iMap Weather for Android

I would recommend iMap Weather for the Droid. Like some others, learning its navigation logic takes a while. It's worth it primarily because the map section shows lightning strikes with time stamps. The privately owned lightning detection network is usually a paid feature.

"I" Overload

Information overload and interruption overload thresholds seem to be inversely related. The more information coming in, the less interruption can be tolerated. The more interruption occurring, the less information can be absorbed. The convergence of these thresholds is half of the communications equation. When observing a person's communications stream, a marked decrease in outgoing could indicate that the person's incoming thresholds are approaching.

Crockpot Melange

Multiple food items have gone into the crock pot. Hillshire Farm beef Polska Kielbasa, Klement's spicy Andouille sausage, Progresso zesty chicken gumbo soup, Del Monte petite cut diced tomatoes w/ zesty jalapenos, Mrs. Grimes dark red kidney beans, whole kernel sweet corn, and Campbell's chicken noodle soup.

As much money as I put out on communications and connectivity, why do I keep washing those cheap "disposable" food storage containers?  "Penny wise, and pound foolish."

The Nonconforming Sparrow

Once upon a time, there was a nonconforming sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter. However, soon the weather turned so cold that he reluctantly started to fly south. In a short time ice began to form on his wings and he fell to earth in a barnyard, almost frozen. A cow passed by and crapped on the little sparrow. The sparrow thought it was the end. But, the manure warmed him and defrosted his wings. Warm and happy, able to breathe, he started to sing. Just then a large cat came by and hearing the chirping, investigated the sounds.
The cat cleared away the manure, found the chirping bird and promptly ate him.

----The moral of the story----

1. Everyone who craps on you is not necessarily your enemy.
   
2. Everyone who gets you out of the crap is not necessarily your friend.
   
3. And, if you're warm and happy in a pile of crap, keep your mouth shut.
