It is a tried and true method of protection, but it does interfere with your typing a little.

Well, everything seemed normal until my dog started barking crazily and I ran outside and saw these curious things sitting in my back yard...

Are those the famed "Gamesters of Triskelion"?

I'll bet 5,000 quatloos that they are!

It is frightening to think that lyn's statement is more easily understood than some of the recent posts on CR4 Is it a sign that our language skills are improving ? Or that we are going back into Cro-magnon era ?

Ya know Lyn, the ET's are now laughing their collective a**es off at you and your tin foil cap......

Didn't ya know that the tin foil cap actually acts like a "shaped charge" and if the ET's hit it with a goodly amount of electrical power your head will explode like a ripe watermelon hit by a .50 cal bullet?

I'm used to me head exploding like a ripe watermelon.

It's the smell of smoldering hair that I can't get used to.

Still have most of it.

It's about the only thing on me that has not drooped, sagged, fallen out or become hard or soft, depending on the specific part.

Unlike my body, my hair has grown lighter with age.

Lovely day here, broke records for warmth, so I think it was an ahse-freezing day in Britain (sorry Del, Kris, Rose, etc), so I went to the beach, so I didn't need a hat or gloves either, so I found some seaweed, so there was more seaweed than I thought, so I stayed out all afternoon and got bag after bag full, so the computer had the day off. I saw no auroras. I am barely dazed.

Please send that seaweed to Obama. He promised to make fuel for us. Or was that swamp weed? Or swamp gas?

Only 8 miles away for me, but we are getting some rain showers moving in, so maybe we will go tomorrow.

Things fairly normal here at 18 degrees North latitude. The tv did sputter a little now and then, but it might have been normal interference.
