Is it Friday? It's Friday right? OK, good

For some reason this song crept upon me first in a newspaper article then on satellite radio and now within the deepest recesses of my brain, where it refuses to leave. At least I know most of the lyrics so I don't have to hum:

It's a pretty awesome song.

going running at 9:30 last night wasn't such a good idea.

I seriously cannot drink anymore. I had like 5 drinks in 6 hours and got home and slept for 5 hours and I look like goddamn shit.

I will not scratch this mosquito bite

If you want to stop the bite from itching, take a metal spoon and run it under hot water until the spoon heats up and then press it against the bite for as long as you can stand it, or until cools off, then do it again. The heat will kill the proteins that you get from the bite and stops the itching.

Just be a MAN and scratch it til it bleeds.

I haven't touched it and it doesn't itch any more, fuck your spoon

Met with the meteorologist from the Weather Channel today, the polar ice cap will be permanently gone by 2030 at the very latest, probably by 2020.

Climate is drastically changing because of excess heat. Creating massive high ridges in Alaska and Canada and huge, deep, strong troughs in the US. Rainfall is becoming more concentrated in single events - total rainfall is about the same annually but it's coming in shorter, more intense bursts. Same with snowfall. Winters becoming shorter, drought conditions are going to increase in many areas. Tree species already changing in many areas, northern maple/pine forests likely to shift to oak/hickory.

Tornado outbreaks in the winter in upper Midwest are becoming more common. Heat waves in Alaska and Canada more common - five days of 90+ degree temps in Alaska this summer alone. Winds are shifting north of the equator, starting to see more storm systems move east to west in the US and Europe, never happened before 2008.

Ocean temperatures have risen 1.5 degrees over last decade. Polar ice hit a tipping point in 2007 and went into a death spiral. Will never return.

Dude is completely apolitical and non-biased as anyone I've ever met. PSU grad, was burned as an Accu-Weather forecaster in early career and made him objective as possible...

Said we have to adapt and become resilient as the climate and weather change. Cannot reverse anything...no way to reverse anything.

Sobering shit.
