Global Smart Dog

When I use the paper on the floor I can’t help but notice all the articles on “global warming”. At first I though that these were being written as some type of weird humor. You know something like an old Mel Brooks or Woody Allen movie where you had to figure out who or what they were making fun of. It finely dawned on me that these guys are serious in believing that people, cattle, and earthworms are the cause of global warming.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

Let me help you put all of this into perspective.
So take a little time and
HEEL in here,
SIT for a few minutes
STAY for a little enlightenment.
They you too will be as smart as a dog.

Before we go any further let me introduce you to “Occam’s razor”. Occam's razor (sometimes spelled Ockham's razor) is a principle attributed to the 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham. The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. This is often paraphrased as "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one." In other words, when multiple competing theories are equal in other respects, the principle recommends selecting the theory that introduces the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest hypothetical entities. It is in this sense that Occam's razor is usually understood.

Okay now that you have got that, let me ask you this question. Where does the earth get its heat? If you answered “the sun” you are a smart dog. Now if the sun is responsible for the overwhelming majority of the earths heat, then wouldn’t the sun be the simplest explaination for any increase in global temperature.

Now let me enlighten you a little. The link below will take you to a documentary that discusses the true aspect of global warming. It is an hour and thirteen minutes long. If you don’t have that much time to watch it in one sitting you can simply write down the length of time you have watched it (the box in the lower right hand corner of the video screen) and then come back and move the slider bar over to that time and pick up were you left off. This is truly the most educational piece I have seen on the global warming issue.

Some of you that have have bought into the idea that people, cows, worms & dogs are the cause of global warming are probably going “D’Oh” right now. That's okay, sometimes enlightenment steps on your toes. Not to worry though, the pain will go away and then you too will be as smart as a dog. Please feel free to share this blog with your friends and they too can be as smart as a dog.

Yes, it is our God given responsibility to be good stewards of the earth, and a good steward uses his head.

The policeman asks the snail what happened, the snail replies, "I don't know - it was all over so fast."

The Dog Days of Summer

Abby Education - ABBY U.

Everyone knows that the “dog days of summer” occur during the hottest and muggiest part of the season. In ancient times, when the night sky was unobscured by artificial lights and smog, different groups of peoples in different parts of the world drew images in the sky by “connecting the dots” of stars. The images drawn were dependent upon the culture: The Chinese saw different images than the Native Americans, who saw different pictures than the Europeans. These star pictures are now called constellations, and the constellations that are now mapped out in the sky come from our European ancestors.

In the summer, however, Sirius, the “dog star,” rises and sets with the sun. During late July Sirius is in conjunction with the sun, and the ancients believed that its heat added to the heat of the sun, creating a stretch of hot and sultry weather. They named this period of time, from 20 days before the conjunction to 20 days after, “dog days” after the dog star.

The conjunction of Sirius with the sun varies somewhat with latitude. And the “precession of the equinoxes” (a gradual drifting of the constellations over time) means that the constellations today are not in exactly the same place in the sky as they were in ancient Rome. Today, dog days occur during the period between July 3 and August 11. Although it is certainly the warmest period of the summer, the heat is not due to the added radiation from a far-away star, regardless of its brightness. No, the heat of summer is a direct result of the earth's tilt.

I suggest taking a nap!

Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny
By James M. Taylor - Chicago Sun Times
James M. Taylor is senior fellow for environment policy at the Heartland Institute.

.....Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of Nature magazine, "Although it's tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain's foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests' humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine."

.....Gore claims global warming is causing an expansion of African deserts. However, the Sept. 16, 2002, issue of New Scientist reports, "Africa's deserts are in 'spectacular' retreat . . . making farming viable again in what were some of the most arid parts of Africa."

Corn – Fresh Corn – Fresh From The Field

This week Jeff Field (one of my masters friends) came by and picked up Jack to go help him collect some corn. Chubs and I waited patiently while my Master, Bev & Jack shucked the corn hoping that they would share some with us.
They are so nice. We each got a couple of pieces of the fresh field corn.
It was sooooo delicious. Nothing is better than fresh field corn.

Abby Dog Humor

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human beings are the only animals that stutter", she says.

A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered", she volunteered.

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

"Well", she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the rottweiler who lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!

"That must've been scary", said the teacher.

"It sure was", said the little girl. "My kitty went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'... and before he could say "Fudge", the rottweiler ate him!"

(I censored this a little, but for some reason, I crack up when I visualize a cat doing the spitting hiss that's actually trying to say "Fudge" .)
