It has been a long day, and it does seem I am recovering from this upper respiratory infection that seems to be going around. We managed church this morning, and Roberta sang in the choir, and after we went with friends to breakfast, and while it was all tiring I managed it; We even had a walk later. With Sable it\u2019s pretty hard not to take a walk. She considers that an entitlement. Then we discovered that we were out of dog food and I had to go out again. Sable wondered where I was going, and she had an idea where it might be, so I took her along. It\u2019s her favorite place. When we get to the Petco parking area she goes mad to get out of the car. Literally her favorite place. Inside she picked out an enormous bone and talked me into buying it for her. When I was a kid you\u2019d get those for a quarter for a soup bone, but in modern times it\u2019s not likely that any store around here ever sees such bones. This was huge, and will last her for a while, and it\u2019s good for her teeth.<\/p>\n

And then it was time for the Oscars. No real surprises on the awards, and none I disagreed with. Clooney and Streep certainly deserved theirs, and of the nominees I have seen I\u2019d have voted for The Artist. But it all exhausted me, and I didn\u2019t get these notes written up.<\/p>\n

I strongly recommend http:\/\/i.telegraph.co.uk\/multimedia\/archive\/02148\/RSL-HouseOfCommons_2148505a.pdf<\/a> as about the best rational discussion of CO2 and climate I have seen. It\u2019s reasonably technical but not overly so; and it asks questions. I particularly invite those who believe in AGW to read it and send me your comments.<\/p>\n

I actually know that Clooney didn\u2019t win the best actor award, and I thought he dshould have. IN fact I thought that so thoroughly that I seem to have made myself think he had. That\u2019s an odd trick for memory to play on me.<\/p>\n
