Ever wonder what a tsunami looks like? Find out with this video. I’m not sure if that’s a video of last week’s tsunami, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
A video that *is* from last week’s tsunami shows just how much water such events can displace. It looks almost as though a major river was diverted into a housing development.

This morning I woke up to find a coating of fluffy snow outside on the ground.
Tomorrow, the high temperature is predicted to be three degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, three. That’s really not so bad: Thursday’s predicted high is zero degrees.
The predicted low temperature for here on Thursday is -11 degrees. That’s actually two degrees colder than that predicted for Amundsen-Scott Base at the South Pole.
Good to be in Minnesota again!
As some of you know, I’ve been trying to sell my Bonneville for some time now. I don’t understand why it’s been so difficult to sell. It’s in good condition and the price is reasonable, but interest has been sparse. I’ve always been of the opinion that once somebody sees the car in person, they will like it so much that they will buy it. By that theory, all I needed to do was convince one person to come and look at it.
After running multiple weeks of ads in each of the two major Twin Cities newspapers and a perpetual ad on CarSoup.com, I got about 18 phone calls regarding the car. Of these, half a dozen people wanted to come look at the car and take it for a test drive. I set up meeting times with each of them. Now, here’s the really irritating part:
Only one of those people actually showed up. Just one. None of the others even bothered to call to say that they would not be coming. Arg!!!
But it gets worse.
The one guy that did show up took the car for a test drive. He seemed to like it a lot, so much so that he made me an offer. I accepted. He said that he would return the next day with the money. We set up a time to meet. You can probably guess where this story is heading…
He didn’t show up. He didn’t call. No bundle of cash was slipped in my mailbox.
Why must I keep getting stood up by car buyers? Why?? WHY?!?!
I have become enthralled with The Facebook.
