Something to brighten up my day

[Bret L]

The pungent fumes of trendiness and fashionability depress me, but
every once in a while something really improves my perspective. I cane
home earlier today and found in the mail a pack of DVD-Rs someone sent
me from Canada. On these are really superb versions of many Capitol
era Sinatra recordings in .flac format. There was no note as to where
they were from but the sound is quite magnificent. Someone up there-
as, in Canada-seems to like me.

These are the same tracks capitol has reissued time and again, but
better than any other versions I have heard from modern digital
sources. Specifically, they are clearly NOT the dog**** Bob Norberg
butcher jobs we have been afflicted with for the last decade.

I have no idea who sent them but my guess is it had something to do
with the Pabst Ampex motors I GAVE to a guy who was restoring an real
pro tape machine a couple of years ago from a transport he pulled out
of a dumpster after some cocksucker cannibalized the electronics to
resell to the Assbini ****heads. Whatever, it's like having an older
woman friend prove to be a masterful fellatrix-if you know what's good
for you, never ask where she learned that skill set!

Run through a good set of homemade tube amps into reworked, JBL
2404H tweeted Klipsches, I was hearing Frank as he maybe hasn't been
heard in decades. That's something the consumo set who don't build and
tinker will never understand. It improved my day considerably.

**Well, no. Feel free to submit your evidence. Make certain it comes from a
reputable scientific source. Those whacko religious/right wing political
sources don't count. In your evidence, please explain how the glaciers in
Greenland are moving towards the sea at a rate which is much faster than a
few decades ago. Here's some cites that you need to refute:

OTOH, we may be in for an ice age,

**********. Complete ********, in fact. There is zero evidence of such a
thing. The TREND in world temepatures is clearly up. Year to year variations
are to be expected, but the TREND is up.

> no matter what we do. In fact, doing nothing may be far better than
> the wrong thing.

**More ********. Here's some stuff that we know (beyond any doubt):

* Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, CO2 levels have risen by more
than 30%.
* CO2 is a known greehouse gas (GHG).
* Ice core data tells us that the rise in temperatures is faster than at any
time in the last 600,000 years.
* Ice core data tells us that the rise in CO2 levels is faster than at any
time in the last 600,000 years.
* Ice core data tells us that CO2 levels and temperatures are closely
linked. Sometimes CO2 leads temperature rise and sometimes it lags.

The real concern is that we *may* be approaching a 'tipping point', beyond
which there is nothing humans can do to stave off disaster. Most scientists
feel that this level is around 500ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere. A handful of
scientists believe it is already too late. Either way, we need to address
the issue right now. There is deep concern that the release of methane from
permafrost areas will cause global warming to become unmanageable. Methane
is a more powerful GHG than CO2.
