Clayton: Thank goodness. February's almost over. Katy: Phooey on February. Why does the shortest month feel like the longest? Clayton: It's the sameness of it. Gray. Cold. There's no difference in the weather, so it all blends into one endless season of dizzy flu, wet mittens and dry, flaky skin. Katy: If I was in charge of the weather, I'd insist on throwing in a nice day once a week, just to keep people happy. Clayton: If I was in charge of weather, I'd make it rain from 2-4 am every day, but warm and sunny the rest of the time. Katy: Oh, that's a good plan. The plants would get their water, but we'd be sleeping, so it wouldn't interfere with our outside play. Clayton: Exactly. I just worry about "big umbrella." This will make their product obsolete, and they won't go down without a fight. Katy: Yeah. They might send in their umbrella goons. Clayton: If you see Mary Poppins, run.

I’ve long been in favor of putting a transparent bubble-dome over the city, here in San Francisco. We’re only about 49 square miles and we’re roughly square in shape, which should make the engineering much easier than in other places. Keep it open on the sides to about 150 feet, so we’d still get fresh wind, but there’s no reason we should have to bother with rain, ever. Collecting and storing the runoff shouldn’t be too difficult (relatively speaking), which could be used to water the parks and rinse the streets. This is my dream…

I always thought they were Canadians.

dante, there’s been a lot of discussion about that lately, but I don’t know if Adam’s home can be pinpointed. They seem to celebrate U.S. holidays, so I don’t think they’re Canadian. If they’re in the Northern U.S., the periodic focus on hockey wouldn’t be particularly unusual. There’s been talk of the Pacific Northwest, maybe the Seattle or Portland area. But Adam seems to root for the New Jersey Devils in hockey, and the New York Giants in football, so I’ve always figured he’s in (or at least from) New Jersey.

I prefer 75° with a nice cool shade and a glass of ice cold lemonade.
