Morning, back hurts, kiddos schedule all messed up, going to sportsman's later
Still a lingering cold. That is all I have to offer today.
Happy new year monkeys! Missed the gmt thread yesterday due to kids being a handful, travelling and neighbourhood olliebollen party.
About to head outside with the eldest to frolicking in the snow.
Vacation is coming to an end
Hope you all have a wonderful, happy, healthy year, all the best to you and yours...

More crusty snow riding. Didn't go very far, but worked my old ass off.
Luckily, toddler bones heal quickly. She'll be in and out of her cast before mine comes off. Wtf
thanks, starva, for sending me an animated graphic reminder of the absolutely shit year of riding i've had. PRICKS.
Received Principles of Geology by Charles Lyell in 3 volumes today. It was for payment. I have always wanted my own copies. No idea what it is worth as nobody has ever sold their copies. Very rare 6th edition 1840. Printed in London.

An account that suggests geological occurance takes more than 6 days (plus a day of rest) to manifest? Curious.
Lyell and the Principles of Geology made the first published reference to Evolution as a conclusive fact. Lyell went forth to rebuke that the earth was 6000 years old also. So yes.

Oh... so the earth as we know it was not conceived during a cosmic acid trip taken by a higher being? Still curious, these wild assertions...
Not likely. Sorry about that. Do you have access to a Library And know the difference between Fiction and Non fiction? Marvel or Mystery? A Thousand or a Million? A day to a year?
No, I only know about spaceships in the sky, L Ron Hubbard style. I'm currently studying monetary greed theory.
You have successfully passed my test and win the Darwin award of rudimentary unconscious knowledge. Keep studying so that you can ride your bike whenever you want and have young maidens serve you waffles in the Bong Shed at a relatively young age.
my fav used book site...some of these are contemporary reprints, but not all... http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?st=sr&ac=qr&mode=basic&author=lyell&title=principles+of+geology&isbn=&lang=en&used=1&destination=us¤cy=USD&binding=*&keywords=&min_year=&max_year=&minprice=&maxprice=
Bookfinder prices tend to be inflated asking prices, though. I'd love to have Lyell, though.
maybe...but it's just a compilation of a lot of used booksellers' inventories, isn't it? is there a surcharge to be listed that would lead to a significant price bump?
Awesome , awesome, awesome Hearing my wife tell her mother to shut the hell up as she was sick of hearing her spew ingnorant prejudiced crap. It was hard to keep a straight face while they went at it...
I used my knowledge and my time to earn my indulgence. Having had exposure to these Volumes in my young influential age I marveled at them. I have always managed to maintain a relationship with a library that contained a cohesive copy. Knew where it was and manipulated access of it a rather selfish way. To now have a copy of my own is priceless. I don't believe in Miracles. But surely I have been blessed. Happy New Year indeed!
Not as long as I keep my weight down or try not to push them together while looking in a mirror while taking a proactive selfie....The left is the right and slightly smaller...
