Daily is difficult for me, and weekly can be too slow. “Whenever” seems to be the way I post.

Weird Science

Not the movie.

A co-worker (I work with atmospheric scientists) emailed around some photos of rare clouds. They are very cool, but I’m glad I never saw these clouds in person. Because frankly, they scare me.

Maybe it’s the uncanny resemblance to UFO’s and tornadoes that spooks me. I get an eerie feeling  when I look at them.

You can decide for yourself…

Clouds

FYI In case you are wondering …

These are “lenticular clouds”.  They’re caused when the winds are just right so when they flow over Mt. Rainier , the air gets pushed up where it cools and condenses into clouds.  It’s usually a sign of rain within 24 hours because typically the moist flow that precedes a storm in this area is the perfect set up for these clouds.

Rebuttal From a Hazardous Material

Hazardous Material Warning Sign

Ladies, is it just me, or does this make you want to write a Hazardous Materials Data Sheet (HMDS) on the element: Man?

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to write a HMDS for the element: Man. There is no deadline or competition. OK, we all know there will be a bit of competition 😉 . But the only prize is getting to write something fun and reading ones you didn’t write.

Oh, and men? Feel free to accept this mission as well 🙂

Happy writing!
