Big time!
I'm still amazed that she has a coffee pot that runs on batteries.
i drink tea.... and that pot doesn't take batteries.
Not to mention we are now in the weakest solar cycle in many years. The usual ebb and flow of these typically sees a long period of calm after a series of CMEs. The real thing to watch to determine if increased solar activity will be coming is the amount, size and intensity of sunspots and sunquakes.It wouldn't knock out the whole world's grid. A lot would depend on the placement of the Earth. The "huge" event in 1989 only affected Quebec. The majority of our planet is actually ocean and unpopulated areas, and only small percentage of populated land would be in the line of fire for a given time. So that 12% figure (1 in 8) needs to be further reduced by other factors.
Taking a page from the Dio handbook...Back in 2012, a powerful solar storm just missed planet Earth. Two large clouds of plasma, called coronal mass ejections, were released by the Sun. If the blast had occurred a week earlier we’d be toast, destroying most of the electrical gear. We’d still be picking up the pieces and the total economic impact would be estimated at $2 trillion.
Eat, drink and be merry... you never know what tomorrow holds.

No No No! It’s got to be Bush’s fault. Statute of limitations on blaming GWB has been extended to 16 years now I hear.Taking a page from the Dio handbook...
This is all NObama's fault!
Oh, almost forgot...
Dude, you know it's all Reagan's fault...No No No! It’s got to be Bush’s fault. Statute of limitations on blaming GWB has been extended to 16 years now I hear.
Well, at a minimum it's Dick Cheneys’ fault as he's continuing his efforts to destroy the world you know.
Dude, you know it's all Reagan's fault...

Hang it out on the clothes line next to the sheets?How would I blow dry my hair?
Oh great! Now Prince is gonna come on here with his pack of rabid lawyers and threaten to sue us if we don not remove those lyrics from the sight! (You know he does this when ever someone puts one of his videos up there, right? Seriously. He does this all of the time. He's even gone after the website Prince.org, which is one of the biggest fan sights out there. Love his music but the man is whack-a-doodle!)I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could of sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care
'Cause they say two thousand fourteen
Party over, oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1779
If that's the case, then a moderator should remove it. I'd gather the mods would only want to deal with one whack-a-doddle at a time.Oh great!

I was being my usual sarcastic self with my post. He only does it when someone posts a video of his somewhere. Can't imagine what he's thinking- the only way anymore to get people to listen to your music is to have a video of it (thanks MTV!) and if they can't see your vid's then they ain't gonna buy your tunes!If that's the case, then a moderator should remove it.
