Been upside down before

The sun is out, but we are more or less stuck in Wheatland.  This area has the worst winds in the world.  Ever since the Kadizzles were upside down in Colorado with a truck and camper we have been reluctant to try it again.  Kadizzle just got off the line with the weather service.  The fellow gave us some hope the wind may die down a little around noon.  That means we got to sit here for a couple hours at least.  On previous trips we have seen trucks on their side from the wind gust.

Kadizzle had suggested to Winky that we plug on yesterday to avoid this mess.  Nope, so here we sit.

Hope Honest Omar has got his water problems solved so he can escape North Dakota.   Had a lapse yesterday and ate two big cookies, and so M&Ms.  There should be some organization for people trying to get rid of excess chicken meat around the middle.  Maybe we could have HPA meetings.  Hungry people anonymous.  When you have dunlap disease it is hard to be anonymous.  Dunlap is when your belly done lap over your belt. 

So for entertainment we may have to watch CNN for an hour or two until we get so antsy we take off in the Earth Module and get hit by Earth's version of solar wind.

As possibly mentioned in earlier post Kadizzle has become a big fan of Youtube.  Kadizzle may actually be getting smarter.  One interesting thing Kadizzle learned was all the coal on Earth was formed about the same time.  During a sixty million year period, which is just the blink of an eye, there were no suitable bacteria or whatever to break down lignin.  Lignin was something new invented by trees.  The net result was that when trees feel over they did not rot, they just piled up.  For more information watch the video on youtube.  After the bugs figured out how to rot wood things changed.

Next subject, quantum computing.  Try as he may Kadizzle cannot get his head around quantum computing, however when it becomes practical the world will change dramatically.  Many problems too complicated to be solved by the best computers today will be do da for the quantum computers.  In the future weather predictions will be ten times more accurate.  DNA will be totally unraveled.  Humans will be able to simulate things in nature, and things will change.
