    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    It was Homeland Security. After reading all the crazy chit we post, they wanted to be certain if we weren't space invaders or just plain whackos. We are still here. Must have determined the latter.

    And AOC says it’s a heat wave like we have never seen and it’s only July?:D. Just wait until Christmas when it’s really hot and see the blackouts and crashes then.:eek:

    Living here in sunny SW Florida, it's nice and kinda strange not to be the USA's hot spot.
    On another topic, there are certain things that the US government for good reasons does not want us to know. There can be such a thing as too much transparency. They didn't want us to know about area 51 because they are/have been doing classified research there. We didn't know about the SR-71 until it had been operational for 12 years. We didn't know about the Manhattan Project until it was complete. We didn't know about the Normandy landings until they happened. We don't have access to the blueprints for Supermax in Colorado. Just because the Feds don't want us to know something, it doesn't mean that there is a giant conspiracy going on.

    John, I check Fort Meyers weather which is saved on my phone everyday. Lately here in Mass the temp has been higher here in Mass or the same. Right now at 10:15 AM it’s exactly the same at 87F. It’s all about the suns angle. Temps can only get so high.

    The earth has spun off its axis and is hurtling into outer space. The government knows and doesnt want a world wide panic... like there's somewhere to go??? ws

    Bill, last I checked all the constellations and planets were still in the same place. :D

    The North Pole is moving 6 inches a year though. Maybe I should dig out the palm tree? It hasn’t looked good since January anyway.

    Magnetic North Pole is moving towards Siberia at about 35 miles per year. In doing so, it pulls all our electricity along with it. Therefore, New York is no only receiving the electricity that backwoods Virginia used to receive. It's simply insufficient to meet NYC's needs :p:D:rolleyes:

    To hear some tell it, New York City will be submerged by rising seawater soon, so it’ll fix itself. What is it, 11 years we have? If Ozone Al quits flying private, will that buy them another week or so?

    Hey Dave... whats really bizarre is that up here the stars are usually visible and the Big Dipper is usually towards just a little west of due north of us. Altho Merak, Dubhe and Polaris all line up, the constellation seems to be more directly overhead.

    [​IMG]

    Typically, this is the view outa my front door at night looking north.

    Its true the magnetic pole is on the move and always is. Marine navigation dictates TVMDC; True (north on the paper chart) Variation (the amount the magnetic pole changes (maybe as much as 1-2* east or west per anum, noted on the chart and can be more or less depending on magnetic influences; iron ranges etc) Magnetic which is the difference between the first two, Deviation (the difference between those and what the C (compass) reads. TVMDC also an acronym for Timid Virgins Make Dull Companions LOL... Theres other math involved but this is the basics. GPS does all that for you, but I still navigate on paper, right JOHN???? hahaha.

    Its also part of the conspiracy that the magnetic poles change from N to S every millenium or so. What is the "flux" in between or during that change over? Its really just a magnetic field but will our starters turn backwards? Way too much to think about.

    So Tom; at 35 miles per year, how much magnetic deviation is that? One minute of one degree of latitude equals 1.10 miles statute and theres 60 seconds of one minute of one degree of ARC. Thats also a "knot" in navigation jargon. Thats used only on a chart printed in a mercator projection which is the actual distortion of the earths curvature on the paper. Nevre fold a chart as the bends distort the accuracy... Schools out for summer!!!
