Life in the fast lane.
Whenever we get to the month of September, I begin thinking about the year in review prospects for my other site, the HorrorReport.com.. after all there would only be four months left to the year.. And now, here we are, mid August — already! The time is moving faster than I ever remembered.. is it because I have a child? A new life this year making my own zoom ahead in fast forward? Or perhaps it’s because I hit the 30-year-old mark.. halfway home depending on my social security age health..? I don’t know. But what I do think, though no science will ever prove it, the idea of time does change and it does, for some reason, go faster as you get older.. My mom and dad almost 70… my brother and sister in the 40s… and my life changing rapidly daily. All as the earth rotates into infinity..
The end .. is the beginning.. is the end.. is the end.
The end of today.
Goodnight.

Update
Three people were killed and 24 injured Saturday night when a stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair, the Indianapolis Department of Public Safety said.
Blurry video captures the moment the stage collapsed at a Sugerland concert at the Indiana State Fair, leaving at least four dead and two dozen injured.

and every time Michelle Bachmann speaks, I’ll screech my fingernails across it… since I’d rather listen to that than her.

A little worries over how far a Prime Minister can go…
London’s response to riots: Lose your hat, your home, and cell phone signal..
Going to tackle ‘social problems’..
David Cameron: The iron fist?

Cholera outbreak spreads in Somalia..
Famine as well..
Somalia cholera outbreak related to water and sanitation .. spreading quickly ..
Frustration over famine relief..
Somalis flee ‘child conscription’..
Children flood hospitals..
And speaking of Somalia..the United States has been busy—hiring contractors! The US is hiring security firms to train troops.. Bancroft gets the mission .. the US is relying on contractors in the conflict..
There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with this planet, so many times over, and over again.. Prayers for Somalia (and everywhere else strife and famine rule the way)..
Prediction: Rick Perry will be the Republican nominee for President.
Other predictions:
- Ron Paul will run as an independent.
- Big bankers will give big money to both Perry and Obama.
- Obama will still win.
- The Great Depression will continue.
Awake now..
Goodnight now.
Sleep but avoid dreams.

After midnight...
…a meteor shower is set to dazzle watchers… Good luck watching. If you have kids, as I do, you’ll most likely not be able to make it.
Goodnight.
It’s 12am on a Friday. But we’re close.

The only song I can think of for a night like tonight. London on fire.. solar flares dire… Wall Street for hire. What a bad day… hopefully it will just get better tomorrow… …*Why do I doubt it will?*
More from London... And not good news, either
Momma said there’s be days like this. And I’m sure ‘mum’ did too.. Too much in bad news today.. my head is spinning.Joblessness, service cuts could fuel more UK rioting

This will undoubtedly become of the more famous photos from the London mayhem: A terrified women jumps from a burning building as the riots continue in one of the most wonderful cities on earth..
Speaking of solar flares.. another one just erupted
Spaceweather.com reporting:
Sunspot 1263 produced an impulsive M3-class solar flare on August 8th at 1810 UT.
The latest on today's horrid day in economics
Big Wall Street plunge: 633 points..
Worst since 2008..
World reacts to USA credit downgrade..
Buying while the market buckles..
The market tanked as Obama talked..
Michael Moore: “Show some guts” to Obama.. arrest the S&P head..
…instead of Michael Moore’s suggestion, Obama blames Tea Party..
Republicans, in turn, blame Obama..
Obama says USA is still AAA..
Financial Armageddon? So say some after the Great American Downgrade..
The news today .. for the first time in a long time.. alarmed me
Call me paranoid but the news of financial Armageddon doubled with prospects of solar flares… yea… call me paranoid. but THAT!

Great story from mothernaturenetwork:
U.S. pipelines at a crossroads
As the Yellowstone oil spill and other recent disasters reveal the risks of aging pipelines, MNN takes a closer look at the 2.5 million miles of oil and gas lines zigzagging across the U.S.
Even more alarming in my mind: So many of the pipelines and gas lines traveling the underground of the United States are made of wood. Really.. they do. More here
Question for science folks?
What scares you the most:
- Solar flares?
- Asteroids?
- Comets?
- The unknown
Just wondering.
For me, it’s probably solar fares… At least there’s the possibility we’d be hit with an asteroid by surprise, but a solar flare? …we got hours of knowledge before it strikes. The ‘knowing’ scares me more than the unknowns…
The summer is almost over.
Everyone is almost all used up.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
Got lots of responses to my question yesterday on how the newest APES film was.. Most agree: it was great. Now, anyone out there want to babysit so my wife and I can go?

Latest from London: Riot scene being described by news accounts and Twitter feeds across the net.. Being called a war zone, 26 police officers have been hurt..
Dozens have been arrested in the violence..
The riots are taking place in the economically deprived Tottenham area. Police cars are being set of fire, buildings and buses are being torched..
It all began when Mark Duggan, 29, father of four, was killed in what is being described as an ‘apparent’ exchange of gunfire..
Developing story that the world is watching..

Solar flared out? …not the sun. A sunspot, 1263, is only getting bigger.. As a matter of fact, here is how SpaceWeather.com reports it:
Behemoth sunspot 1263 has almost doubled in size this weekend. A 28-hour movie from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the spot developing a tail that has added some 50,000 km of length to the active region. This development may increase the likelihood of a strong flare.
Watching and waiting… staring at the sun….

What a year!
And if they had to do it again, would they have stayed in the mine…?
Living in poverty: A year after the world was chilled watching Chilean miners get rescused on live TV, they still live in poverty and strife..
And not only dealing with poverty, but now they have to deal with fruit being hurled at their heads! Protesters threw fruit at the rescued miners, accusing them of being greedy..

And finally, in my hope to cheer up the world: Scarlet Takes a Tumble
For those up in the wee hours of the night..
Tonight/this morning’s Coast to Coast AM will be hosted by Ian Punnett and feature an interesting topic: The prospect of technology turning on us.
I think of that every morning when I use my electric shaver…what if it gets mad at me.
Another oldie but goodie: The news team that couldn’t stop laughing at the news
Cheer up all: HE-MAN sings!
The S&P downgrade.. solar storms.. comets approaching. With all this bad news, here is the video we need: Good times with Pastor Gas
……this REALLY SCARES ME
The coal region gets a black eye for lack of things to do .. but this new thing to do is pretty cool
In your face America: The Coal Region has something that few others do. (Besides mounds of rock and leftover sulfur rivers from abandoned coal mines of course) A digital drive in! That’s right, The Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, PA, will have a digital drive in as of August 12.. There were only four of these in the United States. And we got it..
Now, some may say it will close down within weeks after people, not wanting to spend $7 a car and instead just $1, don’t attend. And others will say the hot dog prices are too cold. And some may even complain about strange radioactive digital pollution that is being placed into the brains of the subjects viewing the content on the side of the mall building, but I say, this is pretty cool while it lasts. And I hope it does last…
The area responsible for Mrs. T’s perogies and block party halushki will have what few others do: A modern 21st century digital drive in. It will be like a time machine watching people, dressed like it is 1985, going to a digital movie in the modern age.
