Zen and the art of freaking out
February 6, 2007 in Washington DC: highs somewhere in the 20s, with wind-chill somewhere in the bleakest pits of Satan's wine-cellar.
Came home to frozen pipes, which immediately justified ordering Chinese. Kung Pao makes a plumbing crisis go down with dignity.....or does it? Washington Gas advises us to crank the furnace, warm up the pipes, and leave all the taps dripping. It all resembles living in Syracuse a bit too much.
The final insult? No fortune cookies in the bag. Damn them all.

So that's cold, eh? Last Sunday, our high was... zero. The low was, well, just a joke. Wind chills were almost -30. The most telling sign of the madness? I went out and ran almost 8 miles that day. Yes, it hurt.
Freezing moisture on old roof = moisture drifting down to walls = new roof in the spring + complete paint job for family room and kitchen.
Ugh.
Now cut that out, mister popsicle-legs. It wasn't the indignity of having frozen pipes, as much as it was the whole no-fortune-cookie bit at the end of it all... It's like God itself looked down and smirked.
Well, any fortune cookie in its right mind would have elected to stay put in the warmth of an Asian kitchen and not make that chilly journey in the food travel bag. Did you get any almond cookies? I hear they are less fickle. And more tasty.
WOW!!! Man…
This site is awesome.
I have checked it for a wile and I like it so much.
Really! Most be more sites like this one.
This is a little info for people that want to learn of bongs.
This info is more extensive than this but you can get a superficial idea reading this and
Avoid mistake when you’re starting to use it.
• The base is filled with water to the depth dictated by the bong. Water quality can include use of tap water, which may promote mineral buildup, or distilled water, which deposits less residue on the smoking equipment and is easier on lungs. Sometimes other liquids are used, e.g., lime water, giving the smoke a different taste. More rarely, liquids like Coca-Cola and herbal teas are used. However, such liquids can make cleaning difficult and time-consuming.
• The substance to be smoked is packed into the bowl and ignited. Cigarette lighters and matches are commonly used for ignition. Packing the bowl is a balance between filling it with enough substance to create a useful amount of smoke and leaving enough room for air to be sucked through the substance.
When inhaling, the volume of the lungs increases, causing the air in the lungs to decrease in pressure. The air in the lungs is then at a lower pressure than the air in the atmosphere. The pressure difference causes a flow of air from outside of the bong through the bowl picking up smoke from the burning substance. The smoke then bubbles through water and on into the chamber where it is temporarily held. Once the chamber is full to the smokers desired capacity, the hole above the water level is uncovered, either the bowl is pulled out of the stem, or, in bongs with an attached bowl a "carb" or "Shotgun" (a small hole that is covered by the thumb) is uncovered and the smoke is inhaled into the lungs. Once in the lungs, the active chemicals in the smoke are absorbed into the blood stream.
And you maybe want to learn more about it.
