Funny shit…great interview. ~jg

“Jerry Garcia would have turned 74 on August 1st. Do you have a favorite memory of him?”

Phil: “It’s the three of us – me, Bob [Weir] and Jerry in the Los Trancos Woods near Palo Alto in the summer of 1965. We’d wander around – you can imagine the state we were in – and I ran with Bob into some gully. We’d hang out there, looking at the trees. We came back up the road, and there’s Jerry scuttling across the field, kind of like a badger, a three-toed sloth, on all fours. He’s scurrying across, and he’s moving fast. Then he sees us, and he gets this sheepish grin on his face. And he flops on his back.”…

Norway denies plans for a ban on new gasoline and diesel cars

So, Norway was for banning gas/diesel cars before they were against it? Or they just took a couple months to deny the ugly rumors?

A lot of people thought Norway was pretty cool for the decision…I guess somebody made them an offer they ¢ouldn’t refu$e… (hint: norway is the 15th largest oil producer, pumping out nearly 2 million barrels per day).

NASA wants to deflect an asteroid but now it says it will need some help. The plan is part of the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), in which the agency hopes to capture part of an asteroid and drag it back to Earth within the next decade.

Taking advantage of melting sea ice, luxury cruise ship sets sail for Northwest Passage

jamieLeave a comment

So, you don’t think the climate is changing towards the warmer?

Then why not be on the first ever cruise ship to be able to navigate from Alaska to New York via the Arctic Northwest Passage?! This is not necessarily the history we want to be making…but now you can ask a polar bear how he feels about it, safe from the deck of your cruise ship as you sail by. #ArcticMeltdown #CruiseShipHell
