I don't know.

He definitely has something I'd like to nibble on.

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about the upcoming Peter Krause show on FOX?

I want so much to like THE ORVILLE that I've given the last 2 episodes a shot because the plots sounded interesting. The previous one continued to be a bad blend of serious & silly, but tonight's episode was fairly serious & I thought it was pretty good.

Florida cop tells man who shot him that he'll need a lot of lube in prison A Florida detective who was repeatedly shot by a gunman last year pulled out a tube of K-Y jelly in court to taunt his attacker after he was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday. “You are going to need a lot of this,” the cop, who wasn’t named, told a smug-looking Kevin Rojas, 21, in court, according to The Florida Times-Union. The Army veteran also called Rojas a “coward” and said the incident changed his life. “I will take those bullets instead of a fellow officer and an innocent bystander,” he said. “When I brought the fight back to you, you ran like a coward.” Rojas, who was 19 at the time, was driving erratically when the cop stopped him during a traffic stop on March 9, 2016. The officer was on his way to drop his teenage son off at school, WJXT-TV reported. Rojas opened fire through the cop’s window, striking him in the head and abdomen. The son wasn’t injured, and the detective managed to shoot Rojas before he fled the scene, according to the station. Police later arrested Rojas after he stole a truck. In October, a jury convicted Rojas of first-degree murder, attempted manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault and other charges. His family attended his sentencing and left the courtroom in tears. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3668943.1512087904!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/detective-shot-jacksonville.jpg

No... that only causes tropical depressions.

That's not exactly what I meant. The falling down came first.

Last year I discovered Oldfield's version of an all-time classic:

A hunter in western New York who mistook a 43-year-old woman for a deer was charged with manslaughter on Thursday. Rosemary Billquist was walking her dogs the day before Thanksgiving in the town of Sherman when she was shot once by Thomas Jadlowski. Jadlowski called 911 and stayed with Billquist until help arrived, but she was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital in Pennsylvania. The 43-year-old Billquist was shot at about 5:30 p.m. It is illegal to hunt big game after sunset or before dawn in New York state. "Today, Mr. Jadlowski is being held accountable for his dangerous and reckless conduct when he shot his neighbor in the dark," Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos said. Jadlowski was charged with hunting after hours in addition to second-degree manslaughter. He faces up to 15 years in prison. The funeral for Billquist was held in Sherman on Wednesday. "Like the rest of Chautauqua County, the Town of Sherman has many responsible hunters," Chautauqua County District Attorney Patrick Swanson said. "Having grown up in Sherman myself, I know of many families where hunting is a family affair. Responsible hunting is paramount to the safety of anyone enjoying the outdoors. This incident is a tragic reminder of the importance that hunting laws be followed. This incident was completely avoidable." Chautaugua County District Attorney Patrick Swanson, who grew up in the area, says he knows Jadlowski and also knew Billquist. Swanson attended the same high shcool as the victim but she was "a handful" of years older than him, he said in a Thursday press conference. He added that he would not recuse himself from the investigation into the incident. Department of Environmental Conservation captain Frank Lauricella urged hunters to obey the laws that exist to prevent these kinds of accidents. "In big game hunting you can hunt from sunrise to sunset. Those are specific times you can find on the weather app or in the local newspaper...so when you talk about sunrise, sunset times, they are specific," he said. He said hunters should exercise caution at all times. "Once a bullet projectile or pellets leave the barrel, you cannot call them back. It's very important to know your target, know what's behind it...keeping your finger off the triger until you are ready to fire."

No, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

A volcanic “super-eruption” capable of wiping out human civilization will come much sooner than thought, scientists have warned. Cataclysmic blasts powerful enough to send humanity back to the Stone Age are part of the planet’s normal cycle — happening tens of thousands of years apart. But new research suggests the average time between the events is much less than previously thought. Super-eruptions can blanket an entire continent with volcanic ash and alter climate on a global scale. Scientists have shown they are capable of returning humanity to a pre-civilization state. Like a giant meteor impact, a super-eruption can trigger a “nuclear winter” effect caused by dust thrown into the atmosphere blotting out the sun. Just one of the volcanic explosions can unleash more than 1,000 gigatons (1,000 billion tons) of erupted mass into the air. Previous estimates made in 2004 suggested super-eruptions occurred on average every 45,000 to 714,000 years and posed no immediate threat. But scientists have revised that number to between 5,200 and 48,000 years – with a “best guess” average of 17,000 years. The recalculation, published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, was based on a statistical analysis of a large database of past volcanic eruptions. The two most recent super-eruptions occurred between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago. Lead researcher Professor Jonathan Rougier, from the University of Bristol, said: “On balance, we have been slightly lucky not to experience any super-eruptions since then.” “But it’s important to appreciate that the absence of super-eruptions in the last 20,000 years does not imply that one is overdue. Nature is not that regular.” “What we can say is that volcanoes are more threatening to our civilization than previously thought.” Tourist rescue flights left Bali yesterday when winds diverted the ash cloud given off by the erupting Mount Agung.

Why risk a ticket when you can just change traffic yourself with a bucket of paint and sheer disregard for safety? A relatable Chinese man, from the city of Lianyungang in the Jiangsu province, was caught on camera painting road signs to make his commute easier. The man, a 28-year-old identified by his surname Cai, tells the Modern Express that every day on his stressful bus commute, he noticed the “straight lane was always packed with cars, while the lane that turns left has a lot of space,” according to the report, which was translated by the BBC. So he bravely camped out in the intersection with a bucket of white paint and painted a new arrow that would allow cars to use the empty lane. A photo from the footage shows Cai painting a straight white arrow in the crowded intersection as cars rush past. “I thought changing the signs would make my commute smoother,” he says. Police said the valiant effort was actually pretty dangerous. He was fined the equivalent of $151.

Many parts of Earth’s oceans are still largely unexplored and the deeper you go the more mysteries are waiting to be unlocked. The deepest stretch of the ocean, the Mariana Trench, is populated by strange species that look bizarre and otherworldly compared to the animals we see closer to the surface and new research has revealed a completely new species of fish that ventures deeper than any other and it sure is strange. The Mariana snailfish looks a lot like a big tadpole, but it can live its life at conditions that would completely crush any amphibian. The fish was discovered using sturdy cameras and small traps which, because of the distance, took four full hours to sink from the surface. The creature is a true masterpiece of nature and it’s apparently thriving in its deep home. The specimens observed by the expedition crew were all incredibly healthy and appeared well nourished, which the team attributes to the fact that predators are sparse and food is plentiful at such incredible depths. “Snailfishes have adapted to go deeper than other fish and can live in the deep trenches. Here they are free of predators and the funnel shape of the trench means there’s much more food,” Thomas Linley of Newcastle University, co-author of the study, explains. “There are lots of invertebrate prey and the snailfish are the top predator. They are active and look very well-fed.” With milky, semi-transparent skin and a relatively featureless body, the Mariana snailfish is perfectly adapted for life where sunlight fails to reach. It is completely scaleless and uses its long tail to propel it through the water and it feeds on small crustaceans and other tiny prey. Upon studying a few of the specimens that were brought up from the deep, the researchers were able to declare the fish an entirely new species. Video recorded of the fish living at a depth of 26,686 feet below the surface is the confirmation scientists needed to declare it the deepest fish in the oceans.

I must be losing weight.

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook the east coast of the U.S. on Thursday, the United States Geological Survey reported. The quake had a depth of 8.1 kilometers.
