When the shit hits the fan and they start to take over the world like the monkeys in “Planet of the Apes” I want you to remember a guy that used to hate walking through a field of the buggers by himself – who will be laughing then eh? Arm yourselves now brothers – and I…
Weekly Water Photo has totally went fubar!
I owe you like 6 pictures – next year I am going to do a weekly wanker photo as I seem to run in to them more than I do water. I am going to totally cheat and use pics from over the years I have taken and then not attached to any posts.. …
Kelvinography – The Kelvin-Helmholtz Wave Cloud
The Kelvin-Helmholtz wave cloud looks like crashing ocean waves. These beautiful clouds are named after German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz and British physicist Lord Kelvin, because they form when two different layers of air are moving past each other at different speeds.

It does not get much better than this…
Sadly the Gods of the Pike have been absent from my life as of late – my last two sessions have left me decidedly humbled and today’s session was even worse – it rained. I thought things were looking up as David Wolsoncroft-Dodds emailed me the other day – seemingly a reader of this diary was guided…
The trouble within FORK?
