The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Aching back time?



TWW thought he had moved more wood than needed for the last heating season and so was going to cut back for this fall and only had a little more to go in moving wood for this year but then read this from his favorite climate scientist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville: 


"Global Average Sea Surface Temperatures Continue their Plunge

June 18th, 2010 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.
Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) measured by the AMSR-E instrument on NASA’s Aqua satellite continue their plunge as a predicted La Nina approaches.....(followed by a bunch of graphs and scientific language)......What this shows is an unusually large increase in reflected sunlight over the last several months, probably due to an increase in low cloud cover.  At this pace of cooling, I suspect that the second half of 2010 could ruin the chances of getting a record high global temperature for this year. Oh, darn."

Next winter might be a cold one so be prepared.

geeepers tww...you must hve been a city kid. the first thing to start the woodpile is to find some lengthy logs and lay them side by side and then stack the wood on them. see, its your basic laws of physics der. with da wood laying right on the ground it gets wet. then the ones laying on it get wet. can you see where im going here. i wanna see some imporvement or you might have to re stack the restacked stack. you dont even want to go there. just a free hint and you know what free stuff is worth. hfec
