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”.

Good news: global cooling will not happen this time

"Some researchers speculate this could be the start of a prolonged period of weak solar activity.
The last time that happened, during the so-called "Maunder Minimum" between 1650 and 1715, almost no sunspots were observed. During the same period, temperatures dropped sharply on Earth, sparking what is called the "Little Ice Age" in Europe and North America.
As the sunspot numbers continue to stay low, it's possible the Earth's climate is being affected again.
But thanks to global warming, we're unlikely to see another ice age. "Things have not started to cooling, they just have not risen as quickly," Biesecker said."

Here is something to remember when you see a group of guys trying to know down the guy with the ball then celebrating afterwards.



Please remember if you find yourself profiling or complain about Obamacare or like Ted Cruz you are showing signs of racism.

A taste of common sense

see this link

TWW loves Obamacare....I mean Medicare

Out of a sense of patriotism TWW tried again to access healthcare.gov. The first time he tried  two weeks ago the system was down then he tried again and the system would not let him register even though he had entered truthful information (and NSA knows it).  Today they had fixed the system so he could look at available plans.  Below is what he found. Success!!! well not if you factor in the only company selling on the market where he lives charges him $0 per month for his Medicare HMO (the one Obama wants to punish since it is subsidized) with similar deductibles to the ones charging $300 or more per month).   End of trying to be patriotic.  Well maybe not.  The next step is to attempt to convince Mrs. TWW to let him take the ad to heart below and start looking for disease-free young chicks who like grandpas on the prowl with their Obamacare cards in their purses.

Beware of full stepping on the way up from King Tut's bar in the basement

Since TWW is often accused of being a half-stepper at King Tut's bar he decided to make some half-steps so all the accusers would know what half-steps really are. This is still a work in progress but watch you step
