> Maybe this can lead to a discussion of how weather effects our >creativity. I find that I like to 'get creative' and play when it's sort of dreary - rainy, snowy, dark. But not so much when it's bright and sunny. Might be because I like to play dark and dreary things. ;) If it's sunny I want to be outside doing something fun, like fishing or walking or anything but be in my studio. I was watching some programs about last years tsunami and apparently the earthquake also caused the earth to wobble and spin faster. Not much, a few thousanths of a second, but it changed. Gotta wonder what that kind of major event does to weather, currents, etc. Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: "loop.pool" <looppool@cruzio.com> To: "LOOPERS DELIGHT (posting)" <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 4:03 AM Subject: OT: Climate Changes > This is so off topic as to defy rational justification > except that it affects many of the live loopers > in Western Europe and the British Isles: > > I was talking with Luis Angulo (who is here visiting his family > in San Diego from Northern Europe) and he told me that > they had 3 solid weeks without seeing the sunshine in Radolfzell > (by the Boden Zee).
