At home, the ice maker is defunct. The martini has to be shaken not stirred using snow outside from atop the American yew bush. The last cut crystal martini glass broke years ago, probably thrown into a fireplace somewhere after a toast. The lengths one has to go to get a decent drink around here...Saturday, January 29, 2011

Space Invaders ("They're here")
ReplyDeleteThe following diatribe was found on the internet on "Why you shouldn't eat (drink) snow."
Snow comes from the clouds which are in the upper atmosphere. Up there in the wild blue yonder, there are various spores which have floated around for thousands of years and being so far up in the atmosphere, it is the edge of space, so possibly any spores which may have come from outer space, they might get trapped in the snow and fall to earth, and if you eat the snow you might ingest those spores.
In the case of snow, the solvent nature of the water has been paused, the physical state of the water is such that the solvent ability of the water has been reduced so it has not been able to kill any microbes which may have come from outerspace. So if you eat snow you might be eating deadly bacteria from outerspace, or ingesting any kind of pollutants which have not had time to be broken down by the liquid properties of water.
Egads! My sister, the alien incubator...this explains a lot.
