The cold is making me wonder why I stayed in the midwest to go to university, I should have chosen Hawaii or Florida!

I think I've used more gas letting my car warm up the past week than I have actually driving it!

At least you don't pay $10 a gallon. :o

The worst part of the road is at Stonehenge. The queue is regulary to the roundabout at the bottom, and the traffic light have made it worse.

You're still better off going up the A303 to the east than going westbound. Too many single carriageway sections with limited overtaking between Stonehenge and Mere, then again around the Somerset/Devon border.

Whilst attempting to avoid boiling up in my '52 Riley last year en route to Wincanton I discovered a good diversion to the north through all the military camps - quite quick roads and very direct. A303 is a definite no-no at present but that's something of a shame as parts of it are really scenic but two hour traffic jams in the blazing sun and with no air-conditioning aren't good for the heart rate...

Or you could divert at Andover through Middle Wallop to Salisbury and down the A30 to Shaftesbury and on to Wicanton that way. I used to do that if I thought it would be too bad on a Friday afternoon when I left work to drive west.

But it is a nice run over that part of Salisbury Plain,

No joke here - our furnace gave up the ghost yesterday and we are using our gas fireplace for a bit of heat but temps are falling precipitously and we may leave for a hotel this afternoon if they cannot get the part we need for it. Snow thrower gave up the ghost on Sunday and have to get a new one. This cold stings.

Sorry for you.

Can't or haven't you got electrical radiators?

I always have a couple in the garage.

But then again getting your head down in a nice warm hotel does have its appeal.

Yes, it is about 15 miles east of here. I go past it every time I have the misfortune to go along the A303 to Andover or further.

Geoff.

We often stop at Avebury travel lodge on the way to Devon/Cornwall travelling down Friday evening making an early start Saturday before the glut of traffic.

I do like the A303.

Only among Brits could such a conversation take place! :D Puts me in mind of Bill Bryson in Notes From A Small Island, where he compares a typical pub conversation between Brits planning a 50-mile trip over Bank Holiday, with Americans who wouldn't bat an eyelid driving 100 miles for a pizza. Or 'Mr Hilter' in Monty Python - "Ja, we make a little, what you call it? Hike, ja. Hike, for Bideford." "Oh, you'll be wanting the A39 there.. oh no no no, you've got the wrong map there - this is Stalingrad. You want the Ilfracombe and Barnstaple section." "Oh ha ha ha, Reggie, you haf ze wrong map." "Oh so sorry Mein Fuhrer -" [slap] "- I mean Dickie old person, you leg-before-wicket Englishman."

Tony Robinson and time team have several documentary how GB or maybe Ireland become an island,The oldest monument is stonehenge and others on that area...high ground in west of GB or west of wales..melting of glacier ice in north america increase the sea level.

Rock art.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-18648683

Making art by flint or other stones

Seen several on rock art in GB....most are circle symbol to planet or power symbol?...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_art

There is a hole made in glacier times in great lakes in NA. also in antartica

http://phys.org/news160645491.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremophile

Carving stone by flint or other stones will take time and effort,below the antartic and North america in glacial times can make holes by natvral way..?..

Limesstones can easily cvrved by combination of water and fire dont know if it will work in feldspar and sarsen with sodivm element on it?.

The dense brine or salt that comes ovt in frozen antartic?.

Jvst a comment.

Sarsen always moist weathering?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarsen#Human_uses

Maybe like rock Hydrolysis?

like single cell bacteria that secretes flvid like svlfvr....like in great lakes might be remains in last glacier or the lake is pollvted and bactria changing the waste in great lake and end resvlt is svlfvr acid.

Rock made of..?.

Skeletal fragment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limestone

Feldspar and sarsen?

Feldspar no ore..hava Ca.Na.Si...

http://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2012/hardy-organisms-discovered-in-bitter-cold-antarctic-brine/

Ca.. bones mostly in living animals,Ca settle to sediments Limestones?heated by magma flow or by heat feldspar?

Weight?

Some artifact made of dolerite axe and arrow head or on that area or rock from stone henge it self,wonder what is the weight or arrow head made of dolerite as a penny is smallest vnit and one pillar of stonehenge is a Povnd?,22 grains remains standard in arrow head in silver sterling.

Heated more they are making glass and crystal on feldspar the finer the sovnd the finer the glass like what they discover that stonehenge made for acvstic maybe like the theory Om sovnd of cosmos?

Now they are making glass from felspar to make glass or crystal more

In one of the episode on the earth weather planktons and algae bloom..color red..?? play a part in eco sytem,moss is color green as other plants,tardigrade waste prodvct is svlfvr..color yellow from its secretion.?Blve like dolerite,azvrite and lapiz lazvli where they did get there color the only color blve element when bvrn is copper.? minimal or less svlfvr maybe.blve whale eat mostly of planktons some color blvish green,jelly fish is consider a plankton,circle...or cycle .. they need svnligth to trigger tardigades to be active i think.

And what has this thread to do with pre decimal coins?

Nothing. That's why it's in the "Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area".

Maybe the acid sulfur or carbon acid...etc in the ocean and fresh water then breakdown by microbes

RBG,yellow for sulfur...bitter most bitter food have high content of sulfur?,carbon is black crystalized transparent.

Just posting.
