Haven't really noticed that
But I always close all my browser windows at least once a day – saves any memory leaks that may be present from biting me in the rear.

Rather than kill them with fire, I just switched to Chrome by default. If I need Firefox, it’s still there.

How do you tell how far away a thunder storm is?
One way is to count the seconds from a lightning strike until you hear the thunder and then divide the number by five. This supposedly tells you how many miles the storm is from your location.***Another interesting point: Lightning registers as radio waves; you should hear static on your radio whenever lightening strikes in your general area. You can count the seconds from the static you hear on the radio until you hear thunder, divide by five and find out how far away the storm is.

now we all know Fox would never lie
Lightning and Thunder
Thunder and lightning go together better than peanut butter and jelly. You can’t have thunder without lightning!
What is Lightning?
Lightning is a bright flash of electricity created by a thunderstorm. All thunderstorms produce lightning and are very dangerous. If you hear the sound of thunder, then you are in danger from lightning. Lightning injures or kills more people each year than hurricanes or tornadoes.
What Causes Lightning?
Inside a thunder cloud, many tiny bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges. The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The ground’s electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people, or single trees. The charge coming up from these points eventually connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and lightning strikes.
How Hot is Lightning?
Lightning is approximately 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That is six times hotter than the surface of the sun.
What Color is Lightning?
Lightning seems to be clear or a white-yellow color. Its appearance depends on the background you see it against.
What Causes Thunder?
Thunder is caused by lightning — you can’t have thunder without it. When a lightning bolt travels from a cloud to the ground, it opens up a little hole in the air, called a channel. Once the lightning disappears, the air collapses back into the hole and creates a sound wave that we hear as thunder. The reason we see lightning before we hear thunder is because light travels faster than sound.
Can Thunder Tell You How Far Away a Storm Is?
Yes, you can use thunder to tell how far away a storm is. Next time you see a storm, count the number of seconds between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder. Take the number of seconds and divide by 5. That will tell you how far away the storm is in miles. For example, if you can count 15 seconds between lightning and the thunder, the lightning is three miles away.

I would answer
but Al would kill me. However forgetting any politics, beauty contestants are supposed to be like the BCB and avoid politics. The correct answer to that question would be something like " I have my own personal opinion but I think it is up to states/voters etc to decide" If she had been asked something like " as a devout Christian do you believe all Jews and Muslims are damned to hell" She should also have responded politely that her personal views on that kind of subject were none of anyone’s business and she wants to work for world peace and to help special needs kids. It is totally inappriate for someone in her position to not only make a blatant political statement that was bound to offend people ( the same as if she had given an answer in FAVOR of gay marriage) but to then become an active spokesperson for a political cause.
Her job frankly was to look good and go to a variety of silly events and work with her chosen “cause” the Special Olympics. Again forget the specific ideology or belief, she DID not do the JOB she was/is being paid for.
As I side note she had told several versions of how her racy pictures came to be, none of which appear to be true.

Continuing to forget any politics...
How weird is it that someone’s job is to look good, go to events, and answer any questions asked of them by not answering them? Beauty pageants are so wack.
Not to mention the fact that just about any answer involves giving an opinion — the idea that states and voters should decide the issue is an opinion as well. She’s not asked not to answer, but rather to answer a question directed at her personally by accommodating all opinions but her own. To replace her identity with homogeneity.
Ironically, she probably could have got away with truly saying nothing on the subject if the conventions of pageantry allowed and conditioned her to assert herself more, to have some personality and humor. She could have dodged the question with dismissive wit, like JFK. But because she was trained to be submissive she got stuck in the corner the interviewer wanted. One mistake, and he’s used her for the sake of his politics. Beauty pageants are SO WACK.

That means they are currently 1 game off the lead at this moment, but why let facts get in the way of flaming a team….
Man, those who have asserted that Sutton is a real p***k are correct. There’s no reason for this type of “observation….”

Oh no!
Lou says he’s gonna rest a few people tomorrow. Hope that doesn’t mean we’re getting the AAA benchwarmer roster! I can just see it, Koyie, Freel, Hoff, Reed, and Scales. Better hold em to 2 or less!

I think that's just an excuse to sit Lee and give Fontenot a rest too...
both have been struggling and Hoff and Scales need some PT.

Was the unicorn obsession inspired by Scrubs?
I thought so at first, but you’ve never tried to deny it was a unicorn but rather a horse with a sword on its head.. hmmmm

I am not
a Scrubs fan. I’ll watch it, but I don’t follow it or anything.
