Diurnal Desynchronization/Winter Fugue

I overslept badly this morning, 'til almost noon-- watched the
Memphis-Tennessee game last night *hic*-- and *damn* here I am finishing
my usual third and final pint cup of coffee and it's already dark . . . .

The sun is gone! the sun is gone!

Cheer up. Only a few more weeks 'til spring. I'm sure TB has the exact

ok, fellow geek, that depends. it depends on whether your IR
receptors are ~sensitive~ enough to detect in that range. for
instance, a high resolution IR imaging system that they now use on
police copters would NOT be able to see a cold cup of coffee, as it
blends PERFECTLY into the background ambient.

so, neener.
