Bolt Hole Report, March 26, 2010

The temperature at the Bolt Hole was 20 degrees at dawn today and Terry reports the same at the Aerie. Weather.com had said it would get to the mid to low teens but, apparently, the steady rains that started yesterday around 4 PM and the cloud cover associated with them kept the temp from dropping. I didn't get more than a few flakes of snow after midnight (I was up reading Heinlein's Methuselah's Children--thanks Rev. Paul), but Terry says she had 2" of the white stuff on the ground. Today promises to be a bright sunny day with winds out of the north between 10 and 15 mph keeping the temperatures down. Could get those low teens tonight as there will be no clouds.

I'm going to try to install a new CB radio in the Tundra today. With the center console forming a solid barrier between the driver's side and the passenger side, and the fuse box stuck up under the driver's dash, the location of the unit will be a bit tricky. I hate having to screw into a perfectly good and solid chunk of plastic molded console. I'm always afraid of what might be on the other side.

There's been some reports of violence and threats in the media against Congressmen because of their votes on Obamacare. However, if this report form Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit are any indication of the media fact checkers I believe we need to take many of these with a block of salt (not grain a block!):

AN IMPLAUSIBLE REPORT IN THE SEATTLE TIMES: “A rock was thrown through the window of Driehaus’ Cincinnati office Sunday.”

Justin Binik-Thomas emails from Cincinnati that Rep. Driehaus’ office “is on the 30th floor of a skyscraper downtown.” He also says that he spoke to Driehaus’ office today and they said this never happened. Which is too bad, in a way, as the Reds could use a guy with an arm like that . . . .

But remember that the media journalists have all those layers of fact checkers so their reports are always accurate.

The Seattle Times should run a correction.

Ya think?
