Attn Iowa BABloggees!

If you’re in the Iowa area, and you aren’t frozen in a block of ice, I’ll be on KDTH radio for a (taped) interview with Tom Berryman on Friday at 12:30 central time (and for those of you not in the central plains, it will be archived eventually on their site). We talked various topics, including the book of course, as well as aliens and movies. Being topical, I used Dubuque as an example of a city being hit by an asteroid. I hope they don’t mind.

I think these two things are mutually exclusive this week. *sighs*

I mean, really, is it -OUR- fault the city has a funny name?

As a resident of Dubuque, I don’t mind at all.

Today’s forcast for me (Southern Cal) is clear, sunny and 60 deg F.

Malibu had snow, though.

I’m tellin ya, it’s an ice age that’s approaching, not warming. You heard it here first, kids. I am in the vanguard.

An asteroid is far more likely to hit Accident, Maryland anyway.

Darn. I’m back in Colorado. I’ll have to wait for the archived file.

I wonder if I should tell my Dad that he’s in danger from asteroids? After all, some astro-something-or-other guy was talking about it.
