Free Lunch for Internet users!

Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 9AM to Noon - lunch afterward - reservations required

Well, there is no such thing as a free lunch, but this one won't cost you any cash. ELS is considering the creation of a new social networking website especially for seniors - similar to MySapce.com, but no kids allowed. They have selected Coquina Crossing as their focus group. Coming here on Thursday, will be a representative, from New York, to discuss the idea with specific Internet users - those who own a computer and use it for email. If that sounds like you and you would like to express your thoughts and opinions, please make a reservation by calling Mary (at the front desk) at 810-5000, ext. 0. Call quickly, they can only accommodate sixty people.

A feather in the sky

Not a real feather, but a cloud formation known as a fall-streak. Fall-streaks result when the cloud droplets, ice crystals or supercooled water droplets composing a cloud are agitated in some way and suddenly fall out. Usually, they form when ice crystals from a higher cloud level fall through a lower, thinner cloud layer, as seems to be the case here. Note the clear area of blue sky surrounding the "feather." Supercooled water droplets in this lower layer freeze as the crystals pass through, and this freezing action acts to release heat (latent heat of fusion), which warms the air and causes the surrounding cloud droplets to evaporate. Thus, this precipitation rarely reaches the surface. Photo by Jerry Lowell.    EPOD
