[JAGNUTS] Half Empty / Half Full

[EdB]

Hi:

I have always had trouble figuring out the meaning of "HalfFull/Half Empty", 
so I had my wife pour me a glass of Rum.  It started out full, and soon 
diminished down until it was "Half Full/Half Empty".  I noted that the top 
half was empty, and the bottom half was full.  Nothing too unexpected there. 
I continued to drink, and soon thereafter the glass was totally empty.  That 
left me just as puzzled, so I decided I should try it again, and called out 
to my wife, "Pour me another Rum", to which she answered in the negative, 
using a couple of words which I feel need not be repeated.  So, it seems 
that I will not be able to get this Half Full/Half Empty conundrrum figured 
out at this time. Perhaps on a future bottle.

On the brighter side of our weather situation, , the long forecast for 
Regina shows temperatures rising above freezing on March 31, and climbing to 
10 degrees C by the end of the first week of April.  High tide could come 
soon after that.

I am counting on evaporation to remove a lot of the accumulated snow.

As a backup plan, we bought a 6 1/2 horsepower gas engine powered 2" water 
pump and 100 feet of hose.
