8-9pm (EDT, I think) -- One Time Only - Engines.
Story of the development of engines and motors, with
particular emphasis on the ones that have profoundly
changed society. Beginning with the steam engine, we
see how it was created, how it works, and how it led
to the Industrial Revolution. We review the electric
motor, internal combustion engine, jet engine, and
rocket engine, and conclude with a look at futuristic
engine technologies, including hydrogen-powered cars
and microtechnology engines so small that they fit on
the tip of a finger.

That was a Canadian invention you know.

Oh, sure. Where could he possibly have found steam in the
Great White North?

Federal Parliament building in Ottawa -- it is full of hot moist air.

OK so maybe we didn't invent it -- but our politicians perfected the
steam-making process.

Settle down! He meant the Vodka Brad of Scotch - as Invented by Pavel
your friendly Ruski street corner marketer -- the one with the genuine
plastic imitation Rolex watches.

Well, if it's not from Scotland, you can't call it Scotch. (someone
tell the Japanese please). Nothing like a nice single-malt in the
evening. Snifter pour, of course.

I humbly stand before you and accept my admonishment.

Never again shall I say such an uncouth thing.

I prefer Don Pedro -- neat -- in a snifter.

Great, well that's settled.

No jabla Don Pedro, but you drink that, I'll have, let's see...the
Balvenie I think.

trente ocho por ciento senor. 38% by vol.

The Balvenie (single malt) beside it -- which I had forgotten about --
is 40%. (I thought I had the Spanish keyboard turned on ... oh well.)

So we know which of us is the lush. :-)

Sitting back with a coffee and a snifter of either one and watching the
sunset is a religious experience -- kinda like sunrise on Haleakela or
watching the sunset above Desolation sound, or maybe a nice sunset in
Winter Cove off Saturna Island. Or a morning walk in Nayarit just above
PV.... or ...

Of course a nice cigar kinda completes the picture I think...
