Planning my sort of sudden, sort of enough time to plan, trip to Hong Kong. I will definitely be dragging my family here at the break of dawn. Also, this could totally have been me. I kind of want those glasses, and the pants with the knee patches, and the purple shoes.

Found an old school box of Chemex filters at Goodwill today (filters look like this now). I took a picture of it because why the hell would I buy a 10 year old, 100 count, opened and used box of yellow Chemex filter when I do not even own a Chemex pot. Then I went to another aisle and found the Chemex pot the filters came to the store with. $2.49.

Now I’m kind of sad I only gave one of them a forever home.

PS. WTF someone sold a box for $5 on Etsy.

Rapidly changing ocean salinities as a result of a warming atmosphere have intensified the global water cycle (evaporation and precipitation) by an incredible 4 percent between 1950 and 2000. That’s twice the rate predicted by models. This NASA satellite image shows the distribution of water vapor over Africa and the Atlantic Ocean on 2 Sept 2010:
