the clouds today...so big and puffy! Like cotton balls. or like a parade of floating stay puft marshmellow men Boob Ryan says they are called cumulus clouds. Bang! Bang! From Merriam Webster: Main Entry: cu·mu·lus Pronunciation: -l&s Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural cu·mu·li /-"lI, -"lE/ Etymology: Latin 1 : HEAP, ACCUMULATION 2 [New Latin, from Latin] : a dense puffy cloud form having a flat base and rounded outlines often piled up like a mountain -- see CLOUD illustration

Wikipedia says: A cumulus cloud (Cu) is a cloud belonging to a class characterized by puffs, mounds or towers, with flat bases and tops that often resemble cauliflower. They are formed in the troposphere at a lower altitude than altocumulus, usually below 8,000 feet (2,400 m). "Cumulus" is Latin for "filth", related to "accumulation". They occur at heights of 1,640 to 19,685 feet (500–6,000 m) in elevation from the Earth and most often occur scattered or in dense heaped packs. They are formed by convection. Buoyant, upward air currents known as thermals rise to a height at which the moisture in the air can condense. Because of this, the clouds grow vertically instead of horizontally. For this reason, cumulus clouds are useful to glider pilots seeking to stay aloft for long periods. Though most common in warm summer weather, cumulus clouds can be formed at any time of year. If conditions are right, cumulus clouds can grow into cumulonimbus clouds, which bring thunderstorms.

The site where any idiot can write whatever the hell they want. www.wikitruth.info/However, for simple concepts like this cloud example, I think wikipedia is an excellent starting point, and usually has pretty accurate info, as long as you realize that this is probably just someone summing something up, and if you want to make sure you have the facts correct, look elsewhere.

Did you miss the deadline for Caps Tickets? Do you still want to go to the home opener vs. the Hurricanes?? Do you want to do a bar tour before the game?? Well, here is your opportunity to get on board! The Charity folks have 8, and only 8, tickets available for the game on Saturday. The tickets are cheap!! They are just $15 each!! That's better than half price! Also that night is the " CAPS ON TAP" Downtown Bar Tour hosted by the CAPS, Budwiser, and DC 101! Register from 1-7 pm at R.F.D. (810 7th St., NW) and then roam the other participating bars until 7:00 pm and receive Bud promotional products and drinks specials ($2 Buds) as you do it. The bars on the list are: - Austin Grill
- Dewars 12 Clubhouse @ Verizon Center
- Drinx
- Irish Channel
- Lucky Strike
- R.F.D.
- R-N-R Bar & Lounge (formerly Coyote Ugly; beware no Guinness means no Carbombs!!)
If you already have a ticket (did we already mention you can get one for CHEAP?) the cost is only $5!! That's less than one drink at a non-happy hour price! YEEHAW!! Where else can you do a bar tour AND see a hockey game for a measley 20 bucks?? If you would like to go to the CAPS game, email Patrick ( arodeojock@comcast.net) or Meg ( megkeane@gmail.com) to reserve your ticket now. Tickets will be given to their new owners at the Wackos Happy Hour on Thursday or left at Will Call for Saturday's game. For more information on Caps on Tap, go here: www.capstickets.com/capsontap.html
