"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Awesome ain't he?
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Other places it does different things.  E.g. La Nina encourages stronger Atlantic hurracaines because it reduces the upper altitude wind shear over the tropical Atlantic that would otherwise tear cyclones apart.  El Nino does the opposite.  There's been quite a few Cat 3+ 'caines this year.  They've just all been "fish storms" so they haven't been as noticed.
I would say that if you are Mexico, you wouldn't call them all fish storms.  At two or more storms crossed the Yucatan and hit Mexico.

IIRC the ones that crossed the Yucatan were not Cat 3+.  Far as I know all of those were fish storms.  The ones that crossed the Yucatan were TS's or Cat 1-2.

I refer to the super-duper novel by one John Steinbeck. It's got pirates and everything. I haven't read the eponymous Shakespearean play, but I did see it performed recently in Forest Park. Loves me some free Bard.

Snow is just Nature's bleach--kills bugs, disease and hobos.
Even if it doesn't kill the hobos it at least makes them migrate to Florida.  =D

One was a Cat 3.  

What is your definition of "fish storms" then?  I guess it isn't what everyone else on the planet would call a storm that never reaches land.   =D
