I will continue to observe gokunming's weather forecast (forwarded from wherever) and know that it sometimes will get or has got cold somewhere in Time. Fortunately, this is Kunming, I no longer have to live according to a schedule (Salvador's closes at 11PM, I remember that), and so it's all rarely much of an issue...

So it was originally forecast to be 4C at 4AM this morning, whether that happened or not; or it's forecast to go down to 4C before midnight tonight; or before sunrise tomorrow? If it's the first, it doesn't really help anybody now, does it? If it's the second, then I guess I better carry my down jacket; if the third, I'll perhaps just come home early.

Curious about gokunming's weather forecasts - right now I read "11AM, 11C", plus humidity etc. All right, but the other numbers for temperature are 15C and 4C - do these represent previous temperatures between midnight and 11AM (i.e. that it went down to 4C this morning, after midnight last night), or predictions (i.e., that it will go up to 15C between now and midnight tonight and down to 4C before midnight tonight? I'm always confused, because the coldest hour is usually around 4AM.

Problem of phony provincial and local assessments described in Elizabeth C. Economy's 2004 book, The River Runs Black, which covered the situation in other provinces as well. Are things better overall now? Well, very obviously thanks to the production and widespread distribution of private automobiles, among other factors such as massive construction, anybody who's lived here during that period cannot possibly fail to notice the worsening air quality in Kunming. She mentioned illegal logging as well, both in Yunnan and in Myanmar, to provide for construction, as well as the situation of water. The problem, at that time anyway, seemed to be not micromanaging from the central government, but the devolution of responsibility for carrying out central government plans from the center to the provinces. Might this have something to do with expanding privatization and 'cooperation' between local government and developers? Golly, I wonder.

keebler, is this supposed to explain the graveyard finds mentioned in the article? If so, how do you know? Are people in Yuanmou County smaller than their ancestors because they do not believe in God? Anyway, where do you get this theory, and what is the evidence? And what makes you think that smaller means simpler? How long is this supposed to take before we notice it in the human remains that have been found? How long ago was the Flood?

I suppose it is my fault for picking up on Dolphin's remark about lufengosaurus, but note that the point of the article about the graveyard has nothing to do with theories of genetic evolution of different species. The article is about evidence concerning the culture of people - i.e., homo sapiens - in the area several thousand years ago, though of course the bones can be analyzed for analysis of living conditions, food resources, etc. of the people of the time.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
