 GJ> The present methane producing field should go for 10 years, then the
 GJ> pipes get pulled up and moved along to the next clay-capped area.
 ML> How far off is that area?
 GJ> About 300 metres, I think.

And the next after that? Or are there middens every 300 m?

  I don't know what will be done with the
 GJ> area once its farts are finished.

Anticipating my next question.

 GJ>   As methane is about 50 times worse
 GJ> than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, and would enter the atmosphere if not
 GJ> burnt, that is an additional saving.
 ML> It is said that that is one of the greatest issues with beef
 ML> production.
 GJ> Ruminant consumers of cellulose are great producers of methane.

My point exactly. Of course, human consumers of pulses (in
substitution for this beef) contribute in their own way.

 GJ> Yesterday I saw a program on one of our more enlightened free to air
 GJ> TV channels of the dissection of a recently dead elephant.  It had
 GJ> already become rather "blown", so the gas had to be released by
 GJ> stabbing it.

Different gases. Possibly greenhouse, but not likely much methane.

 GJ> duplicate controls which keep waggling about.
 ML> They were duplicates?
 GJ> Plane used for pilot training as well as charter.

When I flew in that seat, I was warned that they were active
and primary, and I should avoid touching anything unless the
pilot told me to do so.

 GJ> or bathes in Kevin's mug of rough red.
 ML> Ah, how efficient, both sets of bad experiences rolled into one.
 GJ> At least the bird doesn't steal valuables and pawn them, although I
 GJ> have seen the scars on Kevin's arms where it has sunk its talons in.

Such birds have been known to steal valuables, though flying
to the pawnshop might be a new evolution.

 ML> As I might have noted, the self-cleaning ovens of my experience
 ML> have metal shields for the windows, to be rolled up before the
 ML> application of all that heat. Sadly, metal tends to be opaque.
 GJ> I didn't know that heat shields were used.  So how do you clean the
 GJ> window?  As far as I am concerned, getting a clean window is the
 GJ> main object of cleaning an oven.  Baked-on varnish on the other oven
 GJ> inside walls doesn't affect cooking efficiency.

I have no idea how you clean the, or any, window.

 GJ> I just heard of the closure of airports in Europe as result of the
 GJ> volcano erupting in Iceland.
 GJ> Good to see that you made it home safely.  (My BBS has been out of
 GJ> action for the last 4 days, but has now returned to life.)

Indeed. It would not have been a great tragedy to be stuck
in Europe with Lilli, who is admirably suited to me in all
ways except the second most important one, but my pocketbook,
already shriveled by the planned aspects of the trip, might
have suffered severely.

 ML> Could be worse - it could happen during your trip. Which is
 ML> relevant, because the area looks to become seismically active
 ML> again soon.
 GJ> I'm keeping fingers crossed.  So far, so good.  MAS should get me to
 GJ> Europe, and then I am at the mercy of KLM-Air France and their evil
 GJ> non-food.

The thing is belching again, though with some alterations in
flight path most European (other than UK) destinations should
be reachable.
