On the VOA shortwave the other night heard tell of a freakish product called
"dynogel" which was designed to dissipate storm cloud formations.
Apparantly it comes in crystaline/powder form and is sprinkled from a plane
onto the offending cloud. Upon contact, the dynodust instantly expands
6000x into a "harmless gel" and the cloud vanishes from sight and radar.
THey havn't tried it yet on hurricane force storms. I assume that's coming
next. Entirely unclear to me is what the hell happens with what would
seemingly be the giant residual airborn gel mass?
Also one news story about a boy whose arm was ripped off by a shark. He
lost almost all his blood and had no pulse for 30 minutes but is now
recovering.
Today said goodbyes to the circus folk. Sad but good. I think they all feel
like they've adopted me. Adil's driving me to the airport in the morning.
Superstar transport. Tomorrow back to the real china. Then back to the
real midwest. The plane leaves Beijing at 4:30pm and arrives chicago at
4:35pm, 5 minutes later. Or 16 hours. Like they say abou time, it's
relative.
