Tell Me: Griffo Info

There is no such thing! The Earth is a living planet and as such there will always be cyclical changes in temperatures. Now, is this cycle 10 years, 100 years, 10,000 years or longer? It is a big planet, so I suspect the cycle will be LONG.

What happens when the Earth warms up?
Well it is a proven theory that the warmer a body, the more energy it will radiate. So, as the Earth warms, (over some long term cycle) it will also begin to radiate more energy. This will catch up with its rate of warming at some stage, and cause a net cooling effect to begin.

The question only remains, what is the cyclical term in thousands of years?
We are fooling ourselves saying that this year is warmer than last year. We need to look at the BIG picture.

So There!

We are off again on December 2nd for a Long Weekend and some “Hands-On” customer training in Adelaide. Back in the office here on Wednesday December 7th.

emails should still work for support during this time as I will be travelling with my new development laptop PC.

We made it!
But Not without some troubles:-

1: One bag went missing on our first flight: Continental Airlines SanAntonio to Houston. That suitcase did turn up after about 24 hours and was delivered to us in Liberty Tx. where we were staying for two nights.

2: Our checked luggage did not make the same connection as we did from London Gatwick to Dubai. But, upon arrival in Dubai, where we had a 14 hour layover, the Emirates representative advised us that the bags had been located in London, and would be on the next flight, ready to be on our flight to Cairo.

3: Guess what. When we get to Cairo, the bags are NOT on the luggage conveyor. We report to the Emirates “Lost Luggage” desk and they start looking for them. We lose about 90 minutes sitting in the dirty Cairo arrivals terminal worrying about our bags. We finally do get them after John goes with an Emirates Luggage assistant, into a dirty catacomb of tunnels, stairways and locked doors. He and I had to find the airport officer with a final set of keys. This took about 30 minutes as he was away at his Muslin prayer break. Finaly I get the two bags and we head back upstairs to where Candace was waiting with our Cairo greeter from EMECO travel. The bags had in fact arrived in Cairo before we did and were stored awaiting our arrival.

Then we were off to our hotel at Giza on the western edge of Cairo.
This was our first experience with the Cairo traffic (read Chaos!).

Here I am supporting one of the Pyramids at Giza near Cairo.
