Concerning soup, porridge and tea
(and simpletons like me...)

Since Robert Grumbine recommended beating some cornstarch with a spoon
to appreciate what mantle flow as a viscous solid was all about, I
thought I'd make a pot of tea to see what convection was all about as a
fluid.

Now the interesting thing here is that it tumbles nineteen to the dozen
down below, but the skin on the top is is as solid as a rock. How
come? What's more if you stir it with a spoon then you get all this
wild whirling dervish inside the tea, but after a minute the skin sits
still while underneath the surface it keeps whirling.

That's a good start. The next step should be popping your medication
in your mouth and washing it down with that tea.

Meanie-pants.

I know, but I've nothing else good to wear for casual Friday.
