Today on my way to the Farmer 's
Market to pick up some fruit, I
had one of those NPR driveway moments.
A driveway moment is when you can't
turn off the radio, can't turnoff
the car, can't get out of the car,
because you are captivated by a story
being run on NPR at the time. The
object of my intense interest was
a, story about methane gas geysers
in the fresh water lakes of the
near arctic north. It was ostensibly
just another story about the subtle,
but apocalyptic effects of global
warming, however as Melissa Block
related what she was seeing in the lake
I became more intrigued. She talked
about how the lake had the look of
a giant fizzing soda pop in the area
where the gas was rising out of the lake.
I think what really grabbed me was when they began describing what happened when open flame was
placed near the gas geyser,
a blowtorch effect was created. I guess I sat in
the car for about 5 minutes until they
finished the story, only us loyal NPR listeners know how subversive and disruptive NPR really is.
