The OED word of the day is 'isohel'

Noun: (Meteorology) a line on a map connecting points having the same duration of sunshine. A line of equal or constant solar radiation on a graph, plot, or map; an isopleth of solar radiation.



I use my umbrella everyday this spring
it's very very green
these lines are hard to draw
why map such connections
when somebody's home in the kitchen making clouds?

Making a Cloud
Materials
1 empty 2-liter plastic bottle (with cap, labels removed)
water
matches
Procedure
1. Place a very small volume of water into the 2-L bottle.
2. Cap the bottle tightly and shake the bottle to accelerate the evaporation of some of the water inside.
3. Compress the air inside the bottle by squeezing the sizes.
4. Release the pressure on the sides of the bottle and observe any cloud formation inside.
5. Open the cap of the bottle.
6. Light a match, extinguish the match, and attempt to draw some of the smoke into the open end of the bottle.
7. Cap the bottle tightly and compress the air inside by squeezing the sides.
8. Release the pressure on the sides of the bottle and observe any cloud formation.

For D&G
desire is an intransitive life force
under pressure to become
a desire-for-something

they seek to free desire from this pressure-to-become
in the concept of 'becoming'.
