I know this is very grim. Short of a technological(or spiritual) miracle, we are done. I hate to say this. I am 51 years old. I will likely see the end. My kids will not possibly escape seeing it.
The question now is how to live and prepare for a peaceful and loving end..........
peace to you folks

Some winters but I can recall when Florence and I first moved into this house back in 1989 Brian came down on Christmas break with a close friend. Still have the picture somewhere of them running around the backyard tossing a football back and forth.

We met in 1983 in a February blizzard and we have since had a couple of real snowmaggedon winters. But by and large the temp has been rising each year.

It is such a sad thing that we used to believe in leaving the world a better place for our children compared to what we do today, mortgaging their future instead.

Last December was the first December on which I had to mow the lawn. Last January I had to mow the lawn again. First time as well. It made me sorrowfully thoughtful.

I don't think 'We" need to do anything about it. The forces of nature are in charge now.

I predict a significant thinning of the herd.

We will be leaving them Facebook, Twitter, iTunes and Pandora. Google and Uber too.
Depends on our perspective as to what is considered better.

I was pointing out where he got the saying about negative waves. Big 'Kelly's Heroes' fan here.

Meanwhile, I'm vying for the glass bottom boat concession in Palm Beach.
