Better buy some paddles folks because the grandkids and great grandkids are going to need them. Nine degrees fahrenheit predicted.

Hmm, hills or sea level. If I moved to the hills then it is the Hayard faultline that runs midway through the hills.

Maybe buy a boat.

We had a new septic system installed a few years ago. When the inspector came out for the perk test we discovered that my lot is all white beach sand about twelve feet down. We were probably waterfront on the one Great Lake before it settled into the five Great Lakes.

What worries me more than CO2 is man-made surfaces that retain heat, i.e. heat islands. But you guys already know that. I'm all for reducing fuel consumption too but not for the CO2 reason. I'm more for it because of the fighting for oil, noise, inefficient city layouts, etc.

We have a massive amount of blacktop out here just radiating heat. It's raised the temps here for sure.

Maybe we can get a river or two to flow through here soon....
