Cold, front and Center




Are we cold yet? The temperature in the early hours of Sunday were down to five degrees. Does that make your toes tingle? Does it still feel like global warming affecting the tip of your nose? I know I put an extra blanket on my bed.

The thing about the hyped-up global warming saga is that man will adapt. It's how the human species has survived on this little green spitball. If man gets too cold he will move south and if he gets really too warm he will turn up the air conditioner-move north. And in the epochs of any climate change we savage beasts will evolve physically, biologically and even mentally. We are an ever changing entity traversing through time and earth cycles.

So, I don't get too excited over Al Gore's great verbal and printed insistence/assault-that the planet is getting too warm. Good. I like warm, especially right. Bring it on and my toes will glow with comfort and my nose will not resemble Rudolph's.

Taking a shower is an intrepid endeavor even with an electric heater on for an hour. The floor is cold and the bottom of the tub is like icy ice. I used to have carpeting in the bathroom, but decided that it was easier to clean tile than what I had; it looked nice and was definitely warmer, but wasn't altogether the easiest to care for.

I went to the store for a short time this afternoon. I think I spent all of nine dollars and maybe that is more than I should have spent. But, I am pretty well set for any snow storm that is predicted for the center of the week. I need to get brave and get my snow shovel out of the shed.

I listen to talk radio when I go to bed. Last night I heard the expression that "we don't have government; we have corporations." I have been wondering for a long time now, what ever happened to the anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws? Obama is a man of three Gods: Banks, Corporations, and Socialism. Well, I suppose that we should all be thankful that he BOWS DOWN AND PAY HOMAGE to some kind of deity(ies). He is a man of GOD(s), yes?
