Looked at the long range forecast this morning and next week it's supposed to be up near 40 degrees (F).

We should reach 71 degrees today and 72 tomorrow. Just wish I could remember where I left my sun tan lotion.

We really have not had a winter here in Ga. Just about a week in the teens now we are in the 20s at night 35 to 40 in the day time. I watch the weather and feel for all you with the snow and ice. I still want snow here, no ice just snow.

Mid-70's here too. Getting ready to jump on the motorcycle for a ride to Jeff's house for the BBQ. 
Honest people. We really do feel for you back East. You can laugh at us left-coasters during the next earthquake, o.k.?

HUH? here in New Hampster USA, it has been a warm winta'! Oh sure the last 2 weeks or so have been in single digits, but I rode my bike in December a lot, which isn't normal here.
On Discovery they were telling about Global warming bring in an ice age! Bring it on!
So far here in the white mountains we had 2 pipsqueek snow flurries and the valentines Day Blizzard amounted to less than 2 feet, which is meager for here.
When I was a kid 5 feet of the white stuff was normal. I have a wood cut of the Hudson river frozen over from 1705, and the pic shows ice boats as frighters heading upto Albany.
I can't say if carbon elements we release into the air are responcible for global warming or not, but if they are no one seems to have the answers. And if the answers are emmisions what about the rest of the world where there isn't any form of removing emmisions from factories. And I mean the rest of the world here.
If the USA didn't produce 1/1,000,000,000,000 of a emission, and the rest of the world worked at a rate equal to now and in theory continuing to create more as is likely, what then?
I find it odd global warming seems to mean colder....

The US of A is lagging way behind in trying to eliminate emissions or anything else that brings on global warming compared to other countries.
We are way behind others in the use of nuclear power which is the cleanest way to go right now.
I am ashamed of our policies on contributing to the mess and blatenty saying as much when negotiating with other countries.

I think we'll be able to catch up on cleaning our air. At the rate we are closing auto plants and other manufacturing companies we are reducing Co2 and other bad stuff by laying people off so they don't have to use their cars as much. Of course when when you close just one plant imagine the companies that support it. Those companies also may close and send people home with pink slips thus reducing emissions even more.

Donnahar, HUH? What other places are you talking about?
Which countries use nuke power? ( I have no idea)
What other countries have catalitic converters on their cars? (I don't think any)
What other countries use catalitic converters on the smoke stacks? ( I am not sure of any that do)

Donna,
Ask yourself why we are 'behind' on nuclear power. Environmentalists.
Ask yourself why we haven't built one coal-fired energy plant in the last 17 years. Environmentalists.
Ask yourself why we cannot embrace wind power (those turbines kill birds, don't ya know). Environmentalists.
I'm all for saving the planet from things like Bhopal and strip-mining and clear-cutting and over-harvesting (fish or anything). Fine.
But, the environmentalists are f-ing insane. They see a clear-and-present danger from anything we (humans) do. I'm quite sure they would protest hiking in the mountains because it upsets the animals who live there.
Let's just ignore the inconvenient truth about global warming... it's happening, and it has nothing to do with humans. Show me some science that proves it is because of us. It does not exist. Al Gore can show all kinds of pretty graphs and pictures to show us what is happening, but it does nothing to prove WHY it is happening.
On the other hand, there is a lot of science that he has ignored. Science that is hard to argue with... it shows that global warming is the result of solar cycles and has nothing at all to do with us. But nobody wants to hear that.
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/sun_output_030320.html
And this is not new news
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/07/18/wsun18.x ml&sSheet=/news/2004/07/18/ixnewstop.html
This kind of news is unacceptable to environmentalists. Surely, it must be our fault...
Global warming may be real, but the notion that it is caused by us is, well, just plain stupid. We aren't that significant.
What is real is the battle of the world economies, and the global-warming-caused-by-humans-joke is a FANTASTIC way to level the playing field. The EU minister said exactly that...
Quote:| Understand that, despite its green rhetoric, Kyoto is purely an economic instrument, requiring massive energy use reductions predicated on science that couldn't fool a high-school physics student. One year ago, amid revelations about the collapsing case for warming, then-EU Environment Minister Margot Wallstrom bluntly asserted that Kyoto was "not about whether a bunch of scientists can agree." "[Kyoto] is about economy", Mrs. Wallstrom confessed. "This is about leveling the playing field for big businesses worldwide." |

Why should we be interested in 'leveling' anything? Are we then going to have a treaty to level wages so WE can compete instead of sending all of our jobs offshore? Are we going to have a treaty to standardize all laws, civil and criminal? Why not? If they aren't the same universally, are we still on the same level? Why don't we just sign up for one true world order... that'll fix it. Hmmm.
I wish more Americans would look at things with a critical eye instead of swallowing all the bullshit they are fed.
That isn't a poke at you Donna... it's a poke at everybody who fails to think for themselves. If you take it personally, I apologize in advance.

Jeff,
If you can get here in 1:10, I want a ride in your jet!
My profile is a lie... I moved to Grover Beach, which is just south of San Luis Obispo.
Still, I should make it to a meet-n-greet someday... I'm a dumbass for missing all of them so far.

About Hamilton AFB... you may be right. My cousin and I used to love sneaking around that place just after they closed it. Running from the rent-a-cops that watched the place was almost the best fun we ever had.
