Let's have a little global warming!

Today is the 10th straight day of negative double digit temperatures. Yes, not just negative temps, negative double digit temps. I really don't remember seeing numbers like -20, -30 around Anchorage since I was a little girl. Sure, up in Fairbanks it's expected, but not here. It is brutal, let me tell you. Only a few years ago we were marveling that Anchorage really was the perfect place to live (except for the cost of getting out of here) I mean, we had balmy summers, mild winters, a temple, most stores people can't live without - now we even have a Target for heaven's sake - but the last couple years have seen a turnin' tide. I think last summer we had exactly 2 days over 70 degrees, and this winter - well, let's just say, it's WINTER. So, Al Gore, get your rear in gear and make your doomsday prophecies a reality why don't cha!! I guess we can call anything that happens "climate change" and then you're never wrong. That's just it, climate changes over time, in cycles. I remember in high school, we were being warned of an impending ice age. It's always time to panic over something, I guess.

Have you noticed that the same people who tell us it's impossible to build a border fence are the same ones who think we can knock the earth off it's axis or some such? Don't get me wrong, I want clean air and clean water as much as the next guy, but I also want to drive my SUV and heat my house, and solar ain't gonna cut it. Especially around here.
