Just say "no" to global warming. Sorry guys, I'm one of those "don't believe in global warming" guys. Our warmer temps of the last several years are merely part of the normal cycle of the earth. And I'll take it as long as I can. But I don't think I can extend it any. . .sooner or later the cycle will go the other way and MN will be back to eight-month, sub-zero, never-ending winters. So for those of you in AZ, TX, FL, OK, or where ever south, just stay put and enjoy the heat and year-long Vette season!

Global Warming

No such thing. Just another way for the scientist to get more gov't money.

Mankind is only a speck on earth's timeline. Earth is ever changing and will
continue to go through more warming and cooling cycles long after we are
gone.

Mankind's ego is too big. To think we have such an impact on earth's
lifespan is ludicrous.

Wow, I hate to rub this in for you guys freezing your nuts and bolts off but notice the Christmas lights in this picture of my house in Phx. AZ. This was last December but this is how it looked all this weekend here! I wish all of you could enjoy this kind of weather where you are! By the way what IS a snow shovel?

Nice winter temps. The Summas are another story and the cooling bills are gunna git real pricey come July.

Ya need two homes one on the coast and a winter place in AZ.
Here in the Santa Cruz Mountains its 39 degrees with a high of 65.
Summa temps rarely see 80 degrees. And now for the good part a 50 year old house with 1200 sgft is only $650,000.

You are right ! We have a home 90 minutes away in Payson Az. at 5000 feet on a lake in the pines and one in Show Low Az at 8000 ft. 35 minutes from snow skiing. We have gone skiiing on Sat. and played golf back in phoenix on Sunday. Now thats the best of both worlds!! I do go to San Diego a couple times a summer for fishing+ surfing. SD. is great too!!

Nope, just one.

It's a term for the ******** sized sweat beads dripping off one's forehead in the Texas summer heat.
