Default Hurrah for global warming!

November 4th, IN WISCONSIN and I have my top down!

70's and sunny

I say bring back aerosol and encourage more global warming!

On a sad note, I went to a local mall fro lunch with my wife and sure enough, right there in the middle of mall was Santa's Village, and Santa was already there taking pictures with the kiddies. Just plain wrong.

But who cares - I've got my top down and an 80 mile drive ahead of me this afternoon.

I'm half and half on the issue ( being able to drive with top down now).
I was hoping for an early ski season but am somewhat happy to get some more time with the vert.
waiting for snow.

I don't think that man is totally responsible for global warming due to the simple fact that the earth has been warming up for the last 20,000 years, or the peak of the last ICE AGE.


Cold weather SUCKS!

I think you hit the nail on the head. I also heard that Air-Force One has some kind of machine on it that causes hurricanes.

And don't forget we've been coming out of the IceAge for the last million or so years. So a few extra days fo sunshine in November aint hurting a thing.

It has been absolutely beautiful here lately. But only now am I able to go out in the garage to work on the car without sweating *********.

I guess global warming, "per say" is a good thing in some ways during this time of year. But during the summer in Texas, "It sucks azz!!"

I keep thinking that sometime before I reach the age of 50, I will have to head a state or two north to survive.

With both statements. I think I'll convert my A/C system from 134A to R12 anyway, just to help out!
