Simply Amazing...

especially when it comes to the I-phone?

Exactly. funny thing, I really don't miss those days... Funnier thing - My work phone is due for a replacement. Only smartphone I can get without paying sprints 10 buck add on? The Iphone... Needless to say, I still need a phone replacement... I'm leaning towards spending the 10 bucks. That'll cause your gas prices to increase by a penny or so, but tough, deal with it.

Hahahaha! And, I am the only one who isn't doing that!

I think more of us do that than are willing to admit it. happy new year Tar!

Fricken Winter here in Honey Harbour, Ontario...MINUS 20 this morning and a WHITE landscape... Colder than brass monkey balls on ice. Winter found it's place here but two days before Christmas it was like Spring. ...almost warm. No snow to really speak of in southern Quebec and Ontario. January..February...March...Tulips.

It takes an expert in the field to properly weigh the evidence.

from 2005:

"Rising sea levels, desertification and shrinking freshwater supplies will create up to 50 million environmental refugees by the end of the decade, experts warn today. Janos Bogardi, director of the Institute for Environment and Human Security at the United Nations University in Bonn, said creeping environmental deterioration already displaced up to 10 million people a year, and the situation would get worse.

"There are well-founded fears that the number of people fleeing untenable environmental conditions may grow exponentially as the world experiences the effects of climate change," Dr Bogardi said. "This new category of refugee needs to find a place in international agreements. We need to better anticipate support requirements, similar to those of people fleeing other unviable situations."


Fortunately, these experts, and other climate experts like them, were off by over 48 million people. They based their estimates on the 'hard science' of AGW models derived by the experts in 2000-2005. Not one of these models has correctly predicted global temperatures.

Even if the global temps do rise 1-3C over the next century, historians of weather science point out that life has thrived in higher global temperatures as opposed to lower temperatures. This simple fact is undisputed by all the experts. The rest is hysteria.

We get that tomorrow. Don't know if we get the snow, but for now it's a rainy 45 on its way up to 60. If it makes you feel better, the other day we got a dusting that was enough to make me turn on my wipers. I almost pulled out the ice scraper in a mitten thing, but it just didn't seem worth it.

It snowed about 6 inches last night and is continuing strong as I type. Anchorage International Airport (official reporting station) has received about 82 inches of snow so far this winter.

I don't know how you deal with it. Last year we had record breaking snow amounts here and it just seemed like winter went on and on and on. I hated it.

So far this winter....until last night...grrrrrr....we have had temps about 35-52 and no snow. I love the change of seasons but would much rather live somewhere with consistently mild winters. So where is that?

Winter and cold temps kill off the bugs. do you really want to live around bugs that grow year round and can eat your dog?

as an added bonus, it also keeps the homeless population down.
