Hey, I'm hoping it stays cold enough to freeze the polar ice cap far beyond its past boundries, just to prove to the duped how insane Al Gore really is. Notice how much cooler it is since the solar flares have died down?

It is the absolute height of hubris for puny man to think he can influence the weather on earth more than the sun does. What fools they are!

Other than that, I really don't have much of an opinion on the "global warming" religion.:coffee:

Boy, you really have to hand it to that Obama fella. He makes one trip to Copenhagen & that whole global warming problem is all cleared up. Large portions of the country are now having the coldest winter they've seen in 60 years. Once again, the messiah has saved us.[smilie=w:

OK, we can serve the Kool-aid now...:mrgreen:

Global Warming is firmly latched to Al Gore's coattails. It follows him everywhere, and never leaves him. That is why he sees it everywhere he goes...and points it out to all who will listen.

Unforunately, Al is only human and can't be in more than one place at a time (hard to believe, huh?) so wherever he ain't...Gobal Warming also isn't.
If you need some, invite Al to visit...and be ready to pay for it.

Maybe your neighbors voted for change.:kidding:

It was a balmy 20 degrees here today so I went shooting.
No sense in letting good weather go to waste.

Still waiting on crop damage. Strawberries, tomatoes, corn, several other crops besides oranges are going to get hit. I am right on the gulf and only about 100 miles from as south as you can go and it supposed to be 28 at 8A.M. It's going to ba a cold day in the dealership garage tomorrow. A few schools are closed tomorrow because of the strain on the power grid. Our houses are set up for AC efficiency not heat. It sucks right now, but we are supposed to be back at 70 by friday. I'm hopin'

My wife and I drove down to LaJolla today for a classic car show and the temp was a balmy 75 degrees. LaJolla is 0n the coast a few miles north of San Diego. It was a lovely day and we saw many fantastic vintage cars but boy was it crowded. It was very nice to set on the quay wall and watch the big waves crash into the rocks. It was also nice to get away from the crowd. When we got home at 4 pm it was 65 degrees. Southern California has the best climate in the world but it is getting more difficult to find a place to shoot.

I remember the great blizzard, the Christmas of '88 in N.E Florida. I have never seen so many accidents and cars push off the road. My wife was trapped in Jacksonville because they had closed the bridges due to snow. It was a mess.

That was the year that I declared that white sand beaches was all the White Christmas I wanted. Now we have had snow in Central Florida to boot. Ba Humbug Global warming! If this keeps up I might have to move to Miami :)

A bright note on the cold for us southerners, it may thin out the fire ants some.

Don't count on it. I understand they can actually live where Bullshop lives. Reckon he would want to trade some for a bottle of BullPlate:bigsmyl2:

I don't beleive those fire ants are affected at all. They just dig a little deeper and wait it out.

It used to be that fireants would not go north of the Red River. They have adapted and now reside in Oklahoma too. Eventually, only fireants will exist in the ant world at this rate.

The only thing that really hurts firants is wetlands. They have to be able to go deep enough to get below the frost line and cannot do that in swampy areas

It has been cold here I had three cords of wood for the winter normally use two, here it is January and April is two and a half months away and I am running short on wood. So I went to the brush dump and nothing but Christmas trees. I was about to leave when there were two TORO hauls a lot coming through the gate (look like a ATV with a bed) they were loaded with six to eight inch elm branches already cut, they dumped them right behind my PU and said we will be back. They were trimming the elm trees in the large park across the street. They returned about the time I had the first loaded and I almost didn't get it on my old Ford. Went home and stacked it 75% was cut the right length, by my measurements I got one and a half cords, the old Ford was looking skyward it was squatted so much. Looking forward to "Global Warming" hope it hurry s up.
O by the way we now have "Fire Ants" thanks for sharing.

Winter has been pretty rough on my wood pile too, this year.
Oh by the way Gobal Warming is out Seems they were not able to prove it, so they are calling it "Climate Change" FYI
Gotta keep all the "green guys" happy.

If it were not for elm trees I would have to do something I have never done, buy fire wood!

Colder than Bullshops house? I dont think so!!! We just got a brandly new -100 F thermometer and this morning it was only being half used. What a waste.
I guess when cold weather comes we will see if it works.
Colder than Bullshops house, HA!!!!!

One very, very good thing about having fire ants: They killed out most of the ground hornets here in the mid-to-late '80s, and I'd rather have fire ants any day. Another observation, haven't had fireants ruining the pressure switch in the wellhouse in many years, used to be a weekly occurance until we started using grease barriers, but at some point they just stopped going for the juice. Guess Mr. Darwin was right.

BTW, we had a low of eight degrees early Saturday morning here in the Hill Country, coldest it's ever been here in my lifetime. But it was PC and 55 this afternoon so it's all ok.
