   Having lived most of my life in a cold climate, when I worked in northern california, with 6 months of good weather and a month or so of 100s and 2 or 3 months of 90s, it seemed like a treat. Go 100 miles south and hit palm trees and citrus.

   We are getting days of hot, muggy weather, sticky nights, and the last couple of days, rain in the afternoon. At least no drought like the last couple of summers here in Kentucky…
   But there are a lot of people like R.J.; When it’s hot, they wish it was cooler, and when it’s cold, they wish it was warmer…

   I can dress for cold weather, there’s only so much I can take off and still be socially acceptable in hot weather.

   I’ve often said, “Life’s too short to be miserable” (as in sweltering in the mid-summer’s heat). Thank GOD for air conditioning…eh?

   I do feel great sympathy for those suffering in the American southwest with the almost unprecedented heat of the last couple of weeks…
   I just don’t totally buy in to th’ whole “climate change” theory (i.e., that it is the fault of Man …). Certain areas of our globe are clearly experiencing unpredictable an’ sometimes severe weather patterns…but there is geological evidence to the effect that all this has happened before – many times, in fact – an’ without the industrial ‘contamination’ by Man.
   IMHO, the jury is still out on the actual degree (if any) to which Man an’ civilization have contributed to (or caused) any change in our planet’s current weather patterns. After all, Earth’s age is something like 4.54 Billion years…Man’s industrial age has existed less than 200 years…do that math – if your calculator has enough zeros…
   Our planet is very old indeed, and in terms of its overall age, humans have been here for an infinitesimal blip of time – an’ we’ve been polluting for far less time than that.
   Given our legendary self-destructive nature, Humans may turn out to be caretakers of this “beautiful blue marble” for a relatively short time, an’ it could be the height of arrogant hubris to presume that our ‘footprint’ has made an impression of such devastating consequence as some would say that we have.
   I concede that Man – especially for the past two centuries or so – has done little to preserve our world in contrast to the damage done. But the earth today probably wouldn’t be capable of sustaining life at all if the damage done by Man were as ruinous and catastrophic as some scientists suggest it is…
   The earth’s temperature has not run amok during Man’s stewardship of Mother Earth. It ebbs an’ flows with the same cycles it has followed for millennia … an’ if homo sapiens were not one of Earth’s many species, it would still do so…
   The oceans may have risen slightly, but that too is part of the natural cycles of Earth.
   Man has tried to conquer and control everything in his world since he first lifted a stick against one of his own kind (see opening scenes of “2001 A Space Odyssey”)…Man wants to conquer the heavens an’ control the weather…and with enough effort an’ patience, he may well do both…I trust in the capacity of the Earth to heal itself, and with Man’s help, that healing process may be accelerated. We should do all that we can to curb an’ reverse our damaging effects on our world – but we don’t need to presume that Man is Earth’s worst enemy, even if Man has proven to be his own worst enemy…

    Agreed. Global warming is happpening. How much man is responsible is debatable. Nuff said.

    Too close to the flat screen. You notice how much heat they put out?? Hammy should be cooling RJ’s feet and his butt. Then he might have a quantum of solace.

    @J.Ed Baker

    ever try a kilt and a thin sport shirt?

    @charliedawg

    I suggest camo boxers under the kilt. That way, when the wind blows, there’d be “nothing” to see. LOL!

    I’ve learned never to complain about heat. Even at natural extremes, it’s still more comfortable for me than cold.
    Say, balancing a TV at the end of a hammock must take practice.
