I always thought I lived in the South. During and before the War Between the States, Arkansas was a southern state. When my dad was a kid, he grew cotton and tobacco on our farm in Arkansas, generally considered commodities grown in the south. When I was a kid, it was HOT in the summers where we lived in Arkansas. Now I find that Arkansas is in the Mid-West and it is no longer very hot here. The winters are cold as the devil and yet we have global warming. What is going on? Speaking of global warming, I lived in Alaska for 16 years, a place that could stand some warming, and it seems that centuries ago, Alaska was sub-tropical, which explains all that oil. When the Vikings migrated to Greenland, the grew grapes and other things that require a warm climate. There are even maps of Antarctica made before it was covered in ice. So maybe this global warming is just a return to normal? Maybe we're still just thawing out after the last ice age. After all, all those melting glaciers were formed during the ice age, a condition that wasn't really normal. Also, the more things heat up, the more water will evaporate and the more rain we'll get, so maybe global warming is the worlds fix for all the desert areas that have been created in the past few centuries.
Speaking of desert, I've got my tux all spiffed up and packed and I'm ready to head for Virginia Beach to the Eppie Awards. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe I'll come home with a trophy. Steve
