Did I miss something?
Where are the data?
Everything I read sounds like “what ifs”.

Yes, odd as it sounds that is correct. It’s the “magic” dilation diameter when the doctors clear the room of all nonessential visitors and the kid is on the way out. I witnessed it 3 times, my 2 daughters and recently my grandson.

Dang, you sound like some kinda expert. When the water breaks, do you head for higher ground?

Can I be doomed with pizza?

For a limited time - as far as I know. (Don't be surprised if it's a bit soggy.)

Might ask why they're short-loading cargoes on the Great Lakes because of low water levels. Shouldn't the St. Lawrence be running backwards by now ?

Why is there no mention of the feet or inches the tide has risen? Beach erosion is another matter....it can happen with a strong thunder storm.

My dock shows no evidence of higher than normal tides. I need to see some proof.

“...10 cm is the width of a fist or the birth canal...”

There’s something very unsettling (and potentially very funny) about linking fist, birth canal and Australia in the same sentence...

When someone writes as dumb an article as this writer did, the only appropriate response is ridicule.
