During our 7/2008 visit, Kaitlyn and I go out on a pirate ship. Kaitlyn was scared of the “bad” pirate but Mom-Mom saved the day. We also went to the fabulous Delaware State Fair only we ended up calling 911 for a Kaitlyn in physical distress. Kaitlyn and I saw the movie “Space Chimps” and it was fun, it was neat, it was just the ticket for a hot summer day.

First—the cold, reinforced by drought, then wind and more wind. Rain, more cold, and some more wind from a different direction! It sort of felt like maybe we were actually in Auntie Em’s house, spinning round and round, being pelted by rain and buffeted by wind coming from every direction and wondering what in the world was going to happen to us. What few plants survived the frost, and didn’t succumb to the drought, gave up in the face of an extremely long and miserable nor’easter....

On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century’s modest warming?...“Since you are calling for various changes in legislation, which means you are getting the government involved, and...

The soft, new greens of spring have been replaced by the harder greens of maturing leaves. Crepe myrtles and gardenias and hydrangeas are showing off their colors.

But be careful what you plant; a garden could raise your food costs.

Fifty Democrats were joined by a half-dozen Republican senators in the 56 to 42 vote against the measure. “Preserving the frigid sterility of this wilderness must take precedence over a scheme to feed Americans’ gluttony for energy,” asserted Debbie Dullerd of the Alaska Wilderness League. She characterized the need for fuel as “temporary.” “The human species won’t last forever,” Dullerd declared. “It makes no sense to place its interests ahead of the rest of the planet.” “If...

Now it has developed that similar frog appearances have been taking place in Bakersfield,California for about two weeks, and nobody is sure why. Strange swarms of frogs also appeared before the 6.9 Loma Prieta Earthquake in October of 1989.
