Only the Vax (and ALL the boosters) can save them.

I’d like to see another grand canyon.

Pretty much what scoured out the. Columbia River basin. Took much of what is now the scablands in eastern Washington and moved it down the Columbia River, into the ocean and the Willamette River drainage. That was from the Ice Age ice sheet, though.

We need to take this super cereal. This kind of devastation was documented by the destruction of the town of Beaverton in the documentary “two days before the day after tomorrow”

Also, just thinking about glaciers can cause Myocarditis.

More gloom and doom from the terribly aware crowd.

Simple; ban dihydrogen monoxide.

It's a big killer as a liquid, solid or gas.

How’s the fishing?

Gee, it sounds like the current interglacial is still in recovery for the last glacial maximum of the current ice age.

Fear porn is the new order. Women. And wussy men.

I remember one hunting season when I got soaked with that stuff. Uncontrollable shivers. I’m with you...ban it!

[Palio di Siena]

Surf’s up.

[Deaf Smith]

There is MSD sheet for dihydrogen monoxide.

Signal Word is Caution.

Hazardous stuff.

Oh this is a great tingling feeling in the leg of Bill Gates.

Coldest ever in the USA, -108 F Wind chill on Mt Washington last Friday. Any mention of that in the article? In 300 years we will all be dead!

[ThePatriotsFlag]

FAKE NEWS!

[DIRTYSECRET]

What’s a million Chinese?

The geologic history of my scout camp (Wolfeboro — Stanislaus River CA) is just such an event. The glaciers were from the ice age and they retreated making a lake and then the dam broke and the lake became a sand flat and later a logepole pine forest and finally a tall pine forest and an ideal Scout summer camp. I loved that experience and part of the camp nature was to educate us as to this history. Good for the Scouts BSA.
