"It's Cold Out There, Woodchuck-Chuckers!"




Global warming continues to wreak havoc with weather around the world. Flinty Flint Michiganers are hunkering down. Flint just broke a 95 year old record for heat. No, make that cold. And, change global warming to climate change.

Meanwhile, over in Madison Wisconsin, civic officials are drafting draconian measures to deal with the global warming planet-is-on-fire emergency -- measures which include plans for food shortages, a fuel-less USA, etc. I think Madison is also the marijuana capital of the USA, but I could be wrong on that.

At any rate, I suggest they take the plans and use them for fuel.

And that's the way the luxuriating in Phoenix, AZ (where it's warm) Ball bounces.

PS. Our Air Canada jet was unable to take off from Toronto yesterday morning -- it was frozen. The water lines in the jet were frozen, and, when these were investigated, they discovered the extreme cold had caused a fuel line leakage. Our 9:15 am. flight left for sunny Phoenix 5 1/2 hours after scheduled departure. But we did arrive safely. For which we are thankful.

You are more fortunate than some folks in New York who ended up in the river.

Glad you made it safely.

You can crank up your schadenfreude (not sure of spelling). It's -23C in PEI on Jan. 16.

I never complain about flight delays. My reasoning is, I would always rather be safe on the ground than at risk up in the air.

Airlines can take as long as they need to get me "there" safely.

Thank God for western science, technology, standards, and the value placed on human life -- all offspring of our Judeo-Christian heritage.
