Mr. JC, why so many kid's Bibles? lol I'm gonna send you a big-boy Bible. Name your version/translation preference: KJV, NIV, NRSV, NASB, etc.

So then that means... we'll actually be better off with global warming to help balance out the cold sun. At least we've been doing something right

It's cold here.

36F with a high of 45F. Avg high is 66F.

We had a mild winter. Bet we have a mild summer too.

36 is mild? lol while I love the cold, the coldest it gets in FL is 40 and even then, the thick boots, scarves, peacoats, gloves, etc. all come out.

And no donuts?

I will be curious to hear what the so called experts have to say about carbon footprint since no one has been doing much driving around the world for a month or more?

Went to Nissan stealership yetserday to order a few fasteners. As I was closing the door on the gf;s ford focus, I realized I left the keys inside....DOH!! Locked out. Asked the service guy if they had tools to open my door (didnt want to wait for my roadside assistance). Yep, they did. The tech comes out, fumbling with opening the door. He manages to unlock the lock, but instead of removing the door wedge out, then opening the door, he keeps it wedged and pulls the door handle...UGH.. he breaks the little plastic clip that manipulates the door mechanism. Then another tech comes out and helps and they had to go to the passenger side to unlock it.
Took them almost an hour. The first tech knows he broke the handle, and as he walks away, he looks back looking a little freaked out because he broke my sht. lol
Nah dude, Im not gonna file a complaint. That door handle was a pain to pull open and I was planning on replacing it anyway. lol

We build sand angels and sandmans in FL

a plus for them is that they don't melt

oh and we have sand ball fights, though this tends to lead to actual fist fights

lol I bet EW wouldn't. I was kidding earlier. 48 ain't even cold lol ... that's still shorts weather.

It is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous again today. High in the mid-60s

I was in -10 degree weather in Missouri one winter. One saturday was nice and sunny. Washed my car in shorts, a tshirt and flip flops. It was 30 degrees but felt like a heatwave...lol

How many manufacturers shut down, too?

I guarantee whatever the impact, the green freaks will deny it or downplay it tremendously

Let's see where to start. The canal waters in Venice, Italy are clear from lack of boat traffic, the peaks of the Himalayas can be seen in India for the first time in over a few decades due to less air pollution, the entire Earth's vibrations are significantly less due to COVID-19 lockdowns, the pollution map of Earth is way down compared to even just a year ago....

This is, of course, what the media tells us anyway, so do take with a grain of salt

Yup! Without a situation like this that kind of action would never be possible.
