Yeah I understand - Climate Change


In the past 5 days I have spent over 16 hours shoveling snow. This winter has provided this area of Virginia the most snow in recorded history for a winter season.

Simultaneously, the paper no longer refers to it as "Global Warming". It is now climate change. Do I believe the climate is changing. Yes. Am I the cause. No! I'm sure there are lots of reasons for the climate change. If you put 60 people in a room, the room will get warmer. If you add a billion people to the population it probably will cause a change. The weight alone might change the orbit. And don't get me started on the hot air from capitol hill.

It isn't really cold, there's just lots of snow. For the first time in a week, a plow actually came through the neighborhood and, he did a nice job. Free coffee, Cheetos and a cold coke for the truck drive, and my thanks. He didn't plow it into my driveway. What a guy.

I started planning my next scuba trip. Back to Bahamas on Blackbeard's . Right now I can buy round trip airplane tickets to Nassau Bahamas for $285. Add that to the fact that I'm diving with Greg Justice and his GMU bunch, and it only gets better. Note to self, remember to take some bourbon, I'm not wild about rum, but the Red Stripe is always good at the end of the day.
