[Viking2002]

I'LL TAKE IT! You can add the color brown to us here in Alabama. No vivid foliage. No rain. No cool, quiet, foggy evenings. Just the time-lapse imagery of the flora whithering to a husk. The heat has mercifully been making a slow exit after three months of toxic, stagnant temps in the 90's and 100's; even so, it's still several degrees above normal. If long-term climatological models indicate cyclical global patterns, then it's time to beat a retreat for the West Virginia mountains. I refuse to die in this bug-infested circle of Dante's Hell.

[Alas Babylon!]

If that happens, well, I tell you what, neighbor, I might leapfrog you all the way up to lower Canada!
