A new study by scientists has suggested that zombie attacks might increase if the current projections of global warming are realized. “If the earth gets warmer, it means longer springs, summers, and falls, and shorter winters,” said John Carpenter-Romero, Ph.D., a zombie-ologist who co-authored the study. “And shorter winters means more time for the undead to prey on the populace.”
Dr. Harrister, the other co-author, and head of Zombie Robotics at Wayward Robot, Inc., explained that cold winters typically stalled the walking dead. “It is well known that zombies can’t operate in cold weather. It freezes their brains.”
The pair calculated a 32.782412% increase in zombie attacks if CO2 increased to twice its pre-industrial rate. “Clearly, this is a very troubling result,” said Dr. Harrister, “If we don’t do something soon, the streets will be filled with blood.”

Kids don’t fly kites, here. Some husbands will, if told to do so....

No, our primary is in May. I’m doing school and Scout stuff, and getting organized for Lent.
Temp’s over 60 already. I hope I can run later!

Ours is in November.
I did all my running yesterday, and will stay in where it’s warm, today. I really want to go back to bed...but it will have to wait. *sigh*

Almost 70 here. It finally stopped raining so I took a trip to the grocery store. Nowhere to run around here, although I could use it.

In the mere 50’s here out in the cow patties. Of course to get to the 50’s I had to ride through the 40s in Carbon Canyon. Nice ride though. Good thing I took time to vote this morning so it could warm up a little before the ride.

Good morning!
Today is Girl Scout cookie pickup, followed by a lot of other Scoutly work that I didn’t get done yesterday. I’ll be seeing you all around, eventually!
Weird night - the snake was trying to break out of her cage. I had to put a book on top of the screen!

Has James Carville even written a book?

I remember a movie named “SSSSSSSSSS”, but I don’t know if it was a book.

“SSSSSSSSSS”? Did the snake get out of the cage again?

I don’t know about Tax-chick’s snake...but at least one snake has apparently slithered his way close to a presidential nomination.

LOL!
Our snake is sneakier than we thought, but she wasn’t able to lift the top off the cage after I put a heavy book on it.
