Damn, I can't wait for winter.
I haven't got any heat tolerance whatsoever. In fact, last “winter” here in Philadelphia, the coldest it ever got, I'd walk home with just a heavy sports coat, maybe a scarf, and that was it. I strongly suspect that huge clouds of steam were billowing off behind me (the walk home is to the south west).
I fully expect to be wearing linen most of the winter this year.
If someone could convince me that global warming wasn't the biggest fraud of all times, I'd be marching around, checking out your garbage for recyclables.

I just put fresh green beans in the freezer. Have to get a large tank of propane. We are far behind other preppers, but better than nothing and we could survive. Don’t know what’s coming, but Mr sneakers is finally on board with me on the prepping thing. Even he is getting nervous.
Just got a bunch of bacon flavored SPAM at Big Lots. Wow! It’s good! We’re going back for more. I highly recommend it.

Are you not paying attention? Or were you lying when you said you'd post your whole blog here if only you could?
I (along with another helpful FReeper) told you how to do it easily, and I showed you on your last attempted posting here. (Too bad about that one. Are you still using material from InfoWars? That stuff will get you the Zot in a hurry around here you know.)
Well, just so folks don't go wasting time on a side trip, I've copied just a couple of paragraphs from your blog, so they can get a taste of the wonderful prose they're missing:
"Let me asking you another question, growing up, what toy did you treat with the most respect?
Was it the one that you bought with your own money?
Or was the one your parents bought you?
You see we are now seeing a growing epidemic of young people who grow up expecting everything handed to them on a silver platter. Their food, their clothes, their cell phone. They work for nothing!
Here is another example, their educations. As you can see from the cartoon on the right, in the past when you brought home bad grades, well that was your own fault.
Now it is the fault of the teachers because we feel the need to "protect" our children from anyone who would tell them that they aren't good enough. The expectation is that we are all special and we should get things handed to us!
We have been conditioned to it! Our Government does it everyday. Welfare, TANIF, MEDICAID, HUD... all of it... handouts. You don't even have make an attempt to work to get these things... walk in... sign on the dotted line and boom goes the dynamite... your dependent on them for everything!
We as a society are no longer teaching our children to own up to their lives and mistakes.
That is crap.
The issue we are seeing is that when we do what we see in the cartoon above it isn't doing anyone any good."
Well, in your defense, if I wrote prose like that, I wouldn't want anyone to see it either. If that's why you're excerpting, then I guess I understand.
Just for starters, a phrase like
"That is crap." while it does contain a subject, verb and object, could hardly be called a well thought out sentence, much less a paragraph. You follow that gem with this one.
"Or was the one your parents bought you?" That is neither a sentence or a paragraph. Then there's the issue of "you're" versus "your." Do yourself a favor and look it up.
I guess English Composition wasn't such a big deal at Mead Senior High School, was it? Well, as they say, the Devil is in the details.

“When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter. “
