HELP! NEED GLOBAL WARMING! (vanity)

I just moved to Oklahoma City from Houston. It's 5 degrees outside. I lived in Houston for more than a decade. The coldest it got where I lived was about 20. Maybe. For a couple of hours. FIVE. DEGREES.

I didn't turn my pipes on to drip and am now trying to get some water out before it develops into a major disaster. Yeah, I've lived in a warm climate so long that I kind of forgot about winterization. The heater in my car, for instance, quit working. I needed antifreeze. I just changed the oil in my car to something lighter than I had in Houston.

My wife grew up in Montana. She told me I was a wimp. Last night she rolled over and said something about the water bill with all the dripping. I said, "What dripping?" She proceeded to cuss me out and call me all kinds of fool. Hey, I've been living on the Gulf Coast for a while, so lay off.

I'm going to sue the SOBs at the UN and Al Freaking Gore for their failure to deliver on global warming. I would accurately express the fury I feel about this ridiculous temperature, but the thread would get pulled for language.

I point out that I grew up in Northeast Oklahoma (Green Country). I NEVER remember it EVER getting down to 5. FIVE.

WHAT DO WE WANT!

GLOBAL WARMING!

WHEN DO WE WANT IT!

YESTERDAY!

Global warming. What a joke.

I’m looking at the bright side. It’s all the way up to -9 now in the heat of the day.

Hope you warmed up!

On Groudhog Day 1996, we set the all time record for Minnesota with -60 about an hour north of me. If you threw a cup of coffee into the air it would freeze in mid air and fall to the ground as ice crystals. We drove nails into a board using a frozen banana and made the national news.

Winter is just a fact of life for both of us, I guess.

Did all your Freon evaporate and go up to the ozone layer?

Anyhow, that was darn cold.

Freon turns to liquid at -20 and it is heavy like propane.

It is -60 at 30,000 feet, so I am just wondering how it can get up to the level of the ozone to destroy it.

Can’t find an answer to that.

Neither can I. I didn’t know what you just told me though, so you’re already miles ahead of me!

It must be like “Global Warming”.

Facts don’t get in the way of asserting power.

the winter of 76-77 were bloody cold. I remember them closing my Catholic school the entire month because they had no heat.
