Why in my day we 23 feet of snow, and that was in July!
For Christmas, I received a geology textbook that my great-grandmother used in high school. Even as a professional scientist, I found it was a mildly challenging read in places. I realized that not a single public school high school student I know (I substitute taught locally when they needed help) could understand that book. It's no wonder we have such ridiculous views on science these days.
My elder liberal sister was sitting at the Christmas Eve dinner table spouting off aboot the weather,and even admitted they saw the Al Gore infomercial....I was laffin at her....then came the punchline,the people on her block in Chanhassen decided that this coming summer they would have 1 'community' lawnmower between 6-7 houses,this was to do their part in lowering 'greenhouse gases'....when confronted by the question 'what is the difference if it is 1 lawnmower mowing 7 lawns or 7 mowing 7?' well,the answer was 'they won't be getting mowed all at the same time' ...at that point I had to open another bottle of wine.
