Al Gore will finally be coorrect
Usually I’ve had my third fuel oil fill by now — so far I’ve had one for the entire winter.
And the price was lower, thanks to the glut.
I’ve begun to worry about the nice people (local business) who deliver the oil.
Elect Republicans, and the arctic will become a verdant tropical rain forest.
The mean North Poll winter temperature is -40F not -20F.
