Yes, go with real estate. Only in Hawaii are they making new land, but it won't be on the market for a long time.

Didn't I read many moons ago that there was a new island that popped up off the coast of Iceland?

Yes, but I was referring to land being made in the U.S.

I think Malaysia and Indonesia are also in the real estate business, but those islands often blow themselves up soon after being born.

Did you see the program that talked about the major volcano that blew in like 535 A.D. in ?Indonesia and the resultant decrease in sunlight reaching Earth (volcano winter) for ten years changed the course of history?

I did not see it but it sound like something I would enjoy. What channel? Maybe I can catch a re-run.

Hey, I live in Alaska and we're having the coldest winter in 10 years now. I don't want it to get any colder!

[patriciaruth]

Probably Discovery Science channel, but I'm not sure. Can't remember the name of the volcano that blew up back then with more force than Krakatoa, kind of like the immense Yellowstone caldera volcano in prehistory. It was a very interesting show.

First it's global warming, now global cooling - I wish they'd make up their minds.

You could go skiing in the hill country. A shorter drive than to Colorado or New Mexico. However the houses and water systems in south Texas are not built for winters similar to what Buffalo or Syracuse New York get! Lots of broken plumbing!

lyinAlGore is always wrong!!!

You guys just don't get it. When water freezes, it gives off heat. The more ice, the more heat. So the colder it gets, the warmer it gets. Therefore we are going to freeze our butts off because it is going to be so warm that we will be walking around in our shorts.

Hey Cogitator, Where Are Yoooouuuuu?

I've been out sick for a few days. I had a bad cold; which I could tell because I didn't have a fever.

Interesting how important our thermal equilibrium is to our health, isn't it?

"Wow! Considering I live on the Texas gulf coast, this is really good news."

Darn ... since I live between Waco and Austin, I was hoping to get some ocean-front property.

All I can say is, let it snow, let it snow.

Would be sure sweet to have much more snow, particulary every year during christmas back here in Maryland!
