Globalony

I held out as long as I could but I can resist no longer in making another weather-related post. I left the L.V. in May and returned in March with a brief visit to July when I was in Texas. However, this weather is affecting the entire Northeast. The AP reported that this is the third coldest May on record for Boston - average temperature is 58 degrees but this year it's 51. Third coldest! A few years ago I remember seeing some hoopla about global warming because some place had experienced the second or third warmest year on record. What I think is happening is that more and more people are moving to warmer climate areas and justifying their globalony warming ideas by saying "it wasn't this warm when I was a kid" forgetting to mention that they used to live in Duluth or Erie. One thing I remember is that when I was a kid we didn't have springs this miserable. Yes, we had rainy springs but not so that we needed the heat on three days before Memorial Day weekend and I don't recall a series of two or three in a five year (2003, 2005, and 2000 was more of a dud summer than dud spring) period that have been duds like this.
