Chris Van Allsburg book. Excellent Chris Van Allsburg book. Not mediocre-at-best Robin Williams movie.
Hate the idea of more mosquitos, but I'll still take this kind of winter. We'll see if I change my mind around fall though.

"So while people around the world are celebrating the light winter, which has seen temperatures drop in nearly every state in the U.S., the animal world isn't quite as happy." Except Eastern and Central Europe, which experienced record cold in the new year. Temperatures in the -30s killed dozens if not hundreds of people in the Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, etc.
Fixed. This non-winter royally sucked. ****ing insects never left. My cats got fleas. In January. That's wrong on more levels than I can count. The next eight months of bugs, boiling temperatures, brown dry grass, and allergy-inducing polluted air is going to be even worse than usual. Not to mention tornadoes, which have also already started.
This past winter here in Michigan, it's been nothing but on-and-off snow, in that we'll get a good-size dusting, and it'll warm up enough to melt most of it. If winters in my area are going to be like this in the age of global warming, I guess I can live with it.
You realise we're going to burn, right? You see that that is our fate? If we don't get rain, we're in major trouble.
In Silly-con valley, we've had a grand total of 16 days with rain. Since August. Normally we have that by December, but this is now mid-March. What can we look forward to? Hotter summer, more wild animals looking for something to drink, and nasty nasty wildfires in the hills. Oakland and Berkeley are going to be fun... Glad I didn't end up on that property just outside Milpitas...
