Cabin Fever Update...

Today, April 23, 2015, I played 18 holes of golf at my local municipal golf course here in Connecticut. It was quite chilly at tee time, with the ambient air temp at 46 degrees, and a stiff northwest wind at around 15 MPH. Upon my arrival at the landing spot of my second shot on the par five, fifth hole, it began to snow hard enough to obscure the pin on the green laying 106 yards in the distance.

I turned to my playing partner and asked him if he had heard anything about snow in the forecast. His reply was; "If I had, I sure as hell would not be out here now. Global warming my ass."

Global man-made climate change, my ass. Carbon dioxide tax, my ass. I hope Al Gore has caught the evening news about the current eruption of the volcano in Chile. That Little Earth Burp just put enough carbon dioxide into the upper atmosphere to negate anything mankind could do for 20 friggin years. By the way, there's no fracking within half a hemisphere of that volcano.

In the 1970's the same earth first people were predicting a new ice age by 2000. I think they were more prescient than the current set of hysterical wackos after what I played through today. How about using some common sense, and not pollute, litter, or cause purposeful harm to the environment. Instead of hamstringing the world population with unrealistic expectations and legislation. This planet of ours will be here for a long time after we are all dust. It's been through much worse than humans could ever imagine, or hope to effect. Ask the thunder lizards. Keep your eye on Yellowstone, THAT, is a very big volcano...

Do the right thing.
