I'm with my northern brothers on this one. "Global warming is a myth" come north and see for yourself. For the guys in the south do you want to trade? In a few weeks there should be all kinds of waterfront property up here in Manitoba and North Dakota. Cheap too.

Damn Global Warming!

I'm going out and throwing a couple tires on the fire to help. I'd leave my trucks idle for an hour to help but at $3½+ a gallon that'd be kind of expensive, used tires are cheap and they smell so nice when burning and you can roast marsh mellows over them.

Just another morning of single digits to me. I would say at this rate, the snow will melt sometime in June..... maybe July.

Are there any members who don't know what this is? (Please, those that do need not reply)



If you don't know what it is and what it is used for please post your location and average real estate prices for a two bedroom house with a storage building that can hold four vintage vehicles. I want to be your neighbor.
