I have seen no credible evidence of any weather manipulation unless you're talking about the historically high amounts of carbon (and methane) in the atmosphere. The only solution to that is to reduce the amount of those elements we are putting up there. Methane is really bad, but it does dissipate over a decade or two. The carbon is a whole 'nuther kettle of fish.

Good morning Nor-Cal. It is going to be HOT in my neck of the woods today. They say 102° the good thing is the RH will be low may 13%, it's still hot no matter how you look at it.

If we could selectively manipulate weather, that would end drought. I could have 55 degrees Fahrenheit all year .

And I could have 75° all summer, a couple feet of snow and 19° in the winter. Life would be good.

By the way, here in my local area of Washington we pay more for fuel then you California guys, $4.27 for Regular and $4.88 for Diesel.

I can guarantee I didn't vote for the governor we have... I voted for the other color. There are just too many people on the West side of the state that seem to be color blind and vote for the wrong color.

Your pork roast looks great!

Wow. I never thought any state would beat California in gas prices. Yesterday I bought gas at the cheapest place in Fresno for $3.86 a gallon.
Checked join requests, none found. Still no posts from the new members.

Yeah ........ You would think that the Armstrong & Getty audience could come up with just 1 person, to take 1 small office, somewhere....... That would be a start. Maybe school board in a township. Then work your way up. Nope. Whereas in other parties, bartenders are elected to Congress.

The idea is to be able to put it into ramen. Recycling. Less waste. Poor Man way of thinking.

Gas prices are too high. Then again, so are food prices. Pretty much everything. I watch a lot of YouTube videos of people who buy vehicles that have been sitting for years, then try to get them running. It amazes me how much people pay for vehicles that have been sitting for decades. Not too mention the prices of parts. $800 for an aluminum intake manifold for a 300ci six. That person chose to swap in a 302 V8 instead.
