Global Warming and rain



I wouldn't say that we have had some rain, but all the critters are lining up two by two in front of my fishing boat and I just saw Jonah come floating by on a whale...water water everywhere, and perhaps some for Georgia to drink.

COLE CITY HOLLOW, Tennessee - Nearly two centuries after a flawed survey placed Georgia's northern line just short of the Tennessee River, some legislators are suddenly thirsting to set the record straight.

A historic drought has added urgency to Georgia's generations-old claim that its territory ought to extend about a mile farther north than it does and reach into the Tennessee — a river with about 15 times greater flow than the one Atlanta depends on for its water.


As Granny would say, "Hold on there, varmint, help's on the way."

And Ellie Mae wouldn't have to say anything...just be Ellie Mae.

But I digress...

The good folks over at Global Warming provides us with a video highlighting the energy usage of Pope Algore and his wealthier minions.

Nothing new there, but the video also makes the point energy is needed in the undeveloped world. In one snapshot it shows a single pole mounted lamp being turned on to the cheers of the villagers.

Technology, dear hearts, marches on, or it stops. The nay sayers and world doomers apparently don't give a damn about the "little people." Like the elitist they are, they have a God given right...as the kings and nobles of old...to have all the energy they want while the rest of us can "eat cake." They have technology enough.

In the meantime, think of what might have been had we pursued nuclear power, clean coal... We might be generating enough electrical power to charge the batteries of the electric cars we would be driving.

Think about that when you pay $45.00 for that fill up and see that $400. utility bill....

Later chums.
