I seriously doubt any children were traumatized by seeing Janet
Jackson's semi-bare breast at the Super Bowl.

You don't know my mother. :)

I seriously doubt it also, but the problem is allowing it to happen. We
are like little children. If one sees it happen then another will say,
well they got away with it so why not us try something even more
obnoxous, like maybe moon the crowd at the Rose bowl, thinking everybody
will just chuckle and look the other way. Silly, but this kind of stuff
can get way out of hand. If you allow one small thing by then
eventually we'll have sex acts being performed on prime time, local TV
because sex sells and makes big money. This type of thing cannot be
allowed. If you or I want to watch it then go to the local rental shop
or buy a subscription to pay per view. Last time I checked we were
still a civilized society.

Do you remember back in the mid 1930's? I don't, but the wx extremes
was about as extreme as it can get.

My house was built in 1920. Would cost a considerable amount for whole
house a/c; involve whole new system. Have one room w/ window a/c in the
summer. Car has a/c.

But... you're missing a big point: I want to go *outside* in the summer &
enjoy the outdoors. Difficult to do that when sweating bullets.

Do you think you should buy Al Gore's book?

It was 40 here today. We have snow on the ground, but not much and 40
is warm for Jan. Above normal temps, however it is not the first time
it's been like this in Jan. Weather story is all about cycles, perhaps
the sunspots have something to do with it, it is at near minimum. We
humans are pretty smart, but we don't know everything. For some reason
I cannot get warmed up about global warming just because Gore is
promoting it. I think we need a lot more time and data before drawing
any firm conclusion. Maybe another 50 to 100 years just because of
better data collection and improved science. Somewhere in 2200 we may
start to understand if anything is really happening or if we're just
within another cycle.

I already took it out from the library, but then ran out of time to read
much of it before it was due back. Have no clue why this particular
prolonged very warm spell. If it has to do w/global warming, el Niño, or
what.
