Friends: 0 |  Just heard on the radio that the preceding 6 months were the warmest on record. All states in the lower 48 reported warmer than normal. I believe they said the temperature was 3 degrees warmer than any previous 6 month average. Don't know where to look to verify but sure seemed warm to me! |

Friends: 0 | "Researchers Say Increasing Wildfires May Be Result of Global Warming" http://www.krnv.com/Global/story.asp...&nav=menu113_2 I read one article interviewing a, I think, chief firefighter... he said the fires were the worst he has ever seen them. Alone, it is not enough to say global warming is the cause. But taken into a global context (even just North America) and what is going around the world, this is a very legtimate suspicion. http://www.climatehotmap.org/ |

Friends: 0 | I don't mean to brag about Chicagoland again... but I gotta... We set an all time record for energy consumption today.... It was a super hot day... 96 + high humidity and we all had our AC cranked to the "meat locker" setting. I think we can top the record tomorrow or Monday, it's supposed to be even hotter then. Whooooohoooo... We are wasting more energy in Chicagoland than all of Africa consumes in a single day. Sweet!! |

Friends: 0 | Global warming and environmental protection aren't something that "hippies" believe in: "Green America: Why Environmentalism is Hot" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13768213/site/newsweek/ Eh, seems like I have lost my sense of humor with all this fighting some 10k miles away. Need to remember to not focus on what is out of my locus of control. |

Friends: 89 | As much as I like the heat and look forward to having waterfront property, this would be a good time to invent some solar powered refrigeration to use as air conditioning. |
