down here in LA it hasn't rained in 3 years, but we all know it's not global warming, it's god punishing us for wicked ways and that's a trade off we're willing to make

Last winter was so warm and dry, relatively speaking, that I didn't have to take the tractor out even once to plow the driveway. This year the patio furniture is STLL out, I'm spray painting outside, and I haven't put the housemate's 53 truck under wraps yet.Watch, we'll get fifteen blizzards in a row starting Friday.

I've worn a sweatshirt only a few times in the past couple of YEARS. And my stack of light turtlenecks, which I normally wear when it gets "cold" here (yes, I KNOW - L.A. "never gets cold") has gone nearly undisturbed. AND this summer was miserable, I hardly went out of the house on the hotter days.

We wouldn't be around to see it regardless of whether it changed or not. Death, remember?

I deliberately decided against having kids, this being one of the several reasons why. I've no desire to bring someone into the world into to say to them, "Sorry about the dying planet, kid. Good luck!"
