Monday Morning Global Warming Controversy...

Woke up this morning and what did I see? A whole new world shining down on me..
Sunshine shimmered across the lawn
Birds that looked like Robins
took over a neighbors tree
and
surprisingly
a rainbow way up in the sky
inspired me
with a nice moment of reverie before having to face reality

And, reality I faced today.
Like yesterday and tomorrow
Reality bites hard upon a person's soul
in the bright sunlight
especially on a Monday

~ ~ ~

Models show a persistent African wave tries to make it across the Atlantic.
Weight watchers is offering a special offer
Something forms just over Florida again on one model.. looks to be weak
Louisianna tries to dry out and off.. again.
Texas cleans up.
Houstoners go back and vow secretly to never do THAT again.
Galveston beach beckons someone I know
Key West calls to my soul

I'm definitely going home early today or going some where my heart's not in it.
And suddenly, everyone's an expert on Global Warming...

Cute, sweet, strange man is here.. needs help finding values of a stamp collection he came across somewhere ....he recently acquired...he's a locksmith.. think on it

I helped him..
I always help him...
He offers lunch, I always turn down lunch
Hey.. keep trying, you never know
Persistence pays off sometimes


So.. as I said on Global Warming...

Good article on Drudge this morning... facts, dates.. deep as Unisys is wide..

A wonderful resource of Cat 4 and 5 material to remember when thinking the times we live in are different from other times.

Common.. this being the best of times, the worst of times.. you know?

STREISAND DECLARES 'GLOBAL WARMING EMERGENCY'
THE SUPERSTAR SONGSTRESS SERENADED SAWYER WITH STORM SEASON ASSERTIONS. BUT TO SOME SHE'LL SOUND MORE LIKE A WINDSOCK SINGING LIBERALISM'S GOLDEN OLDIES!
NEW YORK -- This summer's back to back superstorms are proof positive we have entered a new period of "global warming emergency," artist/citizen Barbra Streisand warns.
Streisand is back on the scene to promote her reunion disc with Barry Gibb.

As hellstorm "Rita" churned in the Gulf, Streisand sat down for a promotional interview with ABCNEWS's Diane Sawyer.

"We are in a global warming emergency state, and these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," Streisand urgently declares.

But Sawyer did not remind Streisand that a Category 5 hurricane struck the Bahamas with 160 mph winds -- when the singer was five years old, in 1947!

And when Streisand was 8 years old, a Cat 5 hurricane -- named "Dog" -- packing 185 mph churned-away in the Atlantic.

When she was 9, a Cat 5 storm named "Easy" ripped the seas with 160 mph sustained winds.

Streisand was 13 years old when "Janet" hit Mexico with 150 mph winds.

Streisand was celebrating her sweet sixteen as "Cleo" formed with 140 mph.

At 18, Streisand read news about "Donna" AND "Ethel" -- both storms carried 140 mph winds and formed 9 days apart in 1960!

One year later, when Streisand was 19, it happened again: Two Category 5 storms scared the world: "Carla" and "Hattie!"

"Carla" maxed out at 175 mph winds the year Streisand made her television debut on "The Jack Paar Show."

And who could forget Hurricane "Camille" -- which smashed into the United States with 190 mph, just as "Funny Girl" garners eight Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture and one for Barbra as Best Actress.

Up next on the weather warning watch, Streisand says to ABC: "There could be more droughts, dust bowls. You know, it's amazing to hear these facts."
