I know, I know.  There is no such thing as global warming.  It is all the figment of our imaginations.  It’s nothing more than the scare tactics of people like me who see a world gone awry.  It has nothing to do with the polar ice cap disappearing at an alarming rate or any  other such “the sky is falling” crap.

Maybe so.  But I know this - I am 64 years of age and have seen my share of weather changes and problems.  I’ve seen snow ass deep to a tall Indian in October, and have been snowed in on Thanksgiving. I have seen hurricanes devastate the south, and flooding and wildfires decimate the land in places like Greece, Texas, and points south.  Of course, I am assured it has nothing to do with global warming, no sir!

Today is November 2, 2007.  I have not had to turn on the heat this season yet.  And yesterday I picked tomatoes from my little roof top garden.  Granted, it is somewhat protected by being higher and surrounded on two sides by buildings.  But as I sit here and think about this, I realize that never in my lifetime have I ever picked tomatoes in November, and that tells me all I need to know…

Drive on,

Charlie~
