    And also just what is the perfect weather? Ice ages? Warm periods?

    The term is relative. :P

    Exactly. Now, they're blaming the tornado outbreak on climate change.

    Everything is the result of "climate change".
    As I always say in the dead of winter with cold weather "We could use
    some global warming about now".
    Remember in the '70s the talk was all about global cooling?

    And, they keep doing it. Some say the risk of being washed away or flooded

    What gets me are people who continually rebuild in flood plains.

    I heard of folks that would never take suitcases on vacation. They would never do laundry, and instead, buy new clean clothes, and throw the dirty ones in the trash.
    On my trips I take my laundry basket from home and when full look for a laundromat along the way.
    Some larger motels have laundry rooms, but mostly its finding one along
    the road somewhere.
    I also take an iron with me, though some places also have them.

    Joe,

    his natural gas.

    Everyone has that...especially if you eat baked beans, legumes, etc. :P

    Anything to advance their propaganda.

    Now they know why the price of land was so cheap.

    On my trips I take my laundry basket from home and when full look for
    a laundromat along the way.

    I try to get clothes that don't need ironing. Of course, I'm out of luck
    on the birthday suit, as it is full of wrinkles. I tried getting that
    altered, but the clerk wasn't too happy about it. <G>

    That's like the story where this couple asked the preacher to marry them,
    and that their wedding was planned for six months from now. He said he would, but only if they abstained from sexual relations until the honeymoon night.
    The young couple agreed.

    Well, two weeks later, the couple came in, and told the preacher that they would have to find someone else to marry them. The groom to be said his bride to be was standing up on a ladder, and he saw under her dress, and passion
    bit him big time, and he made love to her right there.

    The pastor said "You're right...I'm not going to be able to marry you".
    To which, the couple said "We can't blame you. The folks at Home Depot
    weren't happy about it, either!!". <BG>
