It's kinda funny how we are always 12 years from disaster. There is a great bit - the whole episode in fact - of In Search Of... on climate change from the early '70's. Back then we were looking at global cooling, in 12 years. Then the late 80's and early '90's gave us global warming... in 12 years. Finally, 'climate change' was picked, and there's no argument there. Climate's been changing on this rock for more than 4.5 billion years, and it doesn't need us to do it! I don't know if it'll change in 12 years though... XD

One of the reasons I chose Sacramento when I moved to CA - it seems mostly free from floods/tsunamis/fires/mudslides/earthquakes/blizzards/avalanches/tornadoes/hurricanes/other natural & natural-ish disasters...:nailbiting:

I've been though there... but haven't spent time there.

I took the opposite tack and bought a home a few miles inland. With all this talk of rising sea levels I'm guaranteed to have ocean front property:thumbsup: (maybe sometime in the next millennium:().

Driving to work in the slick slippery stuff is one aspect I don't miss about Kentucky. I also wasn't too fond of shoveling snow, especially mixed with ice. That is, until I bought a nifty little Honda snow blower. That actually made the job so much fun I'd do my 50 yard long triple wide drive way, and 4 of the neighbors drive ways along with all the connecting sidewalks and front walkways. The neighbors all knew I liked Irish Coffee, so they'd keep me pretty well juiced up while I was blowing snow.

I completely understand. I bought a Toro snow blower (electric) on sale at Sears over a decade ago and it was mony well spent. I could take care of our drive, a neighbors, my mother's and her neighbor in about the time it would take to do mine by hand. Still don't like it much. Winter is fine for a month and then I'm done with it. Those blasted Canadians can keep all that polar air up there where it belongs.;):D

Honestly, I'd keep it until January 2nd and ship it "notherner" as well.

Happy TT y'alls, Got only one Bird, so you'll get to see her often.

Cheers,
Mike
