It’s been flying all over. It would make sense that it would be utility company related. Don’t know, just saying.

That’s what I thought too but there is no utility’s within a few miles of where they were flying here and there we’re sheriffs on the side of the road, thought maybe missing person? Escaped mental patient? Marci kitchens soul?

Gee… I was kind of enjoying the drought. It looks like it might be over for a while. It just goes to show you. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

As soon as the water runs into the ocean it’ll be drought time again. What would our government officials in CA do without a crisis?

Nobody knows what future weather will be but we do have some idea of the future climate and its effects: the Polar ice caps will continue to melt, raising ocean levels and flooding out coastal locations.

About 10,000 years ago the Great lakes and Minnesota were covered in a glacier. It’s been getting warmer with a few dips and bumps colder since then.

“The Little Ice Age was a period of cooling between the 16th and 19th centuries.
The period was the coldest interval over the Northern Hemisphere for one thousand or so years.
During this time, regular plagues and famines hit Europe and glaciers descended from the Alps to cover a number of villages.”

the Milankovich Cycle ( A Serb, but I don’t hate him. Sorry Grandma) suggests 10 or 12 glacier and thaw cycles over the last 2 million years. 2/3 of Ohio was under ice 12 to 15,000 years ago. People likely saw it, but human intervention was nil.

Glaciers are still retreating world-wide. The Little Ice Age was just closing down when Charles Dickens was writing, thus the ice-skating pictures on the Thames River.
