Global Warming, My Ass.

Can someone tell me how we have “Global Warming” when the northeastern United States has been between 5 and 10 degrees below long-term average temperatures for the past six weeks?

Yesterday was July 13th, 2009. The recorded daytime high for central Connecticut was 78°F.  The daytime high for the same day last year was 86°F. (historical data are available from here.  No direct link as they update multiple times per day.)

The forecast high temperature for today in central Connecticut is 78°F.  In mid-July.

And the Congress has just passed the single largest tax in the history of civilization to (it is stated) stave off catastrophic global warming.

Someone needs to point out to these idiots in DC that it is not getting warmer anywhere around here.

I love this game.

It started off, as so many things do, with an off-hand comment in the car.  While passing a golf course, I said “I know I’m hitting middle age.  I’m feeling the pull of the golf course.”  Ken’s response – golf’s too expensive, you should try disc golf.

I’m hooked.  This is the first sport I’ve ever been able to keep up with.  So I’ll be posting about it a lot.

For now, my main goal: “don’t come in last.”

OK, Now we’re on 2.8.1. Let me know if anything is funkier than usual.

An open letter to the players at Wickham Park

“Behind the log at the 13th tee” is not the correct answer to “where should I put this empty bottle”.  Please have the courtesy to carry your detritus to the waste baskets, or don’t bring disposable stuff on to the course.  And if you see garbage strewn about, pick it up.  The $5 admission fee to the park does not grant you license to litter.

Your mother does not work here.  Please clean up after yourself.

Elections have consequences.

Read this editorial about “Judge” Sonia Sotomayor.  I put Judge in scare quotes because her opinions disqualify her from actually BEING a judge.

Given her position on racial differences, and her willingness to ignore certain facts based upon the petitioners before her, I would not trust her to be an umpire at a little league baseball game.

I wonder what our racist president could POSSIBLY have seen in her.

Actually, I don’t.

Lunch to die from

Does the fat from the cheese and 2.5 hot dogs override the carbs from the two slices of bread?

How about the mustard and butter?

So what.  I’m eating it anyhow.
