I find myself on this fine Sept day somewhat under the Jan. weather. Global warming is coming to a place near you because I have on today the electric heater like many days this summer. Between that and our politicians and intelligentsia spewing wind the whole world will, I predict, melt down soon.
Thank you, Dag ! Nothing could be more convincing that the threat of global warming is serious indeed ; I was not so sure, but now I know I must definitely get a pareo and a large straw hat to wear on Xmas day...
I think only those who do not live in Vancouver can dream up something like global warming or even climate change. I am sick from a bad chill, and it's only a miracle I didn't get sick sooner, given the weather here, which is uniformly miserable in this admittedly beautiful city.
Yes, I'll admit I wore a large straw hat recently, as well as a wool blanket. Over that I put on my pants. Oh, never mind that part. I'm relating how terrible awful cold it is here.
If ever I hear it's snowing in southwest Arkansas I'm giving up the ghost. Or maybe I'll go to France. Nice, eh?
global warming has not reached us yet ! France has had a vile summer, with rain, wind and fogs (real ones, not mists!), except near Nice of course ; today, near Avignon, where I live, the "mistral" is blowing like mad : 11O/12O kmh, which must be something like 75miles ; this morning we had a refreshing 13°C at getting-up time, about54°F...which of these measures do you use, by the way ? Of course, if you happen to visit France, let us know, and we will put the heating on. I think that the cartoon we are commenting is a double-meaning one : the "warming" is perhaps the one created by the new type of clothes many women wear these days ? As we say in French, "coquin!".... I hope you are feeling better, those colds are a real nuisance!
