===========================
On 09-13-07 MICHAEL LOO Scribbled to DAVE DRUM about Seasonal 

ML> DD> stores  that my Hub store services and noticed that quite a few
ML> DD> trees along the  route had started to turn colour - - - about
ML> DD> three weeks early. We must  be in for a really zippy cold
ML> DD> winter. I'll have to consult my wooly bear  capper-tiller
ML> DD> migrations in a couple of weeks.

ML>As the Newsweek article a couple years pointed out, the
ML>scientists predicting global warming suggest that the pattern
ML>will be an upward trend in temperature (because of more
ML>available energy) but with wider-than-ever-before variations,
ML>plus bigger storms (because of more available energy). It is
ML>suggested that the hurricane zones won't have to worry so
ML>much in the next century, as they will be permanently under
ML>water anyhow.

Oh, I've been a believer for years - as has anyone except certain 
politicians who are beholden to business interests. And the leaders of 
those businesses know - but, don't care past this quarter's bottom line 
that it's true.

ML> DD> Other signs of encroaching seasonal changes ... the moderate
ML> DD> steroid  using athletes of MLB are winding down their season
ML> DD> whilst the severe steroid users are cranking up theirs.

ML>How cynical is that. I haven't been keeping up - has
ML>Steroid Baroid been whipping them out of the park?

Dunno, I last lost interest in MLB while trying to regenerate same 
during the McGwire - Sosa home run derby. I do know that Bobby's boy has 
been left out in the cold by the Giants ... only because it was 
mentioned on NPR's Morning Edition.

ML> DD> the Denizens of  Wrigley Field haven't moved to Manila yet.
ML> DD> Heck, they are leading their  division. What's up with that???

ML>Perhaps the Billy Goat was let back into the stadium?

Or the End of the Universe is near.  Bv)=

ML> DD> I think probably Mr. Gore's "alarmist fears" are coming to pass.
ML> DD> Brother  Weller may be basking in a sub-tropical paradise (well,
ML> DD> maybe not for  the polar bears) in just a few short years.

ML>The polar bears that survive will have learned to be
ML>long-distance swimmers - a frightening thought, actually.

I expect my current location of be beach front property on the Gulf of 
Mississippi - albeit briefly. The Eastern shore winding up, eventually, 
near Crawfordsville, IN.

ML> DD> And what is that going to do to my supply of broccoli,
ML> DD> cauliflower,  tomatoes and the other white vegetable - pork????

ML>Bigger veggies earlier in the season. More by-products, too,
ML>so maybe more and bigger pigs?

ML>And maybe there'll be a Great Nebraska Sea so you can enjoy
ML>fresh native laver and cockles in the Midwest.

Olathe, KS is likely to be a prime waterfront resort location on the 
Western shore of the Mississippi Gulf.

Big winner, though, will be the Port of Chicago.
