haven't studied history and you're to young to have

predictions becoming
popular notions. I lived through the global cooling
hysteria of the 70's, so
please spare me the ignorant ranting of the true
believers.

Someday the earth may cool to absolute zero or heat to a
million degrees. I
don't know. All anybody "knows" is what they think the
historical record
shows: that the earth gets really cold and the earth gets
really hot.

The rest is the clucking of hens.

Funny you should ask. In '63 my father built an underground house with
5,000 square feet. The roof of the house was 16 feet underground. It was
such a hit they had to move out and open it to the public for a year, just
to let the hoopla die down so they could move back in without the doorbell
ringing constantly. The house was featured in Life magazine and Walter
Cronkite had a segment called "Tu Tu's Tour of the Underground House." Tu
Tu was an 75 pound Chow Chow who loved cameras, posing if you just held your
hands to your face while saying "Smile." It was such a hit, my Dad built
one for the World's Fair in New York. Made the Wall Street Journal and
hundreds of papers across the country.

Well, what you said is certainly a popular notion.

Not half as popular as the sky-is-falling, global warming buzz phrases.

Yeah, the truth is sometimes, though not often, popular.

No, but we should have. The fact that the U.S. never actually got atom-
bombed doesn't mean that the risk wasn't very real.

I would agree that much of the "public debate" and pop-culture
imaginings about global warming are wrong; but what is even dumber is
the arrogant notion that mankind has burned hunreds of millions of
tons of oil.... how many hundred trillion BTUs worth? ....and that
energy supposedly just vanished with no effect.

Did yours?

(I'll bet the water in those sealed containers is pretty
stagnant by now.)


We add chlorine pills every two years.

We didn't need no steenk'n Bomb Shelter. :o)
Wouldn't be much point for us. My dad was in the Air Force and we
lived about 1 mile from SAC Headquarters in Omaha.
SAC= Stratigic Air Comand. (You know, the nuclear bomb delivery
people.)

Kewl. I bought one of those CD Geiger counters, a reconditioned and tested
one, almost new in the box, a while back. Loads of fun, but so far not a
lot of radioactivity around to discover. Guess I'll have to wait until
Ahmadinijad does some atmospheric testing.

Might want to throw out those 1965 canned beans, though.
