Went up to the boat today

Had lunch, went to the marina, found that during the past few weeks in which we actually had winter snow, someone has been shoveling the snow and piling it up in several places -- most inconveniently, under the port buttocks of Escapade. Did my best to clear through the remaining snow and ice so that I could place my ladder for boarding, but couldn't get through the four inches or so located just exactly where I needed to put the ladder legs to get through the door in my winter shrink-wrap cover. Bugger it all. On the bright side, it appears that I'm the only one who thinks that it's time to be getting the boat ready for spring. Not another living soul at the marina. Karin Hi Karin, I'm afraid that I can't feel sorry for you. Down here in Trinidad it is quite the opposite. Undertaking any physical effort at all means that perspiration literally pours off. Trying to hand sand something for example means that you have to move your head to one side of the piece of work so that sweat does not drip and cause the sandpaper to clog. Shorts offer no protection from the sun and trousers are too hot so I wear a sarong all day - fine at home in Malaysia where everyone wears them, but here.. the comments have died down now about my "dress". It gets so hot during the early afternoon that sitting down for a break and a cup of coffee usually results in falling asleep. I would just love to be able to stand in your wonderful invigorating cold for just a few minutes now and then during the working day. If everything is frozen, how long is your boating season? cheers Peter It's called "global warming" and I am told we should all be doing something about it, such as giving up our gas-guzzling cars and buying tiny electric ones. Maybe you should frog-march one of these idiots to your boat and force him to clear the snow. He will take a sample and tell you it's from the Greenland ice cap. Poor sods, should we get them all certified? Dennis. |

The earth is in one of the coldest eras of its history (unless you're a Christian that believes the Universe is only 6000 years old). As to the CO2 causing "global warming", you need to put the graphs together for the last several thousand years.

Perhaps you work for the Republican Party, Exxon?

Try doing some research before posting such foolishness. |

Try doing some research before posting such foolishness. The problem with Al Gore's "research" is that he had a preconceived notion -- ie that humans are causing Global Warming -- then set about to find "studies" which proved that idea. He conveniently discards any study which refutes his claims, and blows others entirely out of proportion. The earth's climate is anything but static. We are fortunate to be living in a WARM period, but even so this "warm" period is quite cool compared with eras past. Humans have a tendency to view the world as it is *now* as somehow the way it should always be. We build along shorelines thinking that the shoreline must *always* be in the same place. We build in areas which are pleasant for us to live in thinking that they must *always* be pleasant places to live in. The world doesn't care what we want, and is constantly changing. http://www.cei.org/pages/ait_response.cfm |

The forest helps cleanse the atmosphere of Co2 |

Correction Larry, 6,010 years Archbishop Usher set the date as 9am in the morning of the 10th of October 4004 BC And......., you've neglected to cite him as a source. We don't want any more nasty recriminations do we? cheers Peter As to the CO2 causing "global warming", you need to put the graphs together for the last several thousand years. Larry |

They just burned them alive at the stake. This was more civilised as they might sometimes be given the chance to recant before they were burned in which case they were humanely strangled first, burned after. At least their souls would be saved. Peter |
