Global Warming? Maybe

While living down south, I've never been a believer.  With some of the weather that we saw last year on the Arctic Circle, I still wasn't convinced (even though the locals all said that this was one of the mildest winters that they had ever seen).  Of course, this winter here may just be an anomaly, but it's hard to argue with some of the stuff that we're seeing here.  Even the oldest elders in town are all saying that they have never seen open water at Christmas.  It's not like there is "some" open water, there is hardly any ice at all.  We have had snow, definitely.  But, the dogs are currently doing their "business" in the grass!  The puddles in the street haven't even frozen over night for at least four nights now, with Christmas just days away.  I don't think that anyone know who David Suzuki is around here (or care), but they're all telling stories about how the stuff that we're seeing right now, is totally unheard of.
Speaking of Christmas approaching, we have been receiving a lot of cards, letters, and gifts in the last few days.  Thank-you to everyone that's thinking of us during this celebratory season!
Did you see any football today?  What a bunch of unbelievable finishes!  The short kick that was returned for a touchdown in Indy, four touchdowns in the last 7:28 for Philly, and an OT win for Detroit on the road after 26 straight road losses.  You only play 8 road games per season, and they lost 26 straight before today.
Tomorrow is the first exhibition game for the juniors.  Prediction 3-2 Canada.  Will I be right?

Stay tuned.
