GH>>  Had a headlight go out last night. Early this after noon I

GH>>  Isn't Global Warming a myth?

BK>>Actually, it was a chain yank for the right wingers. It was 40
BK>>Deg F here, and that ain't really warm. The point is, so many of
BK>>the right wingers are southerners that 40 is artic to them. For
BK>>us native northerners, in January 40F is warm enough to go out
BK>>in a short sleeve shirt for a bit. I was out there last week in
BK>>freezing weather, for a short time, in a short sleeve shirt.

 TR> Actually, I was born and raised in upstate New York, right
 TR> on the shores of Lake Ontario. 40 degree temperatures in
 TR> January in that locale is probably something you'd wear a
 TR> light jacket to school in. Going in and out of doors,
 TR> knocking hanging ice from eaves, or sweeping snow from a
 TR> walk or porch steps in a tee shirt or long-sleeved polo
 TR> shirt wasn't unheard of.

 I do believe I said something like that.

 TR> One of my step-sister's owned a house right up on the shore
 TR> of the Great Lake, and I used to spend weekends there with
 TR> my nephew (he was the same age as I was) ice skating on the
 TR> lake.

 Ice skating keeps you warm.

BK>>As I asked them, how long does it take you to change a headlight
BK>>bulb. Note that access was relatively easy.

 TR> Those who think they're talking to people who've never
 TR> experienced cold weather, and are boasting about how long
 TR> they stayed outdoors in 40 degree temperatures wearing a
 TR> tee shirt, are put their own foot in their mouth. (again!)

 Notice no mention of how long, lestwise boasting. The question
 was how long does it take. Answer, not very long at all.

 TR took the statement that many of the right wingers live in the
 South and turned it into an implication that *ALL* of the right
 wingers live in the South. Notice he didn't catch it the first
 time around, but only after I gave my followup. He responded
 with an extended, and meaningless, lecture on global climate
 change, linking cycles that take from tens of thousands to
 millions of years to current and short term temperature
 increases.
