I’ll file your complaint with Al Gore. Perhaps he can check his fancy scientific instruments to see what is wrong. Sorry! Al couldn’t read them anyway. Perhaps he can check with his imminent scientists in order to search out the error. You know! Those scientists who couldn’t keep a private email from being stolen and read.

One degree at 6:40 A. M.! I use to walk across KAFB to the mess hall at 5:00 A. M. It may be necessary to requisition some true AF Alaskan wear now. Of course, every New Mexican winter felt like one degree after the wind chill from the whipping New Mexico Enchantment was factored in. It made me envy our sheep. Even though they were receiving lethal doses of radiation, they looked warm in their coat of wool, even though they were the guest of the AF in thermatically controlled animale shelters.

I woke up this morning and turned on the weather, as I normally do; and I heard that it was minus 17 in Albuquerque with the wind chill. What? What Albuquerque were they talking about? I had never experienced such low readings in the Albuquerque (NM) that I knew when I was there in the late Sixties; but, then, this was before the wind chill scale was invented. It may have been that cold riding my bicycle over the Land of Enchantment, and I didn’t know it. It is no wonder that Albuquerque is the place where I learned how to wear “long johns” and to dress appropriately, especially while riding a bike or hiking early in the morning. In this case, I am glad that I didn’t have the benefit of knowing about the “scale”. I would have done as Paxatawney Phil in Pennsylvania, and run back into my hole for another six weeks although I understand that he did not do that this year.

Sorry! Al Gore still believes in his original thesis of global warming. Go on his website and you can see what I mean. Once a politician, always a politician! A politician can never be changed. Big Al still believes that snowstorms are to be expected when the earth is warming up. He just won’t believe the evidence that the sun is cooling off, that the sun has been in the doldrums all last summer, allowing the Pacific Ocean to cool to its coolest point in recent years. Wake up and consult your scientists Al, the real ones who have no ax to grind.
