 weather or not. Wednesday, January 30, 2008 and you thought that global warming was a slow, gentle, pleasant rise in temperatures that was either weirdo al gore with a beard bullshit or a lefto anti-big biz brainwash meant to cripple the economy to the point of accepting socialism, well, you may be right on both counts but let's get this straight, it's fo rizzle and it sure am effing with the weather here in jesus's bible belt (which holds up his bible pants, i guess). severe thunderstorms and tornado-type winds, lightning, rain followed by single digit temps and below freezing wind chills. and you thought it was only about polar bears lonesomely floating on pieces of broken glacier. how come there isn't more talk about how strange the weather is becoming? i wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow's forecast mentioned locusts, killer bees and bowling ball-sized hail. it is so screwy i dress for work in layers that both begin and end with a speedoTM and the shit in between includes everything from a burqa to mukluks...i just don't know anymore. i get that kentucky weather is known for a little bit of every climate at any given time--but of late it seems like we are trapped in a battle of wills, reminiscent of the step-brother battles of rankin/bass' heat & snow misers. unfortunately, it seems ol' mom nature is passed out on the day bed from the highly lethal concoction of a chinese industrial revolution and the u.s. need for a boss set of wheels, unable to referee the boys. and you thought ambien and xanax carried a wallop, this mix is screwing the proverbial climate pooch is really going to affect my day to day...which means, that it will affect yours...cause i ain't going it alone buddy. so if you are like me, and hey, i know i am--invest in sunscreen and mittens, looks like in the very near future on any given day you'll need them both. boy+winterized=strangely oliver twistish.
