HOT!  yes its been hot, but the sky is not falling.  It was hot in 1936 and that winter we had a cold winter.  I recall a morning of 22 below zero.  I had to haul in a lot of coal to keep the heater going in the living room.  Gas and oil heat came much later.

The grapevine says President Obama will concentrate on climate change in his agenda for his next term.  I wonder what he has ordered for 2013?  I may want to buy some snuggies.
