A Good Solution?

Do Senate leaders really think this is a good solution to the country’s energy crisis and global warming? George F. Will writes a very poignant article on the bill that was being debated in the Senate this week. You can read it here. Talk about increasing the bureacracy and size of the federal government… also government control over private business. No good in my eyes.

Do I believe climate change happens and is happening? Yes. Do I believe that we should do all we can to reduce emmissions, be responsible in our use of natural resources and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills? Yes, I most defintely do. Do I believe that humans are the cause of “global warming” and that we are doomed if we don’t do something drastic now? Nope. I have yet to read anything (convincing) which backs up claims that global warming is happening or that humans have any direct effect on global temperatures.

I wasn’t alive back in the 1970s, but maybe some of you that are reading this were. Any of you recall the global cooling scare?

Weather Craziness

Today is Thursday.  The high temperature was 72.  Tuesday, the high was 108 and yesterday the high was 95.  What?!  This is just all sorts of crazy.  At least this weekend looks like it will be nice a cool in the valley.  I’d much rather have this weather than a Memorial Weekend where the average tempearture hovers around 110.

Perfect Weather

The weather here in Phoenix this weekend has been great.  The temperature is around 80 degrees and I’ve had the windows open throughout the house.  This is the best time of the year… well, it really goes hand in hand with October weather.  I wish it would be like this year round, but then we’d have 2x as many people living here.

You’d think that I would be spending time outside with this great weather.  Nope, I am catching up on TV and movies.  Next weekend is looking to be just as great.  I’ll be taking advantage of the great weather next Saturday.  For any of you stuck in the cold, jealous?

Another “Wonderful” Az Republic Story

The linked story below is just another reason why I dislike the Arizona Republic. The story only shows one side of the issue and treats Global Warming as fact. The piece is titled “Climate-change Realities Could Ruin Water Planning”, which caught my interest. Too bad it’s a worthless read. Anyway, feel free to read it here. That is, if you can get past the first paragraph:

Human-caused climate change could undermine a century of building dams, canals and reservoirs across the West as warmer temperatures alter the way water flows through the dry country, scientists say.

Global Warming Pressure

Hoax

Ugh.. Thank God there is only one more weekend!

OK, again I have to bitch and complain about my job at BOB. These high schoolers are pissing me off more than you can even understand. They are driving me insane. I’m sorry, but this is a part time, easy ass job, and it shouldn’t be that hard to just do your job, right? Well, these children seem to have some major issues. This weekend has been pretty good though, so I can’t complain too much… except….

Ok, how hard is it to understand what sexual harassment is and how not to do it??? At the beginning of the season we had the staff meeting where this was all explained to us… but I guess it didn’t stick. I had to speak to 2 guys today about comments they were making. They didn’t seem to realize that sexual harassment doesn’t necessarily have to be directed towards someone who is working with you… it can just be a derogatory comment made about someone of the opposite/same sex that someone finds offensive and creates a hostile work environment. I’m not sure if this makes me less of a ‘guy’ or not but I don’t see why anyone would see the need to say things about a girl that is walking by that I just can’t repeat in this post! Is that supposed to be cool? Am I just too old? What’s the deal? Anyway, I felt kind of weird having to mention it to these guys, but I have to do the whole manager thing, besides the fact that it’s not very professional. I mean, there are girls that work with us and there was a girl that was working with us today.

Anyway, that’s all the ranting for today.

Hey you, person in FL! Watch out for Ivan, he’s headed right at Tallahassee and I don’t think he wants to play nice!!

This is not cool…

This is not turning out to be a real bad Hurricane season. We’re only to the F’s and there have been two that have made land fall in the FL area… and here comes Frances…

I’m at work, else I’d post more. You’ll be seeing more posts from me… now that the Olympics are over.

Team USA did great, as always (not including the Men’s Basketball team, such an embarrassment). Upon watching the Olympics and thinking about everything they stand for… I believe the IOC should adopt a policy that if you don’t allow women to participate (at least try to make a country’s Olympic team) that they should not be allowed to participate at all. The IOC will exclude countries from participation if the country’s Olympic Committee refuses to play against certain countries or races… what’s the difference between that discrimination and the discrimination they show towards women?? Yes, I realize it’s a religion thing, but that still doesn’t make it right. Plenty of “Islamic” states allow women to participate. Anyway, just my $.02!

42 C!

Yikes! Damn it was hot today! Just wait till tomorrow… supposidly it’ll be hotter! oh well.. i should be used to it… (i don’t think you ever get used to the heat).
