There was a time when all a man worried about was how much wood or coal to lay in. Too much was always better.
And for a weather report, he'd go out and come back in for more clothes if needed.
Now, today, my wife and I were laying the last of 3600 paver bricks and it started to rain after the first hour. But she turned on the trusty counter-top TV and we planned the work according to a green patchy area moving across the weather screen. Could see it was going to clear up. Complicated but it sort-of works.
Ice age? Well something suddenly froze those Mastodons (or is it Mammoths) so quick thousands of years ago, that they're still fresh and edible as they thaw today. So I'm worried about not just my yard or back 40 but the world now. I suppose it won't be too long and some scientist will notice that if Earth survives, there is evidence of a Super Nova going to shortly explode in the Milky Way which is going to ruin our galaxy weather. It sucks to be a human with the sometimes gift of foresight.
Shucks, I think we will just go out and buy a steak and some beer for supper. God knows we earned it after all those damn bricks. Beef, not mastodon. And I might not get a chance to properly die from cholesterol anyway.
