    Did you ever see "Tim's Vermeer"? Utterly fascinating film, and it caused some controversy, as any good, thought-provoking movie will.

      I remember wanting to see it, but somehow I didn't get around to it. I'll have to add it to my Netflix queue.

    Noticed your reply Henry. LB had a post up the other day on which, I mere minutes ago left a comment which I here now post in reply to you. (LB's post - just so you might note the date)

    *Yeah I realize [LB] Henry, “Old News.”

    God this has been a helluva June. And, oddly enough (can I still even type “oddly”[?) August is regularly spoken of in the US as being the “hottest month” (I heard a couple of tweens saying “hottest” aloud so I suppose saying that is still allowable [of course that was last week) but actually, and only insofar as Arkansas’ experience is – at least in the county in which I personally reside within – September is the hottest month.

    I sure hope in a way Climate Change is actually real. For if September’s news is “odder and/or hotter” than this June’s has been, I simply do not know whether I can handle it.*

      JK,

      The real issue is not whether the weather (pun) is changing, but whether or not the cause (or lack thereof) is attributable to human activity.

      And Harry the T had the answer to your quandary: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the freakin' kitchen." (I know, I know, the Pres didn't say "freakin'" It just feels like it should have been included.) :)
