Global Warming Is The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
Spring Came A Month Early This Year
Trees Are Leafing Now Instead of Mid-April
Forgive me for a little poke at the global warming crowd, but this year's variation in climate has grabbed my attention.

Under the law, incandescents are not banned, nor are compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs mandated as replacements.
Manufacturers and wholesalers do have to meet new standards that are forcing them to improve the efficiency of incandescent … (0 comments)
