You can always talk about the weather----

The storms last night caused sheer terror and havoc for some people in North Carolina. I hope yuor family and friends are ok. Lately, we are experiencing weaher that has been more native to other parts of the country. I fly a good deal and I have not had one smooth ride in quite some time.  I am no scientist, but things are definitely changing.  The drought, the heat and the lack of a winter are really creating huge problems for our natural enviroment.  I don't have a solution, I am just worried the harsh weather will become a norm and not a fluke.
