Not much use, is he?

This one’s for the birds.

Wishful Thinking

The makers of this site think the world would be better without us. Or so that’s the inference we get.

A world without people would be kind of boring, frankly. And nature is a lot more violent than humans. Why do you think we do what we do?

Agriculture and farming is so we don’t starve. Nature likes droughts and disasters.

Architecture protects us from the elements. As do clothes.

Roads help us move goods between places so people have what they need.

Weapons protect us from predators and help us bag game.

Medical science is designed to protect us from all the nasty ways nature tries to kill us.

Civilization is mankind’s way of banding against nature. What green lovers fail to understand is without these things, many of them would not be alive. Their ancestors would have been killed before they had their grandparents or parents.

Why some may think a house is a blight on nature, this video shows that nature always wins in the end. We’re just here temporarily.

Paging Al Gore

Yes, it’s another calm year for Hurricanes.

Unless a dramatic and perhaps historical flurry of activity occurs in the next 9 weeks, 2007 will rank as a historically inactive TC year for the Northern Hemisphere as a whole. During the past 30 years, only 1977, 1981, and 1983 have had less activity to date (January-TODAY, Accumulated Cyclone Energy). However, the year is not over…

What was that about Global Warming again, Al?

Deer

I saw a family of deer in my next door neighbor’s yard this morning. A four point buck and three does. Alas, if I got out of my car to get my camera, they would have been spooked. They were watching me watch them.

I live out in the country, right on the edge of town next to a big lake. I was wondering when that would happen.

While I’m not surprised I saw them, Deer can show up in the strangest places.
