4. Already set to record!

Thanks for the reminder, I might have forgotten I had it until I looked at my list.

My father lived through this. He was not in the worst area of Kansas but I have stories and pictures. Even where he was it was simply awful. I can't imagine having to sleep with a wet cloth over my face or wake up with an inch of dust on top of you. They lost everything, they were farmers.

6. That must have been a frightening experience

I read a lot about it but I won't miss Burns' documentary.

5. "The Dust Bowl never happened." - Republicans (R)

"We have checked with Rush, Fox, and Hannity, and several of our other beloved overpaid draft-dodging, drug-abusing Republican Propaganda Sources. Thus, we believe for a fact that kinda maybe seemingly apparently the Dust Bowl was a librul, sochulist fantasy --- just like global climate change now -- caused by Kenyans without longform Birf Certificats. It never really happened.

"By the way, are you thirsty? How about buying -- before we raise the prices again -- some of our special Republican, um, "water"? - Republicans (R)

[Scurrilous]

7. I read somewhere that the Dust Bowl was the worst natural disaster in US history.

Thanks for the heads up!

thanks for the reminder!

11. No matter the lies Republicans tell, this reality show will hit home

You will have to be a WORLD CLASS SUCKER to go on believing the lies
Republicans tell about global climate change -- past or present or future.

[malaise]

12. I sure hope so

Here we go!
