-10 here and going lower

and my son flew down to St John Virgin Islands to help with construction... girlfriend is heading down this week to work as well... son said first thing he did was fix plumbing in apt building and also said the beaches were awesome!

happy for him to be able to help and be warm at the same time!

The scenic beauty of the U.S. Virgin Islands is breathtaking. But the destruction wrought by back-to-back hurricanes Irma and Maria is heartbreaking, and the time frame for a full recovery is still in limbo.

So who knows. All I know is that it is far too cold for my thin blood.

The weather guy used to say, "... and the high today will be ten below zero." Of course that meant that at night it got even colder. No, I don't like the snow!

and now it is 50 degrees. This is fucked up! Our future generations will never know what "normal" weather is/was. I either have on three layers and space heaters or A/C and a t-shirt. No wonder everyone's sick or has bizarre allergies this late into the year. This is the new "normal". Gov Brown is trying his best but this is bigger than him. A life of extremes and everything is and will be effected. I am SOOOO glad our Fed Govt recognizes this and is acting accordingly .

Ten years ago I was in Nice, France for Carnival and the theme was Climate Change. Thank goodness some countries are taking this seriously. China will surpass the US and we will be disgraced even further due to the fucking moron and the greedy GOP. Of course they do not care...that is what a sociopath is by definition.
