And we get:
Airplanes crashing into tower condos.
Boats hitting one another yet alone a high-volume traffic bridge!!!
Homeless folks keeping warm and burning a bridge thus shutting it down for extreme repairs.
Mud and Rock slides on famous "Sea-to-Sky" Highway which will be used a lot for Olympic 2010 and forces people to stay put for 1 1/2 days to get clear to make way back home.
We rain, snow, freezing temps and sunshine.
... the list goes on ... wonderful place to live no doubt!

Gary that would be global warming, but that's not panning out for the powers that be. The reason it's so cold is that it's "climate change" caused by my astro van...
