As you’ve probably already heard, not only has Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels issued and executive order banning city employees from using their Concealed Pistol Licenses while on city property, but the Seattle Parks Board is getting ready to ban campfires on the park beaches.
Not because of fire danger. Fer chrsakes, they’re on sand.
No, they want to stop people from roasting marshmallows in the dark to try and fight Global Warming.
The same Global Warming that is the cause of what is being called “June Gloom 2008”. Basically, June is going to be more like April than June here in the Pac NW.
It is currently snowing on Snoqualmie Pass.
It is less than two weeks before the first day of summer and they only opened Chinook Pass last Thursday
FYI: This is what Chinook Pass looked like last November. Also, the usual opening day is right near Easter. Memorial Day is considered “very late”.
I suspect that this new batch of snow will close it down again.
Is AlGore somewhere nearby, and if so, can he please leave soon? I’d like to get my summer on.
Hmpf. We’ve got plenty to go around down here. Our A/C just died, and it will be about two weeks before we get a replacement (I’m upgrading to a Trane). So it’s currently about 85 degrees in the house, with the house fan on bringing in 75-degree air from outside. I’ll be able to sleep when it gets to about 70 or so.
