I'm guessing Ted Cruz is taking off for Alaska to abandon his constituents in this emergency like before!!!

I'm not really concerned about this as long as it doesn't effect drag shows in Grammer schools. We must have priorities!

That guy crashing his car after his kid died while hiking in 119°F heat is some serious Darwin Award stuff. 😅

In Florida it was 93 degrees yesterday. I continuously see people wearing jackets and beanies in the heat all the time. Im always confused about it but Its always teenagers and I think they would rather look "cool" than be cool. I'll never understand it.

Why don't we know that our atmosphere is diminishing due to over-consumption of molecular oxygen from burning carbon based fuels? Why the sky is violet and then blue?

We will soon get to the point it seems where winter is the time everybody plays outdoors. And summer where the streets are bare, everyone hunkers in their homes from the sweltering heat & the ACs grinding.
