The weather map of the United States this week
was red, from coast to coast.
Everywhere, unrelenting heat.
People have died in California,
power has browned out hither and yon,
and in the mountains of Western North Carolina,
we've run our air conditioning
several nights in a row.
It seems like a good time
to recommend a movie.
Watch it in the air conditioning,
with an ice cold soda.
Or stay home in the shade
and read the book.
Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."
It doesn't matter your political party
or your left or right or middling leanings.
We all need to think this through and
start paying attention.
