I heard some guy on edjamacaitional teevee say that we've already
passed the point of no return. The "global warming", the melting of the
ice caps, the increase of sea level depth by 5 or 10 meters or
whatever, is inevitable, no matter _what_ humans do. Even if all human
activity was stopped, and we all died and didn't need to decompose, it
wouldn't change the fact that the ice caps are melting regardless.

Gosh, our new building (42 feet above sea level) will soon be
beachfront property! I'll see babes in bikinis from my office!


I'm in Whittier, at about 150' elevation, so I'll still have some walk to
the beach. ;-)


I was in Whittier on March 4 for the wedding of a ne'er-do-well nephew.

I doubt that I'll ever return ;-)


I wish I'd known you were coming - my B'day was(is?) 3/3 - you could have
stopped by and bought me a drink. ;-)

But, admittedly, I can attest that by not hanging around Whittier, you
haven't missed much. ;-)

Cheers!
Rich
