Bill, I didn't say I liked it. I'm just not going to be overcome by it. I'll cope with the cold when it's cold, and with the heat when it's hot. I agree, the jet stream is getting weird. It's responding to changes in heat at the equatorial regions. I'm looking for this to be a killing Winter. There are already deaths blamed on the weather in the US so far. I don't doubt that it will get worse as the Winter proceeds. I don't intend to become a statistic. My larder is stocked and my heater works. I'm good as long as the electricity holds out. I may eat bean sprouts for fresh veggies, but I'm capable with that, too. :-)

If you don't care for reality, just wait a while; another will be along shortly. --A Rose
