On a related note, a friend who makes observations for these sort of things started noticing numerous red robins locally within the past couple of weeks (here in August when temps are routinely triple digit) and he noted that he NEVER sees red robins around here until January and then they're only here locally for about a week before they begin to migrate back north.

maybe this is the big winter they're waiting for to unleash "it." maximum number of people freezing to death.

As well as folks less likely to be moving about or otherwise outside. Which reminds me, I'm needing to get a winter trigger for my m1a.

time for me to dig out the snow camo ghille suit.

I'll start shaving ice and pack the freezer full of snowballs, as a last resort.

Thanks for the heads up!

It's always best to cull the herd in the winter, everybody knows that.

I stopped in an army surplus store today to look around. I ended up buying a new USA made Army issue digicam field jacket for $30.
Couldn't beat the price, so I figured I'd beat the rush.
Still 80's and upper 80's here, but I know cool weather is coming.

Yep, is going to be a cold winter....as a matter of fact, I just came back from the outside where I was wearing a light jacket, but of course, anything in the 60 degrees area to me is winter brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

By the way, running down my left arm I now have a white line from the birbed wire cut.

It's been the coldest summer on record in the arctic above 80 degrees north, and the record goes back to 1959, what you see is this years temperature compared to the average since 1959.

I do believe that this will be a cold winter, however, I don't use the Farmer's Almanac as my source.

There was a nice gem at the bottom.


Also in this year's edition, editor Peter Geiger is leading a campaign to get people to ditch the penny, like Canada is doing.


Past campaigns have focused on moving Thanksgiving to harvest time in October, reconsidering "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the national anthem and changing the color of money. This time, Geiger thinks he has a winner.

The solar cycle is the very weak...there is a natural rise and fall in the amount of power the sun supplies to Earth.

When the cycle is weak...the gradual rise and fall cycle turns violent...so a climate collapse is going to happen leading into the future.
