May is the wettest month

April may the cruelest month, but May definitely is the wettest, at least in Central Texas. Think of Austin at the center of the circle and you have the radar situation last night a little after eleven. This morning the rancho had received almost an inch in twenty-four hours. But Tow, near Lake Buchanan, had had almost four inches. No rising lakes yet, and none forecast. I like the rain. It keeps the nights cool. The only bad part is that it makes the grass in the upper forty grow faster.

UPDATE:  Some others weren’t so lucky, mainly south, north and east of us. We missed it all.

"Oooh, so Mother Nature needs a favor?! Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys! Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she’s losing. Well I say, hard cheese." — Mr. Burns

The $100,000 man

The Gorebot’s fixed fee these days is a hundred thou for one his "environmental multimedia" lectures, presumably on the Global Warming Scam. The Smoking Gun has a copy of his standard contract, complete with the stipulations that there be no questions, no news media allowed in the hall, and he gets to approve all photographs before they are released. He must be gaining weight again.

Scorcher

It’s 90 degrees this afternoon. Yipes. It’s only April. But the polar jet already is retreating and the sub-tropical jet is pushing north, according to meteorologist Mark Murray of KVUE. A couple of fronts will try to get in later this week, and interact with a flow of warm. moist air off the Gulf of Mexico. But the sub-tropical jet, Mark says, will keep any cooling down and rain chances small. Rats.

Take that, Gaia!

The Great Global Warming Swindle

The docu answer to the Gorebot’s scam. I wonder if this’ll be showing in the schools? Probably not. Think of all the thousands of people who would thrown out of work if the scam was allowed to die. Not to mention Gore himself.

Another little temperature problem

Hey, Al, the oceans don’t seem to be warming. Even National Progressive Radio has noticed.
