Snickup in Lampassas

Nice town, Lampassas. Just a few score miles northwest of the rancho, actually. The snickup referred to, to use Mr. Boy’s term, is by the federal government, of course: A government temperature sensor right smack in the middle of the urban heat island. Brilliant. Result? An artificial warming trend. One more part of the Global Warming Scam beloved by politicians, like Al Gore, who have nothing better to do. Like closing the border or winning the war. A previous example shows Lampassas is not alone.

Thanks to Rene’s Apple.

UPDATE: Despite such obvious flaws in the ointment, the Californicators want to teach GW in the schools.

I said in the previous post that the drought was "savage," and then began to wonder if I was exaggerating. This might be a trifle hard to read as I had to compress it a little to get it on the page where I want it. But it shows that Central Texas, indeed, is in severe to extreme drought, and things haven’t improved in the four days since the graphic was made by NOAA. Driving around Lake Travis yesterday to get the photo below, I kept seeing signs warning about the potential for grass fires. Lots of houses back in the brush. Amazes me I have not heard of any of them burning up in grass or brush fires in at least twenty-eight years. 

We’re havin’ a heat wave
