There's lots more where that came from.
With wind-chill, temperature today in Lawrence is a brisk 25. Yesterday afternoon, I was walking around campus in shirt-sleeves because it was 70. Lots of talk on NPR last night about global warming; an interesting note: The ice caps are melting faster and faster because as they melt, more ice - reflective stuff - converts into water, absorbtive stuff, thus accelerating the melting. If they were to completely melt, something that could happen within our lifetime, the oceans would rise about 100 feet (or 300, depending on who's talking).
Kansas: Oceanfront property!

Lex Luthor: Miss Teschmacher, when I was six years old my father said to me...
Miss Teschmacher: "Get out."
Lex Luthor: Ha ha. Before that. He said, "Son, stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse. People are no damn good, but they will always need land and they'll pay through the nose to get it! Remember," my father said...
Otis: "... land."
Lex Luthor: Right.
