Around 1956 I Was Heading Out The Door Of Our Home In Lansing, Michigan, Mid Winter.
It Was Colder Than All "as usual"? And The Wind Was Blowing Directly In My Face.
About 2 Blocks From Home, And In Pain From The Cold, I Must Have Said "Screw This", So I Returned To The House.... 4 Of The Others Never Left The House, And Were Laughing At Me....So All Day We Played Cards ~ I Believe t Was Canasta...

Yes, Sir, on the mountain top in BURNS OREGON, during a raging cold spell Minus 34 degrees, blowing ice winds at 130 mph, we played some old records , cards & tried to stay warm in our Barracks. Thank God the barracks were oval in design, so the wind was not so much of a problem, until We tried to open the door, that was a mistake! I went on duty that day in my fatigues pants, no shirt, just my Air Force PARKA, HAD to hold on to the steel guide rail to get into the security bldg., never forget that one, WOW! OUR Alt power generators were kicking ass., & We were still fully OPERATIONAL, OBIDEN DOESNT UNDERSTAND THAT! SEMPER FI! OOHRAH!

You can't controul mother nature. Its too bad that Texas and Oklahoma couldn't get some of that moisture to help put out the fires. Here in Nebraska, it is so dry that we are having fires. No matter where you live, there is some problem with the weather. I don't believe with this global warming nonsense. Maybe God is showing us that he is the one who is in charge and not us.

YES, MY BROTHER LYLE I do remember in 1952, that my DAD began planting cotton 2 rows skipping one, to allow the o/s row to get more moisture, & it worked. Because He had to , there was a dry summer, & you did what You had to do.. GOD knows what we need before WE asked, but He takes care of us anyway.
