Good morning crew,
We have really been in a cold spell here, folks. It hasn't
been above freezing all week. Plus, we just got about six
inches of snow dumped on us last week with the threat of
more to come this week.
I read an interesting article recently which said that snow
actually helps combat global warming because the white snow
reflects a lot more solar heat (that is called its albedo)
while the much darker colors of brown grass, leafless trees,
asphalt, concrete, etc... absorb heat.
I guess that means snow angels, while fun to make, are also
environmentally friendly!
Laugh it up,
Joe

At the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle, there is a full
size mockup of an F/A-18 fighter. A ramp allows visitors
to climb into the cockpit and get a sense of what the pilot
sees and feels.
A guide at the top of the ramp points out the various
controls and gauges in the cockpit and gives information
about the aircraft's capabilities to each visitor who gets
in.
When my two-year-old son sat down in the plane, he seemed
fascinated by all he saw and heard. Then, he looked out at
us and said, "Gramma, could I have a quarter?"

An elderly parish priest was tending his garden near a
convent when a passerby stopped to inquire after the
priest's much-loved roses.
"Not bad," said the priest, "but they suffer from a disease
peculiar to this area known as the black death."
"What on earth is that?" asked the passerby, anxious to
increase his garden knowledge.
"Nuns with scissors."
