Title: Am I being paranoid about the weather???
Post by: Rata-tat-tat on June 27, 2013, 12:13:19 PM
Is it just me... or is anyone else freaked out about the weather patterns lately???  I'm not complaining one bit, but geeze!!! I'm in Alaska and we've been setting records for high temps (High 80's).... and to think just about a month ago we were getting pounded with snow!!! Unbelievable stuff!!! I think "The Man" needs to turn that machine off!!!

It does seem odd and getting stranger by the year. Monday and Tuesday it rained in my area (N. Calif) with the temperature in the 70's F. Today it will be in the high 90's and tomorrow we're heading for a week of triple digits. Strange swings in the weather indeed Rata. I'm with you...turn off the machine man!

Same here in the Uk. We are supposed to be in British summer time, what a joke. Miserable weather. Rain and more rain. Although we are getting a little teaser of sunshine now and then.

Last week we had beautiful weather. Sunny but cool, high pressure blue skies. The breeze passed through your bones like a bucket of boneless KFC original recipe!

every weather forecast on the tv for the last fortnight has been a barnyard mile out. they say it's goona rain get yer shorts on. the say it's gonna be sunny get yer wellies on. but i live in scotland and it's always been like that. i have probably written a score of songs about the scottish weather, here is one shamelessly bumped https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=7955.0 almost two years old, but i could have written it today the words are still apt.
and this yin too https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=7969.0   ;D ;D ;D

An asteroid almost hit us and the moon was close. Those are my theories. Oh and we`re destroying the world with pollution and garbage. That might be a factor too.  :o

Alberta, Canada got flooded large. Luckily that oil province has enough money to clean up the mess.

I think Dmann is from Calgary. I hope his gear ain`t swimming

There is a 100% chance that a doomsday asteroid will hit the earth at some point. It has already happened and will happen again. All life on the planet will be wiped out.

Kind of creepy, huh?

if it already happened does that mean we are just a dream?

Yes it could be and our universe could be one grain of sand on a beach in another universe.
The song is shaping more!  ;D

I'd like to explain that humankind didn't exist yet, but I'm not sure how far that will get me...

That's why it's vital to establish colonies on Mars and other planets. It's the only way to ensure the survival of the human race.

You can leave me out of the Mars trip... I'd rather stay here and enjoy the fireworks!!! When I come back in the next life... I wanna be one of my wife's dogs... The most they have to do all day is lick themselves... and the only thing they have to worry about is me coming home to walk them... Or which one of us they are gonna drive batty until we feed them... I would finally have achieved being master of my domain!!!! MWWWWAAAAAAAAhHHHHHHAAAAAAA HHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!

I cant complain about the weather. Hot in the day and cool at night.
I can understand Rata's situation but for me, like the old saying goes.
Every day is a good day when you are above ground !

Big storm here yesterday. Lots of flooding and i had no power for 9 hours.

Very rare for these parts but i think we are not safe anywhere anymore.

Luckily i had my battery powered br-80 and guitar to get me through the night.

Yeah, I just heard about that on the BBC News site. Looks pretty bad. I'm guessing it's the worst flooding in TO since Hurricane Hazel in 1954.

I hope you didn't find your amp floating in the basement or anything like that.

I took that bump bait hook, line and sinker - What an awesome tune!

What a coincidence that I finally recorded that tune. Thanks for the bump and comment Stepping Stone bros.
 No i was unscathed in the water situation. Just in the dark but it was actually peaceful.

 A lot of insurance claims will be in this week. And what will happen? Everyone wil pay anyway when they jack the rates!
I heard in the news some guy bought a brand new Ferrari and had to walk away from it under water on the highway.
