I won't be quiet, go do it or get a kick in the nuts. The icecaps will be around long enough for you to complete this task. Though somehow I believe they will be long melted before you do complete it.<br><br>Your Noodly Master has spoken.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

I just got off the phone with my sister in Iowa and she said last week it was quite warm with a few tornado warnings. Tornado warnings in January!! I have no memory of anything of this sort happening before.<br><br>We are what we repeatedly do. -Aristotle

There have been tornados in Illinois in January before for example, but they have never been as far North as they were last week. It was a pretty anomalous event, but perhaps a little bit of a preview of the future climate if the jet stream cycles as drastically as it has been.<br><br>-- Charlie Alpha Roger Yankee Whiskey
