#1 Fun Facts to Know and Tell:

The lowest recorded temperature for January in Minnesota was on Jan 24th 1904 (ironically todays date) it was a balmy −57 °F (−49 °C).

The highest recorded temperature in Minnesota for Jan 24th was in 1981.
Temps reached 69 °F (21 °C).

Now in 2008, on Jan 24th, temperatures dropped to −31 °F.

I believe in Climate changebecause it changes all the time.

Cold day; got up to about two and a half degrees before it fell down and gave up. Im used to it. I get up, check the temp ONE and shrug. You get used to anything. If it rained flaming hamsters every morning youd walk to the bus stop with a steel umbrella and a shovel.

#5 Dumbass Al is in Davos Switzerland spouting his swill to the other limp wrists. Too bad he isn't visiting Minnesota. Maybe Icerigger could take him out ice fishing. Be a shame if he got too close to the hole and slipped under.

#6 The USG + NASA, etc. has reportedly delayed MOON PLANS in favor of further exploration of MERCURY and prob VENUS. As said or inferred before, MERCURY-VENUS exploration > IMO is PDeniable "cover" for close-up information collection = spot study of the Sun's current + projectable/LT state vv GLOBAL-PLANETARY WARMING. THE USA HAS ALREADY BEEN TO THE MOON - USG-NASA, etc DESIRE "CERTAINTY" ABOUT THE SUN, i.e. STATUS QUO versus SOLAR EXPANSION.

OVERT MISSION - Planetary Study for future human exploration-colonization.
COVERT/TRUE MISSION - the Sun.
