Global Cooling

Thanks to Dan for this article on IBDeditorials.com that may describe this crazy winter:
Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle. But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet. The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a Maunder Minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century.
Such an event occurred in the 17th century. The observation of sunspots showed extraordinarily low levels of magnetism on the sun, with little or no 11-year cycle.
This solar hibernation corresponded with a period of bitter cold that began around 1650 and lasted, with intermittent spikes of warming, until 1715. Frigid winters and cold summers during that period led to massive crop failures, famine and death in Northern Europe.
So, which do you believe in: Global Warming or Global Cooling?
Either way, let’s remember:
Job 9:7 – If [God] commands it, the sun won’t rise and the stars won’t shine.

This week has been a week of coming up for air.
Monday I just chilled for the day and worked a little on taxes. I even watched Regis and Kelly with my wife.
The rest of the week I have been playing catch up. This year, I made a resolution to zero out my inbox daily. What that means is that each day before I go home, I try to respond to all my emails. That only worked until the second week of the last series at Riverview. Then, the pile got too much to handle. Today, I got through all my messages.
Now I can go back to trying to zero out my messages each day.
All has been delightful.
Until iTunes popped this album cover up on my screen.
Now I’m just creeped out.

Sorry for the slow blogging. I have been slammed with message and building stuff. For now, this quote (via John) will have to suffice:
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
-Douglas Adams
