Jan 2015

have to live as long in the shit storm that is here already. i live in Alaska and have seen a December in the 40's and a January where it is just now getting down toward zero but we haven't hit it. We have no snow.

Usual December through March where I live: -10 to -30 with between 4-8 feet of snow. I am down to nothing here. I dread the future and because they had their chance to bury us all, this vote actually brings tears to my eyes.

They can't stand against any environmental initiatives because of their insistence that it isn't happening. They ended that today. I feel slightly better for the young ones now. Thanks for this post.
