GLOBAL COOLING!
70 Views

I was listening to the Neal Boortz show today and he noted this...
According to our satellites over Earth...The Earth is actually been COOLING over the past few years...
The physicists say the warming of Earth is from the Sun and it's flares etc.
Do with it what you may...but I have always agreed with a local physicist here and others that this Global Warming verbage, that is going around, is just another way to get more taxes out of us! Carbon tax...I am waiting for a methane gas tax!!! Will they tax farmers for the methane from their cows? What about the human methane? Will we be taxed for expelling gas?
Be careful what you ask for....you may get it!
Just think...if this Global Warming stuff is actually believed by the majority..you will have more taxes...
The coal industry will be closed down and hundreds of thousands will lose their jobs...and electricity prices will go through the roof! And from where will this electricity come??
Sure I believe in recycling and doing what I can for the environment but I abhore people using a good cause to make money! Huge amounts of money...for whom???

Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh....it is all true...
Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!
01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Sack Lunches ref: our military and one good man

From the Boaz Report online
This was sent to me by my director...heart warming...I do love our Military!
The Sack Lunches
The following story was shared with me by a regular subscriber to this newsletter. As that person related, he did not know if it was true.
With his permission, I've chosen to pass it along with the thought that other people, including me, will look for an opportunity to do the same thing. Here's the story he passed along:
I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.
Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation. 'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to me.
'Chicago - to Great Lakes Base. We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're being deployed to Iraq'.
After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we reached Chicago, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time.
As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. 'No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks. I'll wait till we get to Chicago.' His friend agreed.
I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill. 'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. 'My son was a soldier in Iraq; it's almost like you are doing it for him.'
Picking up the sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, 'Which do you like best - beef or chicken?'
'Chicken,' I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class. 'This is your thanks.'
After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room. A man stopped me. 'I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.' He handed me twenty-five dollars.
Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked. I hoped he was not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane. When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand, and said, 'I want to shake your hand.'
Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain's hand. With a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.' I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.
Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.
When we landed in Chicago I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!
Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. 'It will take you some time to reach the base. It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.'
Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers. As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals.
It seemed so little...
Boaz Note: I don't know about you, but I found it very hard to read this story without getting a few tears in my eyes. From now on, when I get on a flight, I'm going to look for an opportunity to bring this story to life.
**((and remember...these guys (maybe some gals) VOLUNTEERED to join the Military to protect their Constitution and YOU!))
