The Flamingos like to travel when they can so now we have a seasoned 37 ft. Bounder RV to start our adventures in.I love to garden, paint, write, travel and cook and take pictures to prove it. Life has been on hold until my Mother passed on to her next life on Oct.9 2014. Now It is time to travel as I heal emotionally by returning to Gourmet cooking, Art and writing about our adventures on the road.

An Ill Wind is Blowing from the UN
The weather debate is about to reach pandemic proportions. How many of you really honestly believe we are in the middle of global warming? Now come on people, really think about it because our president is about to go to Copenhagen in December and sign the United Nations Climate Change Treaty that would cede US sovereignty. You need to look up that treaty and read what it says. Then go and look up The Supremacy Clause in the US Constitution (Article VI, paragraph 2). This clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and U.S. TREATIES as the supreme law of the land. Concerns have been raised in the past that a particularly ambitious treaty may supersede the US Constitution. That time is coming pretty fast.
I’m 56 and I can remember all of the textbooks and teachers and scientists of the time saying we were headed toward a mini-ice age again. Then somewhere along the line during the eighty’s I suspect, the word got out that we were in the midst of global warming. The temperatures are rising, the ice caps are melting, there is a hole in the ozone. There is the greenhouse effect with carbon dioxide.
Guess what! When YOU breathe in oxygen YOU exhale (GASP!) CO2! Trees and other plants absorb the CO2 and they produce (GASP!) oxygen! All of God’s creatures breathe in oxygen and exhale CO2. Now with all of this talk about ‘carbon footprints’ just what is the government going to do? Tax the human race for breathing?
I was reading several papers (that were inadvertently humorous) about the amount of methane gas that one single cow produces in a day. It was astonishing. One standard full grown cow ‘emits’ up to 1000 liters of gas. So there is now talk being bandied about in Washington and in the Green Circles of taxing the cattle owners because their animals are contributing to the green house effect. What about the parents of little boys? Are they going to tax them because the kid has gone on a school trip and ate a bunch of hotdogs or whatever and spent the rest of the time grossing out the other kids with their gaseous emissions?
Is the New World Order going to tax the countries or states that have volcanoes and hot springs? When Mount St. Helens erupted in May of 1980 it blew a hole in the ozone that was phenomenal and the CO2 it belched out was record breaking! So is all of Washington state and all of Hawaii going to have to pay for being in the ring of fire?
So what happened to Global Warming? I am sure you are wearing long sleeves this week as I am, and probably have turned the heater on in the early morning. The hot cup of coffee is probably warming your hands as you read this. This may come as a bit of a surprise, the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998! And before that, the hottest years on record were 1921, 1931 and 1934. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures and the climate models put out by the climate warming gurus did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.
The people in the state of Montana were probably wondering about global warming just last week when why were watching the temps plummet and the snow fall as they were standing in front of their fireplaces wearing their thermals.
So what on Earth is going on with our Earth? Climate change skeptics, who passionately and consistently argue that man’s influence on our climate is overstated, say they saw it coming. They argue that there are natural cycles, over which we have no control, that dictate how warm the planet is.
So I throw this challenge out to you, go to your library, grab an encyclopedia, get on the internet, call your congressman, I don’t care which, but check into the UN Climate Change Treaty. It is a nasty bit of business and does not have your best interest at the heart of it.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t recycle, you should. I’m not saying you should be wasteful and harm your environment. But you better wake up and smell that hot coffee you are holding in your cold hands because an ill wind is blowing and it is not the perfect storm.
