Apocalypse? Global Warming? You decide.

Clue # 1: The bears are scarce.
Clue # 2: It is hot here. (80's)
Clue # 3: Thunder and lightning in Skagway
        Ancillary: Locals say its been ten years since last time. (I believe that is anecdotal estimate,
        not actual data.)
Clue # 4: Thunder and lightning in Skagway, again,  after only 24 hours.

Clearly, the frequency of T&L is increasing at an alarming rate regardless of the accuracy of the locals' recollections. Clearly, the number of bear sightings by drivers of tours in the area has declined. (The data are irrefutable, ask any of us.) Clearly, temperatures in the 80's are extreme in a place where buildings are not air conditioned.

But, are these signs of The End of Times? Is it Global Warming? Is it a terrorist plot? Is it creeping Socialism?
We must each search our souls, ask our friends, neighbors, and acquaintances, Google it, pray about it, meditate on it, and arrive at a consensus.
WE MUST TAKE ACTION! Fewer bears is unacceptable. The rest we can live with.

The bears are on Wall Street, affecting the stock market. The weather has been a mystery to man throughout history. And to woman, too, for that matter.
We're expecting 110 in Cottonwood on Friday and Saturday so no sympathy on the heat, except for no AC. I spent two nights in Flagstaff several years ago in an apartment without it and the temps were in the low 90's. Miserable! Moving hot air around with fans only helps if you have a bottle filled with water to spray on your skin every five minutes or so.
Probably creeping Socialism.
