Subject: BS: DC - Spring in January
Today I saw and heard the geese flying in large formations the way they used to do in March. Certain sheltered Cherry trees and forsythia bushes are now blooming. Insects, some I have never seen before, are out and about.
I'm not saying global warming, afterall Exxon has invested 16 million dollars to have select scientists deny the existence of golbal warming but it is another balmy 64 F today as it has been all week. My sympathies to Kansas.
Along with these inconvenient truths, about two weeks ago there was a complete scrambling of all Andrew air force fighter jets to chase unvarified targets that were able to evade the jets at about for times the jets top supersonic speed. I heard the jets but did not see the bogies. However hundreds of people around here did see them. The only news coverage in DC regarding this incident was on WMAL where witnesses discribed the unusual objects in detail. Andrews officials reported that the exercise was routine.
