Yesterday — the first really warm day of spring around here — all the newspapers were full of gloom and doom: "Global Warming Cracks Antarctic Ice Shelf." (Buried way down in the story was the fact that this shelf sticks out from the rest of the ice pack, which is actually growing in size.) The folks reading the report from the sunny deck of the Coffee Exchange on Wickenden Street in Providence appeared to take the news in stride.Here in sunny Providence, at least, we had a really nice day. (The same date reached 75 degrees in 1922 in Providence, and 10 in 1960.) It's called the weather, and we might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
Next week is expected to be in the 20s around here. I don't know about Antarctica.OMG! "Sudden cold snap theatens apple crop" headlines ahead. LOL.
