#1 We missed or played hooky wid our Calibration + Certification times again, didn't we???

Its either that, or we flunked our Geography, etc. becuz the YELLOWSTONE SUPER-VOLCANO/CAVERA is actually in the GREAT LAKES.

#2 Meanwhile in the real world, the Southern Hemisphere is rapidly cooling. Antarctic Sea Ice is at a record high with several weeks to go before the ice extent peaks.

#4 Big deal, Frank. What was it - like 69 instead of 72?

San Diego weatherman has to be the most boring job in the world: "What's it going to be today, Frank?" Nice. "What's it going to be tomorrow?" Nice.

When San Diego goes above 75, the weather service issues heat advisories. When the temperature goes below 65, they warn people to bundle up.

#5 Snark is accurate (see: Lewis Black's take) , and no whining here :-)

actually I work all over, right on the bay right now, but live inland ("the sticks") also known as Inland Valleys. My area is usually mid 90's in late July and was around 78-80 avg, In August - Sept, we're usually at or above 100 (to 115). Today's the first day I put on AC - humidity from Mexico's monsoon season and 97 degrees. I have an autopay gas/electric bill based on prior usage, and I'm showing a credit all year long to date

#6 Small navigational error - they orbited the satellite around Venus rather than Earth. :-)
