Today is your day Boomer! There is something about this new world that I have to emphasize. Climate change means wacky weather, every season, whether we like it or not. So....if you're a Boomer winter enthusiast who loves to ski, snowshoe, and skate, you just have to wait. Winter is coming, but not officially until December 21. I know, I know....you want snow and lots of it! But think back to last fall when we got a huge dump in early November and ski hills were jumping for joy. This year, nothing so far, with warmth and days in the valley bottoms filled with "other" Boomer activities to enjoy like hiking, biking, and tennis. I say the same thing about forest fires in BC's Okanagan and floods in the Lower Mainland....both connected to global warming. They'll happen, but not every year to the same intensity. Let's face it, human exploitation of fossil fuels is screwing up our world; we have to roll with the punches, expect the unexpected when it comes to weather, and continue to encourage our political leaders and industry to gradually switch to alternative energy sources. Such is our new reality Boomers....
