So...If we make it through December we'll be fine?

Just when you thought the only thing to fear in December 2012 was the end of the Mayan calender and subsequent apocalypses, enter into the news fray this item of importance: Ben Bernanke is warning the nation of impending doom. A ‘fiscal cliff’ .. coming in January 2013…right as the new years eve ball (hopefully) drops on a nation that is relieved they weren’t destroyed by fire and brimstone.

So is it a relief when Ron Paul predicts that the FED will self destruct…?

Not at all, I suppose. The cliff just gets more steep..

A leap day to remember--and forget.. and recover from all the same..

I am beginning to get a very eerie feeling about this spring and summer coming up. If tornadoes are already occurring this bad (12 killed as violent storms ravage Midwest, South…) I think they will get even worse over the next few weeks and month or two.

We have had an abnormally warm winter. While few complained about unseasonably high temperatures all year with no measurable snow, I did worry. I wanted the snow to create springtime melting and growth.. I wanted the cold to kill the flu, bugs, and ticks. Nothing of that nature occurred. Bugs are already creepy and crawling.. ticks never went away..and the flu? Everyone is sick. Warmth like this isn’t good.

And now the deadly tornado outbreak today and tonight. I didn’t go to Penn State for meteorology, but as sure as I can say that Joe Bastardi is on my twitterfeed I know this: Storms this big and strong this early is foreboding. Supercells that decimate entire towns in winter..? Well just imagine what the spring will bring.

The leap day tornado outbreak started today.. and as of tonight it continues…

Hope I’m wrong.
Really. I hope I’m wrong.
