I am so fricken glad I live in Vacation-land. [View all]

Compared to 85% of the world, we've had a great climate over the past 50 years. I know, because I was bourn and grew up here. Sure, things have changed a lot from my world in 1965, but.....no where near where 70% of the US population and probably the world, has lived under for the past 25 years.

For that, I am thankful.
