Careful What you Wish For

Ah, August. We languish in your eighty degree weather, knowing that we have another two months of heat! There are days when all we can think about is ice -- ice in our drinks, ice skating, sculptures, luge, glaciers, the greenhouse effect, which will only lead to more summer!

One Fontana man last Sunday had a large chunk of ice crash through his house, obliterating one of the chairs at his kitchen table. He was washing dishes nearby. His daughter claimed it sounded like two trucks had hit each other in the street. When his wife arrived home, seeing the hole, the debris everywhere, she laughed, relieved that no one had been in the chair.


It may be the result of megacyometeors, large blocks of ice that form in the atmosphere and then fall to earth, there will have to be more tests before they get to the bottom of this.

Perhaps, we've had enough of ice...maybe we should think of rain instead!
