Weather Questions

I got a little behind on reading the paper and blogs due to my Internet connection being down. I have satellite Internet but it wasn't working quite right so they sent a guy out to fix it. He worked on it for 5 hours Friday night and when he was done it didn't work at all so he was back Saturday morning and worked another 6 hours on it and finally got it working. 11 Hours to fix a simple problem. Amazing.<br />n<br />nOnce I was looking things over last night I came across the story about <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/05/28/build/world/80-bigben.inc">Big Ben</a> having a few problems. Kind of reminds me of my Internet connection lately, doesn't work once in a while. What's interesting is they say it might have to do with unseasonable warm temperatures. Then the article about the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/05/28/build/nation/98-seattle-heat.inc">heat advisory</a> for Seattle struck me. The weather might be beautiful here but other places are suffering. Global warming, or is it just natural variations in the weather causing these things? Question I can't answer and I don't think anybody can but I guess someday we'll know.<br />n<br />n<b>The question of whether it's God's green earth is not at center stage, except in the sense that if so, one is reminded with some regularity that He may be dying.
