[Magdalen] This is nuts

[Ginga Wilder]

81F today and tomorrow in Summerville, SC; 85F predicted forTuesday and
Wednesday next week.  Summerville is known for our spring bloom - we even
have a Flowtown Festival every year the first weekend in April.  Well, the
azaleas are blooming now.

I heard somewhere that this is the 2nd warmest winter on record since
records have been kept.

Climate deniers have it wrong, very wrong.
