My calendar says March, but the thermometer claims April. Winter was in the range of ”blink and you’ll miss it”…I went for a walk, thought I would check out the scenery from the Eagle Mountain lookout. When I got there, I found the place occupied by two snowmobiles, so I continued without stopping. I guess those snowmobilers want to be out all they can now, with what the season starting unseasonally late and ending unseasonally early. I don’t have any numbers to support me, but I reckon that the snowmobile sales are on the decline. Please excuse me if I don’t shed a tear. The snowmobile manufacturers can spend a moment reflecting on the fact that their machines contribute to their own extinction. Talk all you want about the 4-stroke engines replacing the 2-stroke ditto, but to me it sounds like an awful racket and the smell ain’t sweet. Translate that smell to CO2 and you get my drift…

Before you say that the snowmobiles only contribute a fraction of the CO2 from cars and industry and households and I’m just guilty as the next person, spare your words. It was just an observation, and there’s really no need for fingerpointing because the fingers would only be pointing at all of us.

A scientist has calculated that if we all stop breathing, we could stop global warming. Personally, I’ve always thought that the biggest problem with this planet is all the people on it.

Who goes first?
