    This thread is hilarious. Thanks for the laughs, guys.

    One thing I agree with you on is the sea level rising. I went to a meeting a couple of weeks ago about that very thing.
    As nearly as I can tell the property that we own along the northern part of the California coast will be under 6 inches of water...in about 200 years.
    I made a note on my calendar.

    Because California sucks.

    If this truck is in your mind to be described as “junk”, then I want some of what you’ve been smoking.

    Remember when California was where everybody wanted to end up? When did that end about 40 years ago?

    My guess would’ve been 140 years ago, as in Gold Rush. :biggrin_25523:

    The ice cubes in a glass of water test tells me otherwise, but even if that’s somehow wrong, I don’t buy it, so I don’t care.

    I live on the water 60 miles north of Norfolk, VA. I was supposed to be under water 15 years ago. Not a single centimeter of rise in my 45 years here yet the politicians in Norfolk are claiming disaster and asking for millions in government help.
    Nothing scares me more than law makers who claim to know how to change the weather, but I'm just a simpleton who they wish would just stop paying attention and just listen to what they say. My goodness.o_O
     
    Dino soar, Eldiablo and Rubber duck kw Thank this.

    What kind of difference have you seen? I've also lived on the water for 42 years, and haven't noticed any change what so ever.
     
    Eldiablo Thanks this.
