Hello Hypothermia

The sunshine smiled on us today. As did whatever force of nature was responsible for our 55 glorious degrees, the calm winds, and the rapidly disappearing snow.

But what oh what did we do to deserve tomorrow's agony?! High of 34 early, dropping like an anvil (onto our heads as though we were Wile E. Coyote himself), gale force winds blowing and drifting whatever snow is expected to dump all over us.

Tomorrow night's low? -10

My brain is frostbitten just imagining.

So I'm escaping. If only to my virtual portal to tropical island wonderment.

You can too. Click here for a directory of popular beachcams from such places (and their forecast high temps for tomorrow) as:

St. Croix -- 81
Nassau -- 74
St. Lucia -- 82
Cayman Islands -- 80
Aruba -- 86 (but it'll feel like 92)

And take heart. Only about 120 days until Iowa's average high temp reaches 80 degrees. (I hope you live farther south than I do.)

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
