I will go with you Jeff, my second album was Boston. Both KISS Destroyer and "Boston" came out in 76' and I was twelve. I had to mow alot of lawns to afford those $12 vinyl LP's.
Was it this one Jeff?
I remember listening to my parent's Hawaii Five-O album. Love them drums!

short version: global temperatures will drop slightly this year as a result of the cooling effect of the la nina current in the pacific, un meteorologists have said.
the world meteorological organizations secretary-general, michel jarraud, told the bbc it was likely that la nina would continue into the summer.. this would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.. but experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.. the wmo points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on record.

ABSTRACT
The huge warming of the Arctic that started in the early 1920s and lasted for almost two decades is one of the most spectacular climate events of the twentieth century. During the peak period 1930–40, the annually averaged temperature anomaly for the area 60°–90°N amounted to some 1.7°C. Whether this event is an example of an internal climate mode or is externally forced, such as by enhanced solar effects, is presently under debate. This study suggests that natural variability is a likely cause, with reduced sea ice cover being crucial for the warming. A robust sea ice–air temperature relationship was demonstrated by a set of four simulations with the atmospheric ECHAM model forced with observed SST and sea ice concentrations. An analysis of the spatial characteristics of the observed early twentieth-century surface air temperature anomaly revealed that it was associated with similar sea ice variations. Further investigation of the variability of Arctic surface temperature and sea ice cover was performed by analyzing data from a coupled ocean–atmosphere model. By analyzing climate anomalies in the model that are similar to those that occurred in the early twentieth century, it was found that the simulated temperature increase in the Arctic was related to enhanced wind-driven oceanic inflow into the Barents Sea with an associated sea ice retreat. The magnitude of the inflow is linked to the strength of westerlies into the Barents Sea. This study proposes a mechanism sustaining the enhanced westerly winds by a cyclonic atmospheric circulation in the Barents Sea region created by a strong surface heat flux over the ice-free areas. Observational data suggest a similar series of events during the early twentieth-century Arctic warming, including increasing westerly winds between Spitsbergen and Norway, reduced sea ice, and enhanced cyclonic circulation over the Barents Sea. At the same time, the North Atlantic Oscillation was weakening.
i am just finished with day 1 of a 2 day training seminar with the state chapter of madd...... sitting in a room of 30 people, fully one third have lost a first degree relative in a drunk driving collision.
the women i sat between had each lost a son..... one's son would have been 31 next week had he not been killed at 1 and the other lost her 18 year old son 2 years ago, an elite football player, honor roll student well liked and deeply mourned by his schoolmates, coaches and teachers..... killed by a serial offender who never finished highschool .... two other teens were seriously injured but survived.... he was sentenced to 26 years...... my state, the self-proclaimed beer and bratwurst capitol of the world, is dead last in the dots report on progress being made in reduction of alcohol related deaths from traffic collisions.

It was a drunk driver that ultimately ended my career in EMS and left me with severe low back pain for 24 years. The guy that smashed into my ambulance never did a day in jail. At least 2-3 times a week somebody dies in my state from DUI. Despite the tough laws it is still happening. Much more needs to be done and the consequences need to be far more severe.
A friend of mine lost his drivers license for six years and just got it back two weeks ago and is allready drinking again. Pathetic!

KISS Destroyer. A few weeks later my mom found it and threw it out. And of course I got the demonism lecture yada-yada blah-blah. I bought it again but put it inside the Beach Boys - Pet Sounds jacket.
Send in the clowns!
just saw where charleton heston died from unspecified causes!
He was 84, could have been anything but he did have Alzheimers.
obviously by my post title you can gather that i don't, but thats not to say i do not agree with lowering pollution in whichever way we can.
but on the flip side, just another money grabbing ploy by the government?
the uk government is making a big thing about it through their mouthpiece on earth, the bbc.

Decomposition and volcanoes do that also which means the earth allready has the ability to deal with it. Plain old rain is the primary mechanism employed along with plants who then convert it to O2.

Was it human activities that brought on the midieval iceage? Was it human activities that brought the earth out of it? Was it humans that gave us a cooler then average winter this year?
Why does every calamity have to be humans fault?

WAC, you climate heretic you! You just made CNN and Pastor Gore very angry! It's people like you that always ruin a great scam with the facts.

Who would have thought that the earth can cool it'self off? Or warm it'self up like it did after the mini ice age in the early 1300's?
