The very idea/ concept of Gore as a speaker of “Truth to Power” is so absurd.

I'm still not feeling the warmth here in Southern Ontario, Canada- Official gardening date just two weeks away- Can't even get the tomatoes to "harden off "- Smaller then usual thanks to the lack of sun and heat..... Wind direction from the north east = colder then normalLake Erie levels, still high,  above average- No heat- No sun for evaporation.Also noticing a complete lack of spring bird babies- I should be seeing ducklings and goslings.
