Greetings! We are expecting another day to reach the high
60s, if not 70 degrees, for our 2017 Saint Valentine’s Day in Georgia. I have
enjoyed running in the unseasonably warm afternoons of late. Sunday, I went for a run first thing in the
morning with a temperature of 64. It was
in the low 40s at the same time the previous day.
I live in a constant state of value conflict. I make no
effort to hide my distaste for cold weather. I am particularly fond of
unexpected warmer days in the winter. While at the same time, I have a strong commitment
to environmental preservation. I know the many warm winters we have had in
Georgia over the last decade are abnormal. Today, I learned that since the 1970’s
Mount Kilimanjaro has lost over 90% of its glacier. In time, this will have a major impact on the
climate of regions far beyond Kenya and the continent of Africa. Wonder if I’ll
appreciate spring like Februaries then?
Reduce your carbon footprint. Run.
Tom
