Ice Age
Scooter thinks a new Ice Age is coming so I had to explains the situation to him:
A Monark Butterfly named Hank flapped into some fermented rag weed in Oklahoma, had a wild night. Hung over the next morning, Hank heads north against all the other Monarks , who fly south this time of year, causing a conflagration of molecules. At that exact moment the Greenland Ice Pack released a big berg causing an opposing conflagration of molecules. The result, of these two seeming unrelated events , is what we scientist call a minus zero cyclonic F--k up. In other words a cold spell. Turn out there is a vacuum hole in the atmosphere funneling cold air directly from the North Pole to Charleston, SC and if that damn Hank will just start flying south again we'll go back to hot and humid weather. In the mean time, I'm sitting around the house protecting my bald head with my watch cap while Scooter shivers under two or three blankets.
