Never Shoulda Read The Paper This AM . . .

Never shoulda read a newspaper this morning . . . but I did like I usually do almost every mornin.  It seems that the feds are goin to shoot barred owls in Washington, Oregon and Northern California because they are gettin in the way of the  northern spotted owls.  Makes sense to me ???? Eradicatin one type of owl to save another type of owl.  I suppose that in a few years the feds will be cryin about the low numbers of barred owls. 

Then there was this article on tornado forecasts.  They expect fewer than last year, which may have set records, but still above normal.  I read another article recently that there were something like 95 tornadoes during January of this year compared to 32 last year.  I'm wonderin what their track record is on this type of predictions.  

Myself, I'm gonna stick with the Farmer's Almanac and the NWS 5 day sever storm prediction maps (Click here to see today's map).  After followin them last summer, they are reasonably accurtate.
