Ah, global warming!
Snow in November,
Snow in October,
Blizzards in April,
A cooler year now then a few years gone by.
Yes, indeed, global warming!
The world must be getting hot!
"'Tis a danger," some insist, but I say "'Tis not!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, we have had a blizzard in April, years ago, before I can remember, but other, older people do remember such a thing, and I think that it was around 15-25 years ago. Don't quote me on that, though.
Last year or the year before, we had enough snow on Thanksgiving to make a good-sized snow man. And right now, October 31, there is a lovely snowman in my yard. It was built on the 30th. There was around four inches of snow. Please keep in mind that Pennsylvania can be unpleasent because of humidity, not cold!
Yes, global warming is heating up the earth, is it not?
Thanks-Marie

Hi, Marie here, the new poster for this blog, since The Big One, GS is too old to participate in regular club activities and also too old too post on this blog, except for maintenance. Here is a video that I compiled from different pictures and parts of videos. I'm afraid that you might recognize the pictures, but the next video I do, I'll try to get original pictures.
Thanks-Marie

9/11 Ten Years Later ( a view from a 12 year old Gen J Club of the Lehigh Valley Member)
This is a write up from one of our members.
Ten years ago, on 9/11/01, terrorists hijacked airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Center. Many, many, many, people were killed. I just saw some footage of the first Fox News report of it. At first, for those who don't know, they were just having a casual report. Then, they got the shocking report that an airplane had just flown into the World Trade Center. They said that it was an accident. But then, several minutes later, when they were disusing what could have caused this tragic crash, but then they saw live footage of another airplane crashing into the second tower, the west tower. This was no accident. This was a deliberate attack, as they quickly agreed. They were calm and efficient, but I wonder how calm they would have been off of the camera. One thing is for sure, their calmness is probably what kept many people calm themselves.
It took my breath away when I watched the ten-year-old video, and I cannot imagine how I would have reacted if I did not know what was going to happen, and if I did not know that this happened ten years ago. I am glad that I wasn't nearby at the time. I have no idea what I would have done, as I'm sure is the case with most of America's population. Most people would have panicked because of fright, confusion, and terror. And it is just as horrifying now as it was ten years ago.
I was two years old when this tragedy hit, and I kind of --sort of-- remember it, but that doesn't make it any less horrifying when I see the videos. To talk about it is one thing, but to see it... it's awful. No, more then just awful... There is no word to describe this.
I saw the plane hit the tower, and I saw the towers starting to weaken. That was all that I needed to see. I have read the rest. I know what happened.
Soon after this tragedy, many people prayed. They helped with charities. They enlisted. Now, on this tenth anniversary of those horrible attacks, let us get involved in such things again. The Christians have not stopped praying. But what about the charities? And not all of the terrorists have been stopped. There are still attacks. We still need soldiers. We still need help.
Please, people, Pray. Volunteer. Enlist. Help. Remember.

Andy Harris SAT 2010
This is a report that one of our Gen J of the Lehigh Valley members wrote. We are hoping to get photos and video shortly.
If you're talking about three people who made over 1,000 phone calls each, in one day and thousands of other phone calls on the same day all by a small group of teenagers spread out in two nearby campaign offices, then you're probably talking about the Generation Joshua Student Action Team (SAT) for Andy Harris in the Maryland Congressional election of 2010. Yes, some east coast SAT records were set with that election.
(I'm saying east coast because there was also another record breaking SAT in Vancouver, Washington, bigger records, probably bigger team, more than likely faster phone systems, just-as-hard workers, and the possibility that they didn't do door-to-door campaign work, but I'm not writing about it because I wasn't there).
There was a Maryland SAT record set on the day before the election with over 700 phone calls for one particular person, non-constant phone calling; and, on election day, all or most personal records were broken by most-or-all-of-the-day-calling by each volunteer. Three people even broke one thousand phone calls on election day (now, if you live in Maryland congressional district one you know who to blame for the pestering, but effective, phone calls).
Oh, did I mention that on most or all of the days we did door-to-door campaign work, and on some of the days sign waving? Now, keep in mind that the oldest regular student and record holder for a one-phone-at-a-time basis of calling for the Maryland SAT is 19; the others are younger, and many of them had no prior experience with phone banking. Besides, the team had only thirty-some people on it, and the team had many first-time-members on the SAT.
Nevertheless, with the phone banking, door-to-door (people are the most polite there), and sign waving, Harris won the election. That's the important thing. As for me, I didn't break any records except my own, but I was the youngest on the SAT (it was my first SAT) and got some pretty strange (and very long) phone calls, as did several others.
We were trying to get people who normally didn't vote or had forgotten the election to vote for Harris. The volunteer work is important and must be done, no matter how pestering it may seem. We made sure people didn't forget the election.
Anyway, I noticed that in spite of the not-so-friendly people that we would get over the phone, or yelling out of their cars at sign wavers, everyone seemed to be having fun. The Fire Pelosi rally was one of the best parts of the SAT, despite the angry people who were driving past.
Also, I noticed that many of the people I was in contact with over the phone seemed to think that I am an adult, and asked me who I was voting for. They were surprised that I was too young to vote and one was shocked at my age. That means that not enough people know about Generation Joshua. But that will change.
Anyway, it's amazing what a group of kids can do, and have fun doing, isn't it?
