Religion Straight Up

Frost appears on our lawn every 2-3 years

For most nights this year the low has been around 40 degrees, sometimes lower.

In other parts of the country those temperatures may seem positively balmy; however, this Honolulu native does not remember feeling this cold over such an extended period, and we've lived in the Bay Area over 40 years.

The scientists tell us the extreme chill is due to a "polar vortex", which is linked to climate change. It doesn't seem to matter whether we have a record-setting high or low, climate change is the answer to everything.

Tomorrow I'll be going to church and hear that Jesus is the answer to everything. That's why I like Sundays; in church they give you religion straight up.
