I had been curious about sand
surfing, so this last Fall, on
our way to the Maldives, we
stopped in Dubai and drove out to
the desert to try it. I can tell
you that the scary thing wasn’t
sand surfing but rather driving
up to the highest dunes to get
decent pitch for your ride. As

From January 5th’s AMNewYork:

“You can blame El Nino, global
warming or blind chance, but
today marks the longest New York
City has gone into the season
without snowfall since 1878, when
it finally snowed on Jan. 4th.”

What do they mean, “… or blind
chance?” This seems
suspiciously like an attempt to
keep everyone from getting too
worried about global warming.

Of course you can blame blind
