@#9 ... What's not going to happen to those regions if the last election goes the other way? ...

So, your current alias seems to openly admit it has not a clue about climate change.

If the last election had gone the other way, then the US would likely have gone on a path towards a better future regarding climate change.

For example, instead of Pres-elect trump saying, "drill baby drill" to apparently promote fossil fuels, allowing better sources of energy, such as, e.g., wind turbines.

I could go on, but at this point, yer current alias is up ...

What's it got?

@#12 ... Beverly the ------- MAGAT bitch ...

So... I am not the only one here who has noticed a significant change in the nature of the posts here by that, what I now call a, current alias?

Looking back, in the past I had lauded eberly (and, yes, all lower-case seems to be how that alias presented itself to this most august site) for the comments it had posted.

But now, it just seems to be focused more upon disruption than contribution.

imo, of course.

@#16 ... Blocking the sewer of the "Nooner" likely just made the --- back up into the house. ...
[my asterisk]

It seems that way.

And, having to call the local Arc-O-Rooter service recently, well I will say I agree.

Fortunately, the house monitoring system I have flagged the unexpected appearance of water on the basement floor.

So, a minute or two after I flushed the toilet that morning, I know I had a problem to resolve. I got text messages and emails.

Long story short (too late for that?)

The Arc-O-Rooter tech told me that the camera showed tree roots 78 feet into my sewer line, and that he had cleared that blockage.

I do give major credit to that Arc-O-Rooter tech. Yeah, he could have just cleared the blockage, but his talking with me, taking the time to explain things was some I did not expect to occur.

OK, I have digressed, big time. Apologies.
