GRAND RIVER TRAIL

My day started with an appointment in Grand Rapids. My afternoon appointment took me to the capital city, Lansing.  After selling some buttons, I parked my car at a trailhead for the Grand River Trail. The weather was highly un-cooperative. I don't think that I had walked 200 steps before it started raining.  This did not stop me. The rain was intermittent, sometimes, pouring, and sometimes the clouds zipped away unwrapping a blue sky.  The blue skies were short-lived and it would start raining again. I chose to get wet rather than pack it in and race back to my car. I managed a 90 minute urban hike along the Grand River which would have been spectacularly more enjoyable had it been a nice day. I did log six miles. I realize that I have not exercised indoors since July 25th which was the last time that I spent time on an elliptical machine. I really enjoy being outdoors, and I am going to keep my outdoor streak going as long as I can.

One thing that I see everywhere...It appears that every topographical formation in the midwest can trace its existence to the melting of the continental glacier 12,000 years ago.  Back in those days was a time before the world's greatest hoax was foisted on mankind by un-educated and over-educated pseudo-scientists with a political agenda. Thank Goodness, Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, had not yet been released - or else the world's leaders, would have spent years trying to pass laws to prevent the glaciers from melting by outlawing carbon emissions caused by the wanton use of gasoline powered automobiles, boats and jet airplanes. Surely they would have tried to close all  of the numerous coal-burning power plants of the day. They probably would not have had to worry about the deforestation of North America as it is unlikely that there were too many forests thriving atop the glacier. Perhaps with the melting of the mile high glaciers, the sea levels did rise - lucky break for Mesolithic Era humans living inland who found themselves with more valuable ocean front property after a few decades. Global Warming may be real. It was certainly real in the past. Global Warming will likely be real in the future. That we can cause it or that we can prevent it - That is the hoax. The greatest hoax ever sold.
