Yesterday I turned the heat off in my house and got in an argument about global warming. I actually don’t know if global warming is happening or not and really don’t care.

We shouldn’t take care of the earth JUST because we think the world might end. We should just take care of the earth because we should just take care of the earth.  You know the old saying..love your neighbor as yourself even if they aren’t going to murder if you if you don’t love them as yourself…and all that jazz…

Within this argument I explained that I also don’t care about Global Warming because humanity is going to destroy itself long before anything else destroys us. It was in this part of the conversation that they asked me if I read nothing but conspiracy theories.

So? I digress.

I just had to google what “I digress” means because I had no idea and then I realized that it doesn’t really make sense in the way that I just used it.

I digress.

Over the last few weeks I have noticed people using it in meetings at increasingly high speeds. Someone will get off topics and at some point will say “I digress” and we go back to our original topic. I made note that this was a great way to change the subject because I am constantly getting off track and then doing this awkward stuttering thing to move us back on schedule.

So my new thing? I digress.

Now…back to the topic of Global Warming and summer and WHY DIDN’T WINTER EXSIST THIS YEAR….

I live in a part of the world that is defined by its seasons. You can measure the time of year by the chill in the air and the height of the corn. You can watch summer slowly sprout up and grow until it is towering over you.

You can see summer be torn away by the blades of a combine and turn brown with the fall and one day you look over and summer is covered in a foot of snow and you can’t feel your toes.

But this year that didn’t happen and as much as I hate snow my soul was screaming “THIS AIN’T RIGHT.”

I was told that this probably wasn’t global warming and we haven’t been measuring the weather for enough years to understand our earth.

As if that isn’t mind blowingly scary.
