Life with Mum – Part 4

This weekend we went up to Lake Tahoe and stayed in my friends George and Elaine’s townhouse on the North Shore over Saturday night. It was a nice little get away, but Mum is not up to enjoying these things as much as she once did. Apart from a little drive around part of the Lake on Saturday evening we did not do much of else.

Of course the fact that it rained on Sunday didn’t help it made it not so nice a ride back to Sacramento. My mum is amazed at all the bad weather we have been having lately and blames it all on global warming. Interesting that she does that, she is not particularly scientific minded nor one who keeps up on the day to day machinations of the political world, but somewhere along the way she has been seeded with the idea that all this strange weather is a global warming phenomenon. I think it is a sign that global warming is much more an accepted and discussed issue over in Europe than it is here in the US. Over here of course even the President thinks it is bad science.
