Pumps' Perplexities

I recently read an article in the Portland, Maine newspaper which
dealt with the rising temperatures in the Northeast part of the
United States......(Global Warming).....It seems that the average
daily temperature in Portland was 3.3F degrees higher this
winter season.......

I suspect some newspaper editor is not happy because he can not
run stories about the sever cold winter, the elderly and the cost
of heating fuel........By the way, what is the Northeast going to do
with all that cheap Venezuelan oil Hugo sent up.......Most likely
sell it at a massive profit next heating season......

Oh yes, due to a warmer winter the "maple syrup" season may be cut
short.....Or is it the fact that the tree is finally sick and tired of
someone drilling holes in it each spring.....If it hurts cutting them
down just think what torture the drilling must be.....Pumps
