Hi, Tony! I wish more people were tuned in to the information you are providing.
Thanks for all your good work,

Incredible, it gets hot in the summer! It must be “greenhouse gasses.”
Greensburg KY is +- 25 miles North of me here in KY.
In the 1993 Winter, we got down to -24°F that night.
Greensburg got down to -37°F.
We had a water bowl FREEZE on the floor right next to the Wood stove…it was glowing red at times even!!!
