Stardreamer 2/11/14: Note that Minnesota gets lots of snow regularly every winter. Atlanta gets a really bad storm once every 3 or 4 years. It makes a difference.
Reply: I'm aware of this. It still amuses me. And I suspect people in Arizona are amused when Minnesotans complain about unusually hot summer weather.
***Urban bees using plastic to build hives
Once the snow melts, bees will be back in business -- pollinating, making honey and keeping busy doing bee things. For at least two urban bee species, that means making nests out of plastic waste. A new study reveals that some bees use bits of plastic bags and plastic building materials to construct their nests.

Matt Novak @paleofuture travel tip: only refer to san francisco by it's proper name "san fran" to show that you're hip and down with the local lingo
***From politicalwire.com:
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) accused a group that supports Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) of lying about him, by asserting that he had been "jailed more than once" and was "charged with a felony," the Dallas Morning News reports.
"That is strange, because Stockman has admitted to these facts, several times."
The Texas Tribune broke the story and has Stockman's mugshot from 1977.
