French Toast: Global Warming Smacks France and Vintners -- April 11, 2021

It's always "historic" and "unprecedented" and "unexpected" when there's a cold wave somewhere -- do you remember that "historic, unprecedented, unexpected" Texas deep freeze just a couple of months ago? Now, France.

"Historic" bout of frost decimates French winemakers' harvest. Link here. One would think that they could have forecast this "historic" cold spell and prepared for it. After all, "they" can predict global temperature one hundred years from now.

By the way, one word: eiswein. My favorite dessert drink. Gator Bite is a close second. And then, I have some wonderful memories of Drambuie with a beautiful woman well before I was married. But that's another story for another day. Or never. What happens in South Pasadena stays in South Pasadena.

The "tag" will change to "GlobalWarming_2021_2022" on June 1, 2021.
