BS Ranch Perspective

It seems that this is better late then never!! The winter storms that come now are all great for the economy locally, and the water shortages that we feel right now, so Mother Nature, bring it on, and lets Flood out and have some Rain Rain and snow snow snow...I suppose that we need the snow. because according to all the Snow that has melted down has been caused by the so called Global Warming of the planet, I suppose, that they can figure that they can turn it around and start the cycle all over again!!
