No need to mention that it is only a legend.

We'll get it right sooner or later.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-70397840999547195992017-01-04T08:34:20.094-06:002017-01-04T08:34:20.094-06:00http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/cause-ice-age.h...http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/cause-ice-age.html we will never really knowFMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829632906445535928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-66723265578314561452017-01-04T08:19:54.235-06:002017-01-04T08:19:54.235-06:00Superb column today!Superb column today!Privatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757585399827295128noreply@blogger.com
