A usual busy Monday.   It poured last night but there was no rain during the day.   Also very little sun.

I left at about 9 AM for bible study.  I had to drop things off at one place and pick things up at another on my way. We have a new member in our study group.   Barbara.   I knew her and she knows Mom.   We will be in Acts for a LONG time yet and this week were talking about the spirit of giving and sharing.

Then I drove to Sheboygan to spend time with Mom.   She looked good.  We had a lovely visit, remembering.   Jeff usually has a couple more pictures from the sorting to identify.  This week one was easy for me.  It was Grandma Bowser and me  on the occasion of my First Communion.

I had lunch with my friend Jena from the Plymouth Writers club than was able to be home the rest of the afternoon.

I am tired now.  Worked on the book and a bit of digging out of some chives in the garden.

So.   Until tomorrow.

I am not giving an opinion on this but it is interesting.

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate, at Bergen, Norway

                               

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

I apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post; 93+ years ago.
