It's nature's way of reminding us how utterly indifferent to our welfare it is.
It also always reminds me that we're biologically a tropical species, living in a wider range of climates due to cultural adaptations.

My most recent books are (1) Decoding the U.S. Corporate Tax (2009) and (2) Taxes, Spending, and the U.S. Government's March Toward Bankruptcy (2006). My other books include Do Deficits Matter?
