Invade Russia!
Excellent idea!! I love the smell of napalm in the morning. 🙂
The scary thing is this was predicted years ago when global warming was first being investigated. This is just one of many droughts to come. Scientists say nothing will get better, only worse.
The good thing is US farmers will have more money to spend and farmers like spending money on new toys.
Well that really sucks. Cereal is one of those foods I can’t live without.
