Our Earth is Loosing its Ice

Ok.
I just need to write about how my computer is overheating not because I'm using it but because it has stayed over 85 degrees in my apartment for the last 3 days straight. No worries though.........I'm stayin' cool and thinking about ice.
ice cream
ice bergs
icicles
iced latte
ice ice baby (shows how old I am right?)
glaciers
Ut oh. That is a hard one. The word "glacier" conjures up other thoughts about the environment and how our precious planet is loosing its ice. Now those of us who may not appreciate bitter temperatures and snowfall should really understand that when we loose our glaciers this is not really the best of scenarios. Glaciers hold water that would be in our oceans if it melted. Not such a big deal right? Except if you happen to live near a beach, which most of us do. Check out the World View of Global Warming website.....for more info.
We need ice.
Actually, I need ice right now. It is darn HOT in Seattle, Washington. We may hit 107 degrees tomorrow. A record. Today I walked outside and it smelled like Tuscon, Arizona. What does Arizona smell like? You ask....
"Hot, dry grass and rocks." Actually quite refreshing in it's own way.....cept I miss the saguaro cacti.
Stay cool everyone.
