Our "Predictor" is on a "sports vacation" this week & instead of the usual "Predictor Program" in the 4 o'clock hour, we'll be getting an "ear full & then some from this wacky driver of the yellow mobile conveyance lounge
I'm blogging about author & oceanographer John Englander's new book that anticipated Superstorm Hurricane Sandy. In fact, just 1 week BEFORE Superstorm Sandy hit, ocean expert Englander released his book "High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis"! Englander says as the eastern seaboard begins the painful recovery process after Sandy's devastation, it is important to see the larger picture of why this happened, what the other likely future impacts are, & what we can do

That's what I like to say when I'm spinning all the "Good As Gold" tunes on my Puffman afternoon program & yesterday afternoon (Thursday), Joan Bird, the author of the neat new book on MONTANA UFO's, was my special guest
Some of the most famous UFO cases have occurred right out here in Big Sky Country. These cases include the extraordinary "Montana Movie" of 2 spinning disks that flew over Great Falls back in 1950 (& still remained unexplained!), & the shutdown of Minuteman nuclear missiles from Malmstrom by UFO's in the 1960's.

Word was received earlier this morning (Monday), from "Tall" Todd, one of the custom cutter guys who comes up here to the Golden Triangle every season. Todd says that he visited with producers in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, & Colorado & that the conditions are DRY!
