127 in Death Valley
Jun 21^st, 2017 at 3:02pm

Welcome to Hell - literally

In Death Valley in eastern California and in the town of Needles near the Arizona border, temperatures are expected to reach 127 degrees Fahrenheit (53 Celsius) this week, National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Fisher said on Monday.

Fisher said the sweltering weather could break records in some areas but was part of a cyclical pattern and not brought on by climate change or any other unusual phenomenon.

Of course, that is absolute bullshit.

Um, where's the "ice age" again?

We're doomed, people. The Mayans were right. We are in end times

You haven't been to Australia yet, have you Marla?

When you're in WA, visit a little town called Marble Bar.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. In Australia, we level those bumps out.

Yeah, that'll happen when Blooby's "mini ice age" comes.

Dope grows better in cold climates like yours. THC is a natural sunscreen which the plant secretes to keep the bud moist. High up places have strong UV light. Hence the plant secretes more THC. You should grow it instead of buying it.
