European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 3, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 14 columns the stars and stripes thursday july 3,19b6 today s crossword Earth must us Nof like us much b and hog Ney sometimes i gel the reeling the Earth does t really want us. It sure makes in gift cull to live Here. Last night when 1 got Home just before dinner t stopped and looked in the thermometer outside the Kitchen door. The Sun Hilt in in late afternoon so it in t really an accurate indicator but it read 94 de Grees. On the radio they were calling in an official 90. I went upstairs to change into my old silting around clothes but i did t slay up there Long because it must have been 100 in the bedroom. We have an air conditioner but it had t been turned on because no one was going to he in the room. I hate to spend Money Cooling an comply room. This morning i left he House at 6 10 and the same thermometer thai had read 94 degree tast evening was it an even 40 degrees. Do you think some Force is trying to drive us crazy or make us move somewhere else off Earth driving to work i got to thinking about How near the Earth is to being uninhabitable. I be never read what temperatures the human body can take for High and Tow extremes but it seems Likely thai pans of this planet arc close to being outside the Range or human tolerance at times. The temperature gels into the high120s in death Valley calif., and in has been As High As 134 degrees. That s in the Shade and there in t any Shade out there. Earth s temperature has peaked at136 in Libya. Moa mar Qadhafi aside this is reason enough for me not to Book a two week vacation there. In Antarctica temperatures have been recorded As Low As 126 degrees below Zero. Can the same body that would stay alive in 136-deme heat also keep going at 262 degrees below that 1 remember Reading about a place in Montana where the temperature Feu from 44 degrees above Zero around noon to 56 degrees below Zero late that night. Thai s putting heating sys tems and the human Budy to the test. Somehow we seem to live through extreme temperature changes. Air conditioning and Central heating make it easier but the human race survived before in had either. I Don t Sec How. Nature is always making things Tough for us. If in in t temperature its another kind of terrible weather or natural phenomenon that makes life difficult. Sun Day there was a picture in my newspaper of a Row of expensive Beach houses that Are in imminent danger of being washed away because the Ocean has eroded the Sand out from under them leaving die houses precariously perched on top of heir Clephone Polf like Slit pilings. Al another Lime of year that same Page of the same paper might have a picture of Snow drifts burying a Row of cars on a Highway near Buffalo or of a House being washed downstream by the overflowing missis Sippi in the Delta. Just when you think you re Lucky Tobe in the one Safe part of the country unwilling strikes Yon. I look with some sense of sad superiority at the stories of raging fires Corning Down the canyons in California or of twisters sweeping the Kansas Plains. While 1 was worrying about All the bad Luck the rest of the country was paving last fall a Hurricane struck the Easl coast while we were in Maine. We drove Home to Connecticut the following Day. Fallowing de Tours where the Road had been blocked of by fallen Telephone poles and found the Lawn in front of our House with enough major branches Down so that i had to Call a Tret Sui Ljeon to Clear them away. I am always worried that the Earth will become to warm too cold Ion wet or too dry for humans. We Are after All fragile creatures. It would t take much of a change to make life on Earth impossible. Fortunately for me i have something More important to worry about today. I a Ink my checking account is overdrawn.
