It’s late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in this modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn’t tell what the winter was going to be like.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”
“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,” the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. “Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?”
“Yes,” the man at National Weather Service again replied, “it’s going to be a very cold winter.”
The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be extremely cold?”
“Absolutely,” the man replied. “It’s looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we’ve ever seen.”
“How can you be so sure?” the chief asked.
The weatherman replied, “The Indians are collecting a shitload of firewood.”

Being the Chief of the 'Sycamore Tribe here in Oklahoma,'{ and the only member thereof in America} looked at a 'wooley worm'.

The climate whiners have been predicting the global warming lie for a while now.
Oh course they forget that in the 60's & 70's they were predicting global cooling.

Guilty as charged. I was saying it in the traditional sense. Other than the Global warming Communists, everyone else always predicts a bad winter. The wooly bear caterpillars either have more brown than black, or more black than brown. It always means a bad winter. Then when we get a warm winter everyone remembers the good or bad old days when today's kids would have cried like snowflakes if they'd of had to endure like we did. As someone who has always worked outside jobs, even in a warm winter you will get some horrendous cold for short stretches. To me the worst factor is wind. If you are up high in the wind, life sucks.
Son of witless, I totally agree with you about working up high. Even in the summer on top of the Radio towers here it could be 30/40 degrees colder than on the ground and the wind could be whipping by @ 40 mph which made hanging on interesting. Happy Thanksgiving!
