Sunspots

[Kubby]

Scientists last June said after hard research they were sure the sunspot activity will likely diminish greatly for the next several years. Today the announcement is the sun has spiked WAY up and we will likely get blasted with a solar flare(s) that might put us back in the dark ages possibly early next week. (ya gotta love the 2 extremes of this story) Well I guess tv watching could become the least of our worries.

As always, the sky is falling.

My advice: Forget the sun and buy silver. :)
