It may be winter outside, but in my heart it’s spring

cold, Cold, COOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

The day after I arrived in Detroit it hit minus thirteen degrees in proper British temperature, which is 21 pixies and half a flagon in old fashioned US speak. Seriously, when I was a kid I thought that the US was the most futuristic, modern place on the planet. They had the Six Million Dollar Man fergawdsache. But the reality is slightly off kilter. It’s all a bit olde worlde here in some ways frankly, which is odd when they consider Europe-land to be backwards. I suggest we step outside and have a fight to sort it all out… when it gets warmer.

So yeah, talking of attitudes, I was listening to a guy on a local Christian Radio Station the other day for I have found God… ahem… yeah right. No offence intended obviously but, no, that didn’t happen. I was listening because I’m always interested in what these guys will come up with. This guy was a dream. A walking, talking advert for the love, peace and forgiveness that Jesus Christ can bring to your life. You see he was talking about the Tsunami’s (Did the Manics play their song “Tsunami” at the benefit gig on Saturday in Wales? Please tell me they did…) and his point was basically this… “Have you noticed that the tidal wave happened the day after Christmas which is Christ’s birthday and that the majority of those killed were Muslim or Hindu? Can you see what God’s saying here?” really, he did, I checked.

Alvie thinks the man on the radio was a little harsh.

Other things? well yesterday it was minus fifteen celsius which is nearly as cold as a Christian DJ’s heart.
