Glaciers growing?

Ok, Folks I have some problems here. As I check on one of my favorite websites Mt. St. Helens current conditions. As I read what is happening to one of America's more active volcanoes, I see this little ditty about a growing glacier?

"Glacier Dimensions:

Crater Glacier exceeds area of established nearby glaciers: In September 2007, the area of Crater Glacier was approximately one-fifth the area of glaciated terrain that existed on Mount St. Helens prior to the catastrophic eruption of May 18, 1980. Crater Glacier is approximately 0.33 square miles in area, which is more than twice the area of White River Glacier on the south side of Oregon’s Mount Hood. Crater Glacier is the newest glacier to form in North America. It is one of the most rapidly advancing and one of the lowest-elevation glaciers in the lower 48 states."

This data you are reading is from Non other then United States Geologic Survey (USGS)
You can find it at http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/MSH/Eruption04/Monitoring/February2008/

I thought we were warming? Indeed it has been very quite on the Global Warming front this winter since I have heard it is the second coldest winter since 1966. I will have to look this fact up and get back to you to verify. So please don't believe every "GREENY WEENY" you come across when they say AL Gore is right. Let them know about America's newest glacier and that it is growing!
Thanks and Good Night

New Furniture!

Well today Debbie and I went shopping for new furniture. We found some at lazy boy.
Couch and two recliners. Took all day for us to find it. And then, And then! We went to REI and I got a new backpack. The Ridgeline 65 made by REI. This is a quality pack, it is comfortable and roomy. It is a vast improvement from the roach I used last summer.
Though it did well it was not a comfortable pack to haul 80 plus miles with 50 pound in it..
So today was a good day for us. BAD FOR THE DOG! No more DOG on the furniture. This will take some getting used to on her part but NO MORE! And if she has too many problems with it all I guess she will be outside for the rest of her days.
And yes to all who says no way. If you want this dog it will be no skin off of my teeth to see her GONE.

It has come time
