In the last week we've had approximately 6 inches of rain, but I know an even better indicator of climate change. I was in Sioux City a couple of weeks ago for the annual Sgt. floyd Memorial Encampment. We set up our Lewis and Clark encampment at the state welcome center and on Saturday night we go down to Ol' Charlie's grave and do a memorial service in full dress 1804 uniform. As we sat around the fire with a few sundowners we started talking and realized the ground is harder, the trails are steeper, and the Earth's gravity has changed, causing my musket balls to fly erratically. When I mentioned this to my wife, she had some ridiculous theory about age. Ridiculous, right? I just wondered if anyone else has noticed this meteorological pheneomenon.
