The second pic is is a quote from Pope Francis, who in my opinion is the first pope with genuine wisdom in the past twenty years. I recall a pope during the 90's saying something like ' Catholicism is the only way to God' which is such ignorant drivel that it is no wonder the flock started abandoning the faith in droves...I think the new guy will go a long way towards establishing the true meaning of love and compassion that has slipped from many religions.
POSTSCRIPT: February 12: -9F in town this morning with people in the mountain valleys reporting -19F and -23F respectively, which makes last night the coldest of the winter. The high will be 25F however and the ten day forecast predicts a few above freezing temperatures next week. It seems like the entire nation has been affected and overseas England is reporting the worst floods in 250 years...definitely extremes of weather happening...However...The 2014 World Almanac states that only 15 of both the highest and lowest temperatures ever recorded in the U.S. have occurred since 1990. All the other record highs and lows by state were recorded prior to then. That means that 85 of the 100 most extreme high and low temperatures in each of the 50 states occurred before 1990, which offers some perspective on global warming.
