Lots Record-Breaking Temperatures Around the World Over Last 2 Years

On January 13, 2022 a coastal city in northwestern Australia recorded the hottest ever temperature it had ever seen. 123 degrees Fahrenheit (It tied one other event).A station in Onslow, a small coastal town in Western Australia, registered a sweltering 123.3 degrees (50.7 degrees Celsius) amid a severe heat wave. If verified, it would tie the all-time high reading set in Oodnadatta, Australia, on Jan. 2, 1960. In Mid-January, NASA and NOAA released their Annual Global Temperature analysis and determined that 2021 was tied for the 6th Warmest Year on the planet. (CLICK FOR THE RESEARCH)

Who I am

I'm a simple guy who enjoys the simple things in life, especially our dogs. I volunteer for dog rescues, enjoy exercising, blogging, politics, helping friends and neighbors, participating in ghost investigations, coffee, weather, superheroes, comic books, mystery novels, traveling, 70s and 80s music, classic country music,writing books on ghosts and spirits, cooking simply and keeping in shape. You'll find tidbits of all of these things on this blog and more. EMAIL me at Rgutro@gmail.com - Rob

Rob's Book- Kindred Spirits: When a Spirit Befriends a Medium

ABOUT THE BOOK It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing.- Video short: VIDEO: https://youtu.be/_zUFsjrTrLg
