Dateline, Fort Collins, Colorado

The Poudre School District of Fort Collins Colorado has annonced that classes were cancelled on Friday, 30 August due to the heatwave currently holding northern Colorado in its grip.

Temperatures were expected to reach 90 degrees in the Fort Collins area, prompting the school officials to cancel classes.

A spokesperson for the American Federation of Teachers local organization (speaking on condition of anonymity) stated that the move was entirely in the interest of child welfare and had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the schools in the district will also be closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday.

"Classes will resume as normal on Tuesday," said the spokesperson, "unless we can get Doris down at the District office to finish up the report that the school's water supply has been contaminated by fracking."

Is that "NEXT Tuesday™" or just Tuesday?

Fort Collins August Temperature

The month of August is characterized by gradually falling daily high temperatures, with daily highs decreasing from 86°F to 82°F over the course of the month, exceeding 94°F or dropping below 72°F only one day in ten.


That extra 4 to 6 degrees on Friday (day before 3 day break) could have killed the whole town. Good thing they called school off. That walk from the bus into the air conditioned building can be brutal.

It's so sad, Comrade Walrus. My heart breaks when I look at this picture of a young child being given first aid after collapsing on its way to sex education classes. That damn Bush!

Comrades, this current Global Warming in Colorado is being caused by teabaggers in Weld and other counties who are stirring up hate by trying to separate from the gloriously progressive state itself and form a new state.

Hate, of course, causes friction - and friction causes heat!
