You know, I've developed a theory in the past few years. Dunno if it's right or wrong, see what you guys think.
My theory is that weather in the big picture goes in cycles. Big cycles. Like not every ten, twenty years, but more like every hundred or two hundred years. Or more.....

Heck, white man has only been in my part of the world for just a bit over 100 years, so who's to say what's normal and what's not. This part of the country I'm in used to be(millions of years ago) the bottom of a huge inland sea(according to the books) and what's to say things someday won't freeze up then melt and do that again.

Just in recorded history of this area, we went from the early settler days(1880'a), where a guy could track a horse all the way from the Niobrara River to the Platte(about 150 miles) in the dry sand. All pictures from that time and early turn of the century were showing basically sand dunes with little vegetation on them, to the "wet years" of the 1950's(when all the cattlement got rich) and then slowly back to now, when it seems like things are getting dryer every year. Hate to say it but I kinda predict things are going back to the "dry stage" like it was earlier. Makes a guy want to think twice about investing too much in an ag operation in these parts about now....

Any thoughts?
