I was listening to sports radio earlier in the day and one of the guys was complaining about the lack of snow games in the NFL. Now I’m located in MA so I’m thinking that its way to early for snow. He goes on to talk about how today is the second time Denver has gotten about a foot of snow on a Sunday and both times the Broncos were on the road. Then they started to joke about global warming and all I could think about was how warm it was out. If they hadn’t mentioned it I wouldn’t have thought about snow nor global warming. What do you think?

Thanks for the link! I appreciate it for sure!
Thanks for the linkage. Like you, I find human social psychology a fascinating topic.
As I said in the post, it’s not mind control per se… it’s just getting to you do something before you become aware that you want to do it.
