Here’s a little tidbit that appeared in the July 17th, 2023 edition of the Winchester Star’s “Out of the Past” column:
July 12, 1923
HAYFIELD — There has been a noticeable deficiency of precipitation in the past two years, particularly during the last twelve months, which is having a telling effect on those subterranean reservoirs that feed wells and springs, causing many intermittent springs and streams to cease flowing.
The shortage of rain has been attributed to the extraction of electricity from the atmosphere by the flight of airplanes and Zeppelins.
If this theory is correct and the air becomes the national highway of travel, rain will ultimately cease to fall and famine prevail.
The temperature last month was the hottest experienced in June for more than thirty years and the driest since 1918. [STOP]
What a bunch of gullible goofs!
Wonder what they’ll think of us 100 years from now?

I guess we should have about all of the electricity sucked out of the air by now.

Especially if we’re in an ice age because the star closest to us decides to reduce a minute amount of solar raduation for an unspecified amount if time as it has done many times in the past 4 billion years
