Frightening!
This would explain a phenomenon that I have observed over the years. Each night, when my wife and I go to sleep, the blanket that we share is covering each of us equally. By morning, however, most of the blanket is on my side. We have been forced to purchase a larger blanket in an attempt to counter this problem, however, to no success. The subtle movement of the continent can be the only explanation for this drifting of the blanket!
My wife and I are fortunate that we can afford to purchase a king size quilt, which has at least slowed this process each night, however, the less fortunate must truly be suffering!
I propose that Congress immediately implement a program to provide free extra large blankets to the underprivileged (and, of course, to members of Congress themselves, whose comfort and survival the nation depends…).
