I agree with your general point, but what is going to average 9% for 45 years?

The broader stock market. Historically, the S&P has returned around 12% per annum if you go back over 70 or 80 years. Granted, it's a much more mature economy now, so you probably wouldn't expect that kind of return going forward, barring some highly disruptive technological advances that squeeze out incredible productivity. But 8-9% is a fairly common estimate among securities analysts for average long term CAGR of the stock market.

Okay - I guess I'm just looking at the last 15 years or so

In this first week in January, the service hydrologist at the Taunton MA

forecast office received a message from a water resources member of the

State of Connecticut asking why Connecticut has been in drought

conditions for the past few years. It turns out that one of the primary

sources of precipitation reports being used comes from the tipping gauges

from the area airports’ ASOS

Thanks to your observations, we were able to identify an issue with the under-reporting of precipitation amounts by automated sensors in southern Connecticut which has been affecting the Drought Analysis produced by NOAA for some time now. We'll be working on resolving that issue over the next few weeks.

Wait, so CT may not be experiencing a devastating drought? Not sure who to believe now...

The 67 ice bowl was played on a heated field, the condensation from having the tarp on the field the day before froze and the field was ice since it was 13 below.

from Wiki

Lambeau Field's turf-heating system malfunctioned, and when the tarpaulin was removed from the field before the game, it left moisture on the field, which flash-froze in the extreme cold, leaving an icy surface that got worse as more and more of the field fell into the shadow of the stadium.[29] The heating system, made by General Electric, cost $80,000 and was bought from the nephew of George Halas, George Halas Jr.[citation needed] On the sidelines before the game, some Dallas players believed that Lombardi had purposely removed power to the heating coils.[30] The heating system would eventually be given the moniker Lombardi's Folly.[31] The prior convention to prevent the football field from icing up was to cover the field with do
