Hopes For A New Year/Decade

Storms up North: West & East

Elsewhere; a sunshine feast

As we wind down 2019

Not the craziest year we've seen

But, it's been close

Earth could use a big dose

Of human sanity

For those that refuse to see

The evil tweeting in plain sight

To the rest of us, serious fright

There is hope if we see

A new president at the end of 2020

Man or woman, straight or gay

But, Punk'n Head prez gotta go away

Too much evil elsewhere

For USA not to care

4 more years of this nightmare

And, chaos will reign everywhere

Still Earth won't care at all

Humans here for a time so small

We'll be gone, Earth still spinning

Other creatures soon be winning

Still be quakes, many or few

Still volcanoes blasting through

Still be storms, hurricane & snow

Still be Earth, but we won't know

And, as clever as we actually are

Be a shame if we're just a fossil scar

So, step up, speak out, work for change

Find a way to help rearrange

The simple known facts

Into helpful,  positive acts

We can do it, change to good

Can happen in every neighborhood

But, it better be soon

We ain't movin' to the moon

So, go out and check the sky

As a new year draws nigh

The Moon & Venus

What an eye rush!

Dream of a fine future

For all Earthlings

Today On Your Planet

Your only home!

Be safe, be happy!

Onward to 2020

A Warm Sliver!

In 60+ warmth on the eve of the eve

Lounging by the pool I can conceive

But, with a looming, ominous cloud

I also imagine thunder clapping aloud

Monster storm centered upper mid-west

It's tail a cold front about to best

The warm front in which we linger

Ending 2019 on a wild weather zinger

It will all pass and skies will clear

Temps will drop a bit into the new year

In Great Lakes, storm rages on

Here, one more rain band and gone

Already a little brighter out

As cold air gives warm a rout

Change a'coming, never long to wait

Hope the end of your year is great

And, as 2019 shuts its door

We'll see what 2020 has in store

For all earthlings, planet wide

Just ain't no place to hide

Today On Earth

In the west

After the sun sets

From Venus, the Moon will dance away

Another moonth before it returns to play

By then Mercury will be back at sunset

Up early, catching Mars seems safe bet

Above the head of Scorpio

Nearing Antares, its rival foe

Both with the orange-gold glow

Star slightly brighter during this show

Jupiter & Saturn both behind the sun

Later 2020 they'll hook up, viewing fun

If you have a clearing sky

How early can Venus you spy

4:45, even 4:30?

Today on Earth

Oklahoma with 4.0 quake today

Aftershock for LSU beat down Saturday?

And, a 5.2 in southern Japan

Also at 27 North, 5.0 in Iran

Biggest today from lava eruption?

5.3 off S. Africa, sea-floor construction

Still quakes off S. Puerto Rico

But a calming aftershock show

Really, pretty normal quaking day

On big planet, Earth today

Wet And Mild-ish, Shaky In The Islands

Puerto Rico continues shaky ride

Big quake (5.0) off the southern side

Here, no quakes, but we got rain

Mildness, a warming planet will explain

Lot of shakes all around the ring

Might have mentioned subduction thing

But, half the 70 quakes today

Happened down Puerto Rico way

But, south of the island, unusual

It's Earth, ain't no casual

We're into a couple of wet days

Canada to Gulf, this Low plays

Way up north they got snow

Deep south, maybe a tornado

Tomorrow, here, maybe thunder storm

Not your late year norm

But, what is normal on the Earth

Constant change since its birth

4.5 billion years ago

That change ain't gonna slow

Today On Earth

Venus & Moon, what a sight

Had to see it, an eye delight

If you have skies that are clear

The two will still be quite near

I know here they won't be seen

Not with our rainy scene

Maybe clear New Years Eve

Hope happiness you receive

In the new year

Every day on Earth!!

The Warm Before The Storm

Sunny & even warmer today

Before the rain comes our way

Huge storm border to border

Snow, ice, rain; major disorder

Minnesota snow to Texas rain

Central US is feeling the pain

Storm will continue eastward push

Tomorrow turning our soil to mush

But, no snow here any time soon

Leaving ski areas to ruin

Yet, 62 in late December

Makes winter hard to remember

It'll be back

With a cold attack...

Pretty average day around the rim

Pacific plate still getting a trim

Ubiquitous subduction

Geologic scale, plate reduction

Nothing today above 5.5

No tsunamis going to arrive

What will show up in evening sky

Brilliant Venus, crescent moon nearby

And it was...

I never posted this...

Another Mild, Hazy Winter's Day

Winter's not exactly roaring here

Still mild even with skies unclear

Humid air from a southern flow

Summer-like as the High does go

Farther off the coast today

Moving on and making way

For change

A planet set on rearrange

While we have temps above the norm

Outside & above LA., a snow storm

That system is headed our way

Setting up a rainy Sunday

Gotta go up to get the snow

Here, we're just way too low

Humidity's up, know how I knew

Exposed rocks, covered in dew

The soil at the surface is quite cool

So, today it broke the dew point rule

Go below Dew Point & I bet

Condensation is what you get

There it was, easy to see

Every rock, wet as could be

In other news, half a world away

Annular eclipse happened yesterday

Here's a shot, from space weather site

Through the clouds, lovely sight

The moon was just too far away

To block the sun completely

Pretty cool

Might catch a tiny crescent tonight

Near Saturn if on a hilltop site

Tomorrow just to Venus's right

That should be a lovely sight

Probably have clouds here... 

Meanwhile, deep inside the Earth

Convection cells are giving birth

To new crust & crunching the old

Result: rocks are getting bold

And, moving about

Earthquakes giving a shout

Caribbean plate, ongoing subduction

No hint of quake reduction

Off Puerto Rico

Bet, most folks don't know

Quakes offshore and fairly deep

Just so there's no lava creep..

Only big quakes Turkey & Iran

2 countries where reality's long gone

Theocratic thugs, ready to kill

If you don't swallow allah's pill

Just more of the scary despot scene

Rulers more than willing to clean

Out the wallets of everyone

So they can have power & fun

Local, state and national

Robbing us blind while ranting irrational

More local incompetence uncovered

In EVERY project, we've discovered

Just put another Sambo on it

Tax payers take the hit

Some things don't change..

Today On Earth

A Beauty Of A Boxing Day

Lovely high pressure does prevail

Chilly morns, then the temps do sail

Might have hit 60 this Boxing Day

Once early fog went away

Boxing day, Brit servants get a break

In US, returning gifts that didn't take

Planet don't care, just more earthquakes

1 in 5 today, above a mag. 5 shake

Still quake & volcano list little light

But, Guatemala's Fuego quite the fright

2 Aleutian eruptions still ongoing

Lava & ash from blast they're showing

Kamchatka still 3 having a blow

Or 3 in Indonesia's still in mode go

White Island has calmed, but an issue still

Volcano tour, might get the ultimate thrill

Yet still no eruption to see

On Big Island, Hawai'i

Venus continues it's dominance

Any evening, Japan, US or France

Once we spin away from the sun

Our closest neighbor is the one

So, get out, have a look

Put down that new xmas book

I'm headed out right now

Another dog walk then his chow

Today On Earth

Whiney Punk'n Head prez got be da news

Spew more of his nasty, vitriolic views

We don't care about his tweets

Or how many burgers he does eat

Just want his face to go away

So we all can have a better day

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!

A cool start but lovely xmas day

Hope all is happy in your family way

The planet is still acting all shook up

Two 6+ quakes with minor disrupt

Canada & Colombia got the big shakes

Earth, adapt daily is what it takes

Venus, the bright beacon in the west

Alas, Mars failed morning cloud test

Still a lovely sunrise with Breyer

So hoist your xmas toasts up higher

And, have yourself a lovely

Today On Earth

HAPPY HOLLADAYS!!

I am indeed a lucky guy

Wandering about every day

Just seeing what I can spy

Never planning which a way

I & big brown dog will go

Just seeing what we can see

Far away from daily to & fro

Happy as a Holladay can be!

Very lucky, indeed!

While Earth keeps on a'spinning

Tilting away while drawing near

Zonal flow, Pacific air a'winning

Warming temps & a hazy clear

At almost our nearest approach

Jan. 5, we're closest to the sun

Combo cause of Aussie record broach

Close with tilt, wildfire "fun"

Global Warming, real, indeed!

Subduction of the Pacific plate

Lot of stuffing on eastern side

Big quake, never long to wait

Old rock jammed back inside

Of the big ole Earth

Quakes & volcanoes the result

Cycle of planet & rock rebirth

Humans need geologic consult

Reality, indeed

Venus still amazing evening sight

But, moon hidden, approaching New

Planet still climbing in height

26th, eclipse with sun peeking thru

Alas, annular ring not seen here

Eastern hemisphere near equator

Get a look if skies are clear

Eclipse here, 4+ years later

April 2024

Seeeeeeeya there

Or elsewhere

Today On Earth

Whole Lotta Shaking!!

Today was a big quake day

Little late here with my say

Eastern Pacific two bigs shakes

Canada, 6.0, Guatemala, a 5.8

Kamchatka, Micronesia, big ones, too

Hope it was calm near you

Here was a pretty warm day

Even with some clouds in the way

No white xmas anywhere near

Warmish and mostly clear

Be careful

Enjoy

Happy Holladays

Today On Earth

Soggy Southern Shopping

Most of the south & west coast

Of good weather, cannot boast

Heavy rain & cool temps

Will disrupt shopping attempts

Here we sit just north of the storm

Still with temps below the norm

But, for the upcoming week

Warmer air will begin to sneak

Into much of the USA

Pushing white xmas chances away

And, once southern rain is gone

Clearer skies will come along

Enjoy the week's warming air

Outside on Earth is where!!

Off Puerto Rico 30+ more shakes

Kodiak Station AK 2nd place takes

For shakiest places today

Where a 5.0 came their way

Kamchatka, Japan & Indonesia

Tonga & Iran, quakes could seize ya

From Tierra Del Fuego around the ring

The active planet doing its thing

Today & everyday On Earth

Venus still a brilliant sight

In the fading twilight

Waning crescent before sunrise today

In Libra, headed Mars way

Today above, tomorrow below

Headed to Boxing day eclipse show

When New, moon is far, apogee

So some sun folks will still see

But not us, half a spin away

An Annular eclipse, a fire ring

Moon farther so no complete blocking

For us, we'll have to wait for pix

Check in for astronomy fix

Or just go outside tonight

If no clouds, a lovely sight

There ya go, for what it's worth

Holladay's Today On Earth

The Winter Solstice - Sun Stands Still

In our annual solar orbit

Today's as tilted as we get

From our local star

Even while not as far

Away

Today

Is our Winter Solstice

When just a little light will suffice

Down under, southern hemisphere way

Their summer starts up today

And, E. Australia is ablaze

Raging fires creating sun blocking haze

The Earth is in a major warming cycle

Humans: too many cars, too few bicycles

Today the sun's overhead at south 23.45

Tropic of Capricorn, but that's a bit of jive

Because today's sun is in Sagittarius

But name changes are such a fuss

Earth's wobbles & shifts are slow

But, eventually they do show

So, what you think might be your "sign"

Could be wrong, could be fine

Doesn't effect you anyway

Other than sun tilted away

Southern shifting sun, stops today

Stands still, before starting northern play

Today

A break

Off to return the remains of a friend

To the Earth, at the river's bend

Jay Gillespie gone way too soon

Miss ya buddy... 

Last Full Day Of Fall

The sun stands still tomorrow, late

As we enter winter's gate

The Solstice, the start of the winter season

Holladay times, the original reason

It feels like winter today

But, warmer temps are on the way

After this High moves out to sea

Temps near 60, there will be

Most of USA is dry today

Rain & snow out NW way

But, is is chilly nationwide

Winter-like, bundle up outside

But, get out

Lots of beauty about

6.1 quake just shook NE Afghanistan

Lot of shakes on ridge S of Iceland

Still slipping in Puerto Rican trench

Earth twisting rock like a wrench

No sunspots, so plenty of cosmic rays

Galactic energy heading our way

Earth's air & magnetism mostly block

But, magnetic pole's rapid moving a shock

Are we about to have a magnetic reversal?

Getting weaker..seems the rehearsal

Losing that shield not gonna be good

Many more gamma & x-rays would

Blast our unprotected world

Power grids, satellites swirled

Good thing we've got good leadership

To deal with any crisis, any blip

Wait.. science is ignored, don't "believe"

Lie & spin, live to deceive

Superstition, fear & lies seems A-OK

World reality ignored away

We can get back to being world leader

Instead, currently we're world bleeder

Xmas dinners, some fun conversations

Reality versus faux sensations

Bon Appetit!!

Today On Earth

Ahhh, His Legacy, Is A Joke!

True self is so easy to reveal

Truth: do you choose to conceal

Do you do what is right

Or blame everyone in sight

Punk'n Head prez continues to show

What we already know

That his only concern is himself

And, hiding his ill-gotten wealth

Worried about what his legacy will be

Not the damage he's done to our country

He's worried he might look bad

Remembered as an asswipe cad

Toilet paper stuck to his shoe

Who next will he try and screw

Repulichumps continue to whine

Process was just not fine

Never mention his obvious guilt

Every election he tries to tilt

Russian help obvious treason

Ukraine extortion another reason

Everything prez does mostly a crime

That's the legacy for the slime

Will the senate grow a spine?

Man up or just continue to whine?

Lindsey & Dougie, gutless hypocrites

Oath to America, not prez, what twits

Time will not look kindly on these years

Nothing but lies and playing on fears

At obvious treason, you look away

History will have final say

Punk'n Head prez legacy

Here's what it will be

Sad & Ugly!!

But, Earth is still spinning

Even if humans not winning

CO2 into the air, plastic in the sea

Pollution & trash everywhere we be

Earth don't care, it will erase

Our presence from its face

And, other life forms will carry on

For millennia after we are gone

Death worshippers are ok with that

"Heaven" where they'll all be at

Pretty sad that death is your plan

You sound like a republican!

Earth is still a pretty shaky place

Moon still waning, showing less face

14 mountains blowing lava & ash

Xmas shoppers still spending cash

(Actually, not cash, I bet

Charge it, add to their debt)

50+ quakes again today

Caribbean subduction still underway

Lot of 5's all around the ring

White Island building to eruption thing?

Aleutians got two mountains blasting

Indonesia & Kamchatka; everlasting

And, it's nice and sunny here

High pressure keeping sky clear

But, it's COLD

Truth be told

Freezing almost to Miami

But, that's the place to be

If warm temps you seek

Elsewhere, not for the meek

Today On Earth

Venus still gorgeous in the west

Bundle up, need more than a vest..

Impeach The Traitor!!

Our founders, did not want a king

So, they did this 3 branches thing

Each, to place a check on the other

Punk'n Head prez sees that as a bother

Today, House will step up & do their job

Problem, Senate "ruled" by spineless nob

Prez/king can do anything he wants

That's what Republichumps flaunt

If it's ok to bribe for aid

If rules & laws are easily waylaid

Mob/gun rule is on the way

Our democracy will go away

If we get through this current mess

Prez only sees sun at prison recess

Then some hope can be restored

Maybe our real issues won't be ignored

Cuz Earth still don't care

And, it's getting warmer out there

In other old white guy news

Pope & buddies doing as they choose

Hiding rapists & pedophiles

Just confess & everyone smiles

Not going to turn anyone in

We'll just wipe away their sin

Suckers still happy to buy their con

Better hope there's no hell further on

Rich, lying, old, fat, white men

To fix things, that's where to begin

It's really that simple

Women need to pop that pimple!

Take your power back

Well placed boot to their sack..

Sunny but chilly, High pressure grows

Rain then sun, that's how it goes

Another big shaky day

50+ quakes got Earth all a'sway

W. Pacific with major subduction

Earth doing old rock destruction

But as old rock goes away

Mid-ocean ridges belch new rock today

Rock & water cycles, round they go

New rock & weather to show

Get out and see it all

But, could take awhile, y'all

Or not

On planet getting hot

Southern Hemisphere temps higher

Records broken, mega wild fires

Da Nile, river we're still cruising

On planet we keep abusing

And, Earth still don't care

If we're even out there

Trashing the ocean & crust

Eventually all goes back to dust

Best hope to get out of ditch..

Impeach the pussy ass bitch

Today On Earth

Moon almost to last quarter phase

Venus shining even through haze

Spot Moon in the morning sky

Venus, soon as sun goes bye-bye

Can't see anything from inside

So in the evening slide

Out and, take a peek

If a calming view you seek

Tonight..off Earth

Land Day #23!!

Today marks Land Day #23

20 acres, with nothing but a tree

As far as I could see

Except a gas line reminding me

I was not the first one here

And, it had once been clear

Tobacco? Corn? Not really sure

Tried to add photo of me in chair

In what was to be the front yard

But, google sucks

Won't load it..

But, today a walking tour

Will still show a lot of trees

And mossy trails, lovely as can be

With a cozy, little house of tires

Warmed by sun & wood fires

Into which I have now retired

A state to which I have long aspired

Today, kicked back with a Holladay tune

Hoping the toasty sun returns soon

Forecast says tomorrow, we will see..

Today, it's wet & cloudy as can be

But with the temp on the rise

Wedge erosion, I surmise

Still this system has been wild

Ice up north, south, tornadoes styled

Tornado emergency, dozens seen

Death & destruction, the scene

All along the Gulf coast

LA & Miss, with the most

But, it will pass

Then a cold blast

Building to the winter solstice

Late Saturday, forecast: nice

Broken planet today, over 90 quakes

Caribbean plate with serious shakes

Alaska & California, too

Yet nothing anywhere as great as 5.2

Out of US, only 11 quakes worldwide

Really just Puerto Rico on the shaky side

Hope there's no magma looking to slide

Up onto an island with no place to hide

Make the choice: volcano or tornado?

Migration, seems the way to go

But, where?

Wild planet, just don't care!!

If your skies are clear tonight

Venus will be a dazzling sight

Jupiter is gone, Saturn dim & low

East, 7:30, Orion & Taurus are the show

Winter, the season of the brightest stars

With quite the range of color bars

White, red, orange, yellow, blue

What do you see shining thru?

And, all stars twinkle

Planets reflect, so no light wrinkle

Check it out

Today On Earth

Impeach the pussy ass bitch

Hunt is over, caught the witch

Then jail obstructionist, Mitch

Lindsey feeling a twitch

Balls removed without a stitch

Democracy deep in the ditch

In USA, all is not fine

Independent thought in decline

Very sad

And, Earth still don't care

Warming & storming, everywhere!!

Nasty Storm, Lotta Shakes

Snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain/ice

Much of US is not looking nice

And, after a couple of quiet days

Earth is back to more shaky ways

Collision zone: Pacific/Aussie plate

Pressure build-up must of been great

Cuz today is about pressure release

Friction between rocks just cease

Today, 50+ earthquakes

But, no really major breaks

And, seems to be no wave action

Alaska big into the quake faction

Argentina pretty shaky, too

Just hope it's calm near you

Maybe just some rain or snow

It is December, you know..

And, once this storm moves away

Dry & cold will have a bit of a stay

Let ski areas put some snow down

I need to do some sliding around

Rain here seems to be slackin'

Just barely north, storm still attackin'

And, while not raining, far from clear

Unlikely Venus will be seen here

Until maybe Wednesday

Spot Saturn then, hard to stay

🌋

White Island eruption, who to blame

Never our fault, most exclaim

But, what ever happens is your fault

Yet, blame others always the default

You got off a boat onto a volcano

Showing signs it was gonna blow

Duh!!

Sorry folks were killed & burned

For adventure they all yearned

And, that's what they got

Problem: volcanoes are hot

Bet none where forced on the boat

Bet would have been happy to gloat

"I walked on a volcano"

But, you picked a bad day to go

Don't blame others for your decision

Cause of bad reality collision

Earth don't care

Eruption or calm, snow or clear

Gonna go outside

Could be in for a wild ride

Today On Earth

Sunny & Nice Here, Slimy In DeeCee

A lovely Sunday, sunny & clear

Tomorrow more rain headed here

6.8 quake in the southern Philippines

3 dead so far, major damage seen

Aftershocks just keep on coming

White Island volcano keeps on humming

With a 5.1 quake very close by

Another eruption blasting into the sky?

Earth might have a lull but never a break

Always another eruption or big shake

Venus higher & brilliant in the west

Saturn lower & dimming, a viewing test

But, check it out

Still delightful, no doubt

Today On Earth

In DeeCee the Punk'n Head prez

More claims of greatness, so he says

Cause a problem then claim to solve

But all his claims quickly dissolve

Claims with China, new trade deal

Like they aren't going to steal

Anything they want, ain't gonna change

China not lie, that would be strange

Be like the prez telling the truth

Or believing fox as your proof

Meanwhile russia continues to hack

Everyday, America under attack

Punk'n Head prez, wanna be king

Another claim, he can do anything

North Korea still shooting rockets

Another false claim on prez docket

What we have is slime everywhere

Public opinion: they don't care

Unless wackos get out their guns

Then empty resolutions get done

But walmart will sell more china crap

Rampant debt will continue to zap

Folks that think prez working for them

Alas, he only cares about him

Me, me, me, me, me

Him at the center of all we see

Wants to see himself on TV

Facebook & twitter happy as can be

Look at your phone, don't need to think

Everyday more freedom slinks

Away..

And, Earth still doesn't care

In 1000 years it will be here

But, if Punk'n Head's reelected

We'll be Naturally deSelected

Chaos & fighting, all guns ablaze

Be little left when clears the haze

Other life forms will survive

Not sure any humans will be alive

And, the Earth still won't care

Storms, Cosmic Rays, Quakes; The Usual!

The rain that was here is movin' on

But, more is soon to come along

Then a long dry spell the forecast

Into winter's 1st week that could last

On our nearby star it's fairly calm

Now over a month, no sunspot swarm

We're at solar minimum, that's not all good

Magnetism weak, not blocking like it should

X & Gamma rays from deep space

Can smack Earth right in the face

Again, Earth don't really care

It's the life forms living there

Especially the one's up in planes

Sun not stopping cosmic rains

About another dental x-ray dose

Frequent fliers get the most

In other news, high above

Geminid meteors showed the love

60+ fireballs yesterday

Fiery atmosphere decay

Whoa!!

Earth is wild, space is wilder

Quakes today are about in line

Only 2 above 5 so mostly fine

But, 5.1 on the north island

Quakes, volcano, hmmm.. New Zealand

Planet always stirring up

Always ready to erupt

Hope it's quiet where you be

And, you take a walk to see

Your planet

Today On Earth

House voting impeachment next week

Foreign election help prez did seek

If Senate lets that fly

Kiss our democracy goodbye

Punk'n Head prez wants to be king

Thinks he can do anything

Thinks he is the chosen one

Thinks we should worship like the sun

All bow down & kiss his fat ass

Any crime, his crew gets a pass

All his followers got their guns

Thoughtful as marauding huns

Only follow vote if it goes their way

Lose, then let guns have their say

Very scary times are these

When idiots can do as they please

Still, today 100 more will die

They won't buy, "guns save lives" lie

Gun took their life today

100 more die everyday

Everyday

In the "great" USA

1 in 7 need help with food

That ain't great, not even good

Yet, fools ok with prez making fun

Of Greta after she won

Time: Person of the Year

Just cause it's so clear

She's doing good

Punk'n Head is evil & should

Be impeached & shot

That would be hot!!

That would be a good use

For a gun

RAW!!

Stuck in the 30's, with light rain

It's a RAW day, ain't gotta explain

Yesterday pressure so very high

With cold air and a blue sky

But, that is long gone

Two day rain has come along

More to come first of next week

Easy to see why many Florida seek

First check 14, now up to 21

Earth settled down, having no fun?

Never seen quake list with so few

Maybe USGS partying through

The day, not hitting update

Naa, I know they don't have to wait

For humans to do the job

Long past plotting, turning a knob..

Rain seems to be getting more steady

Means, for a nap, I'm more ready

Certainly no sky show here

But, if you're living where it's clear

Venus getting brighter & higher

Saturn, Jupiter viewing down to the wire

And, then we'll have pulled away

Summer 'fore they come back our way

How about a tire house view

2 days ago, full moon shining thru

Stay warm & dry

And, nap on!!

Today On Earth

Feelin' Like December

Air is cold and dry, sun is bright

Going out, better bundle up tight

Cuz it's feeling like December today

Sun is low, we're tipped away

But, during the long winter night

Moon's almost overhead & bright

Then the tilt works the other way

Get out & check it today

Quake list is short, volcanoes, too

Only 13 mountains blasting thru

In Ecuador, Sangay & Reventador

Have blown open the eruption door

New Zealand, White Island semi-calm

Kinda, no current blast alarm

9 folks not coming home

Taking chance with a volcano roam

Only 3 in Indonesia this week

Japan & Aleutians, 2 going freak

Russia's Kamchatka with usual three

Quakes: not much shaking that I see

Only Greece with a 5.1

Change with every turn toward the sun

Never know what's gonna come

Thirstday fun, go on, have some

Today On Earth

But, check out bright Venus tonight

Yesterday, 4:45 & already out

Saturn little lower today

Quickly it will fade away

And, near full moon

Rising in the east, soon!

Venus & Saturn Get Close

Venus & Saturn less than 2 degrees apart

In clear skies, that's a good place to start

In the west, with moon rising in the east

That will wash out Geminid meteor feast

Sun, Earth Moon line up just after midnight

Full "Longest Night" moon the sight

Hangin' in Taurus, near Aldebaran

Tomorrow to Gemini, moving along

Summer triangle still high up in the west

Winter constellations, 10pm+ viewing best

Cold front is thru, it'll be chilly out

I'm hoping for no clouds about

Over an inch of rain fell here

Til Friday skies should be clear

Then more rain, and next week, too

Nothing but change rolling on through

Western ring, Alaska shaky today

Still trouble in Greece & Turkey

And, another little shake in Western VA

Hope ain't nothing headed this way!

But have to say, there will be weather

And, always more quakes..whether

We like it or not

With Earth, it's what we got!!

New Zealand bracing for new eruption

Gas, ash & quakes! Clever deduction!!

It's an volcano acting up, stay away!

May have mentioned, Earth don't play!

Here, we are playing Holladay Tunes

Solstice season upon us soon

All this fuss, cuz Earth's tilted away

Marking longest night & shortest day

Ten days until Sun "stands still"

Then 6 months to reverse the thrill

Get out and enjoy!

Today On Earth

Just can't let it go..

What with impeachment show

Hunting is done for the "witch"

They caught the pussy ass bitch

Never the season

For presidential treason

Make Nixon's crimes look minor

Lock up every last lying whiner

Burn the witch at the stake

Lotta wood that'll take

Send Melania into smile attack

Probably smell like a big mac..
