Once there was this lovely, cool, dry day
So yesterday... now it's gone away
The front that brought that hint of Fall
Is heading back north after a brief stall
And, August will finish up with rain
Way more than what's needed to sustain
Lawns & gardens, creeks & trees
But, certainly fungus, mold & disease..
RVA rain record, 16.3" for August
Today's rain might be the thrust
To take 2020 to number 1
Rain is OK, flooding no fun
But, what ya gonna do
Warming Earth shining thru!!
30 meter space rock
Tomorrow, will take Earth in stock
Prediction: will miss by 72K miles
No collision, a round of smiles
Today On Earth!
🎂
Van Morrison turns 75 today
Get your Moon Dancing underway!!
Cranking fine tunes for over 50 years
Keep 'em coming Van, cheers!!

Big ole gibbous moon last night
With Saturn, Jupiter; what a sight
Made it easy to see arc of ecliptic
Just solar plane, it ain't cryptic
If at equator they'd be overhead
But here, 38 degrees down instead
6 days till moon hooks up with Mars
With background of Pisces stars
🌋
Indonesia with mud volcano eruption
4 dead from atmospheric corruption
Mid-Atlantic ridge w/ 6.5 quake
Must be more lava trying to make
A push, sliding continents apart
Every day, Earth with a new start
Philippines, Persian Gulf & Vanuatu
With 5+ quakes rolling through
Also, MO, OK, TX & AZ
Little US quakes to see
But, long as no tsunami in Atlantic
Earth really ain't too frantic
🌪
Unless you count 4 potential storms
Season is peaking, coming in swarms
Do whatever you can to stay dry
As August washes on by
Today On Earth
You know the rules
So..stay safe, be smart
Masks on & stay apart
