More Clouds & Gloom

Another in a long line of chilly, gloomy Va. winter days..barely below freezing to start, into the 40's, more clouds than sun, no real shot at rain or snow. With the trees dormant, ground water levels (the water table) is still high, muddy trails anywhere low lying after a near record year of rainfall.

Earthquakes numbers are back down to lowish levels, only 2 above mag. 5 worldwide. There are still lots of folks recovering from recent big shakes, never fun; during a pandemic in winter, much less so.

The usual Sunday reporting dip in TrumpVirus deaths, only 1,700+ reported for yesterday, likely lower than actual. The far less than great, USA, still leads the world in cases and deaths; 24 million infected.

As California leads the way in cases and deaths, ICU's full, so are the beaches. Thousands out enjoying the warm weekend, sunbathing, strolling the boardwalks, most without a mask, dumbasses!! We have not only a health problem in this country but a serious stupidity problem. Throw in current youth, never having been told no, never losing (everyone gets a trophy), still believing they can be anything they want, living on their phones, oblivious to much around them (get out of my way...), still stuck in the immortality of youth with racist, undereducated white TrumpDickSuckers and here we are, death, turmoil and insurrection. Nice job donny!! Just as I predicted: way more damage in 4 years than W did in 8.

At least no solar storms coming although a little above normal solar wind will spark arctic auroras. Maybe I'll see the moon tonight, maybe Mars, maybe Mercury. Clearing prospects are not looking good right now. Also, no meteoroids making a near Earth flyby...so we got that going for us:)

In a standard corporate America tale, it has now been 3 weeks since I placed an order online (can't get anyone on the phone) to have Amerigas fill my propane tank, NOTHING. No reply from their chat room, no reply to emails, no one answers the phone, the recorded message still telling me I will have that delivery by the 11th. I'm about to see what response I get if I disconnect the tank and roll it out for them to come get. Bet their stock price is at an all time high, though.. Corporate greed always taking precedent over consumer need. Also, willing to bet most of their employees are TrumpDickSuckers that are now infected, or arrested after taking time off to try and overthrow our government.. long as stock prices stay high, no problem.

Stay safe, be smart (we need a lot more of that), mask up and stay apart, Today On Earth.
