Almost Springlike..

The trailing edge of a front came thru early today, just a trace of rain and now it's toasty outside..well, warmer anyway. Sun is bright, few expanded contrails and already almost 50. Very few earthquakes world wide and reports were that TrumpVirus numbers were beginning to drop from post-holiday surges. Yet, Indiana reported over 1,500 deaths yesterday taking the national count to a new one day high of 5,116!! I wonder if in Hoosier land they have been just letting bodies pile up and finally picked someone (likely underpaid and a minority) to actually tally the bodies. This is the state that elected Mikey Pence governor...voted for donny the douche twice so there are lots of fat TDS* and even more denial there. Who knows!

Vaccine rates are still slow nationwide, VA claiming to have improved, blaming lack of supply but Ralphie has dropped the ball; nice job doc! California still 5/600 per day dead; should surpass NY before weekend is out.

Republicans showed a little backbone yesterday, but only a little. Voted to keep Liz Chaney, certainly never to be called centrist, 3rd in house..but, only by secret ballot. Didn't vote to censor wack job Greene so Democrats stepped up and kicked the qanon idiot off all committees. She's dangerous, threatened other house members; she shouldn't be kicked off committees, she should be jailed for sedition and treason. Dumbasses screaming censorship should remember it's not censorship to say you can't yell "Fire" in a theatre or threaten violence or plan a coup on your twitter account. You didn't read the rules, no one does, but you agreed to them. Not surprising republicans only grow a pair on a secret ballot.

Our solar system passes through another sectional fold in space with a change in polarity that may trigger some auroras up north. Otherwise, sun is still slow to get into next solar cycle, no spots. Moon waning into a crescent and February rolls on!!

Stay safe, be smart, mask on, stay apart..Today On Earth.

Big cold coming late next week...we will see!!
