After a science teacher reunion/get together at York River State Park, I'm back to the tirehouse. The PBS Hemingway special is done, the Masters is underway and clouds are moving in ahead of the next stretch of unsettled weather. No big shakes but a pair of amorous snakes..
I heard the rustle, then saw the tussle; must be spring, snakes having a fling!! Getting busy!!
Since sitting here and looking out into the forest two days ago, the viewshed has been quite restricted, lot of mallow green and dogwood white. One day without feeders and the birds have blown me off, only squirrels in the yard, couple of birds instead of a few dozen; word will get back out.
Nothing hitting magnitude 6 on the shaky planet today; no real issues anywhere it appears. 23 volcanoes on the weeks list, mostly usual suspects; several in the Aleutians are on the list to report their stations are down (snow the suspect) but no activity. Two in that archipelago are belching a little ash; Kilauea still with a little lava action but no big issues. Etna, Pacaya, Sinabung and a couple on remote Japanese islands are going wild still, keep your plane away and there will be no problems. St. Vincent and Iceland still listed, former with slowly growing magma dome and latter with new fissure and some lava expansion but little ash so no immediate threats from either.
Sun is very quiet (well, for a star..), no spots. I'm sure there will be no sky viewing here tonight with pending rain/clouds; likely to continue through the weekend. Moon is New late Sunday night so a very thin, very low early morning crescent these days.
TrumpVirus deaths took a big jump yesterday...oh...OK reported 1,716 deaths yesterday. Must be catching up for 2021 in the sooner state, maybe get things out a little sooner, too busy blowing up the earth sucking every last drop of oil out..too bad about all that salt water with it..oh just pump that deep and deny it's causing your quakes that are destroying small towns..oil jobs matter more than health and safety!!
With another 73,000 cases yesterday, the new surge is coming, driven by young dumbasses caring more about their phone than killing grandma..but I got a great selfie and 100 likes...I'm so cool... I drove past a new bar/restaurant (PBR- just that name would keep me away, those initials referring to a very smelly, bad beer) and outside was packed and not a mask in sight..dumbasses deep in racist TDS* land..I got out quick as I could..but, in reality, that's where I live, too!
Coffee is done, nice to actually have some this morning...long story.. and time to track down a dog. Stay safe out there. My 2nd shot happens tomorrow!! Relative relief, relative safety; it's all relative in a country so full of idiots(at least 70+ million), Today On Earth!
