March Lambs Out

Another bad sleeping night for me

And, another morning chilly as could be

But, the air is finally from the south

And, even with little taste in my mouth

My recovery seems on the way

And, while better, it ain't happening today

But, warm air is nice and coming back

Tomorrow likely 70 we'll crack

And, the dry and warm will continue

Until a front Sunday brings rain, cooler, too

April starts the front cycle again

First cool northern air, as High settles in

Then return flow brings the southern air

Warmer is what makes me get out there

Lot of quakes on earth today

61, but none above 5.4, just a minor sway

18 volcanoes on the week's list

Guatemala's Fuego should be missed

15-25 explosions per hour

Make for a nasty rock shower

If you had clear skies and early eyes

Waning crescent moon, Jupiter surprise

Tomorrow's moon is just above Saturn

By April 1st Venus gets it's turn

Gotta go, take a stroll

Put my dog on patrol

Hope you're feeling better than me

And, that you get on out and see

What a delightful planet this be

Today On Earth

Mueller Thriller

DonnyJonny daChump claims he's off the hook

But we all know he's a slimy liar and crook

Con man, racist and misogynist pig

Running his mouth in a yellow wig

Hoping prison orange will be his new look!

Clouds coming on in

With maybe a little light rain

Cool mornings, warm days

Still Chilly, Wet Northeast!

Quick TOE today

Down Carolina way

Our rain is done

Northeast best run

Storm turning into Nor'easter

Gonna be a beaster

Ring of Fire still erupting

Stay away from that disrupting

Pretty shaky Thursday

Usually spots in play

Gotta go and get fed

Early for me out of bed

Golfing requires early rising

Hope my swing low on surprising

Today on Earth!

Sun Returns, Still Cool

Winter continues its last stand

But sun is warming up the land

The wandering dog is back home

After his last, early morning roam

A little quaking down New Zealand way

Recovering from another killer racist day

Killing muslims ok to shithole daChump

How long to get over this presidential bump

How many more die from easy guns

How many more parents create racist sons

About 100 folks in US will die today

From NRA encouraged cheap gun play

War and oil still fueling the greed

Just how much money do they need

How many bodies to fuel that bomber plane

Earth still don't care that we're insane

We won't change but planet continues to

Got to be bottom up, from me and you

Cuz the folks in charge don't care

Congress' plan: just to stay right there

Get in office and never leave

While worker bees still struggle and grieve

And, pay the way

Everyday

For uneducated poor

And rich, greedy, corporate whores

Today on Earth

But, on a sweeter note

Moon was gorgeous last night

Venus, Saturn and Jupiter a morning sight

Still a lovely world

When we aren't hating or killing each other

So, check out this cute kid

Now a young man

Saw his mom yesterday

Found the pic

Made her day

And mine

And, I bet his when he sees it!

Bet it makes your's

From April 2007

At a rough tire house

A Cool St. Patrick's Day

High pressure, the air pushing down

Very dry with low temps all around

Chilly times from coast to coast

Yet winter is mostly done; toast

But, the cool will linger into spring

Even as the sun crosses the equator thing

Which occurs Wednesday evening about 6

And, starts the northern warming fix

But, still the week ahead will be cool

No thoughts of heading to the pool

Quite a shaky day along boundary zones

Heat inside escaping, the surface moans

Shaking the Azores on mid-Atlantic ridge

While Indonesia slipped another smidge

California, Chile, Alaska still shaking

And, Greece, Japan, India, Tonga quaking

In quiet Va. the sky is so clear

Sun is warming, moon light in full gear

Get out tonight

For a walk in moon light

Layer up, gonna have to dress warm

Least cool air slows mosquito swarm

Always a challenge, living on Earth

Get out wander, increase the mirth

...Today On Earth

Beware the Ides of March: A Taste of Spring, Then Winter Finishes!

The last few days, taste of Spring

Alas, we all know, here's the thing

This time of year

It should be clear

Winter seems to have a way

Of sliding back into play

Just ask folks in the western USA

About the wild blizzard there today

We are on the warm side of the storm

That's good, 90 mph wind is not the norm

Or is it...the new norm

Warming energy swarm

Just found the first tick of the year

From dog or woods walk, unclear

So, a little chill might slow that scourge

Warm air and everyone gets the urge

To get down and breed

Spring, creatures feel the need

The peepers have been peeping

No reason to be sleeping

When love is in the air

Pollen and song everywhere

Yet the harsh reality, ain't no jive

Them bugs want to, eat you alive!

One big quake, magnitude 6.3

And, just now 4.7 in Chile

PNG and New Zealand also shaken

Not a big shock they are quakin'

21 volcanoes on the list this week

If exploding mountains you seek

Indonesia leads the list with five

But, Kamchatka's four also plenty alive

With Sheveluch warning planes away

Peru's Sabancaya cranking 15 explosions a day

Reunion Island was oozing, now on break

Kilauea still on a dormant streak

Waxing moon now in its gibbous phase

Moving into spring constellation maze

Clear or clouds it'll be bright tonight

With our satellite bouncing our star's light

Morning planet show has spread a bit

While in the evening, Mars is it

Get out and enjoy today's mild air

I know it has awoken a least on bear

Not here, but not very far away

So, I guess I'll have to say

Be ready and willing to share the wood

But, Today on Earth, outside is so good!

A Few Dry Days

The ground is still soft, muddy-ish but no clouds and no rain until Friday. A welcome break where after a record year we are already ahead of last year's total for rain. Last night the waxing crescent moon was hanging with Mars, tonight will be in Taurus' face, the Hyades. Aldebaran, the red eye of Taurus is nearby. If you have clear skies (and it's looking like that here), the bright stars and constellations of winter are high in the sky after sunset.
Really quiet day of quakes, nothing even magnitude 5. Yesterday, saw a good little shake at Tanaga volcano in the Aleutians, we'll see what the USGS volcano site has to say tomorrow.
Very average temps for this time in March here; spring you always want it warmer than it seems to be - but so do the bugs!
Still, a pretty nice day to get out and wander your world, Today On Earth.

daChump still a fool

Says something stupid, denies

Then tells a new lie

Still Gross But Hope For Change

Clouds, rain, gloom & cold

Are really getting old

Throw in a haircut & shave

With living in a tire cave

So ready for spring in VA

Or just some sunshine this way

And, it could happen today

With a warm front into play

The start of Daylight Saving Time

Earlier from idiot congress slime

Put bus waiting kids in the dark

To serve some industry lark

But, hey it's always about money

Congress think about kids, that's funny

While daChump sucking republicans deny

The fat orange prez is a spy

His buddies keep going away

To prison everyday

Standard-ish earthquake day

Couple of mag. 6 PNG & Fiji way

And, other boundaries usual scene

And, A Little Dusting!

While the weather guys said no snow

I'm back to tell you that just ain't so

A nice little dusting this afternoon

But a hope for spring real soon

After days of sun with cold

Yesterday's halo foretold

Precipitation for today

Snow, down our way❄

Magnitude 6.0 Philippine quake

Topped today's list on the planet that shake

With the southwest edge of the fire ring

Being the spot today's quakes are happening

I heard Popo is really blasting in Mexico

And, Piton de la Fournaise is ready to blow

Both blowing new Earth right on out

A hot, rocking planet, there ain't no doubt

Me, time to get on out

And, walk in the snow

It's where I'm gonna go

Get on out, check out your world

Today on Earth

More Rain, More Cold!

Wet and cold, but not enough to snow

That's the way this winter seems to go

6+ inches of rain in the last two weeks

Crazy wind, swollen rivers, flooded creeks

Quite the shock after my southern tour

But, what I expected when I went out the door

And, now high pressure builds, temps fall

A week like mid-January, y'all!

A quiet quake day and week

4 corners Colorado & W.Va. bit of a freak

And, moon is nearing new

Too close to the sun to view

Clear mornings still quite the planet show

Jupiter up high, Saturn middle, Venus low

Mars still out in evening, Mercury gone

That quick moving planet never out long

Winter constellations setting early

Now Leo & Virgo raising surely

Gonna be cold but finally mostly clear

Bundle up, check out the sky with a beer

Three different woodpeckers on the suet

Downy, Red Bellied and Hairy, going to it

Birds are glad we are back

Feeders long empty from their attack

Then there's the bird seed eatin' dog

Slurping it up like a hungry hog

This time next week: Daylight Savings Time

More on that with a future rhyme

Until then, get out on your world

Today On Earth

MARCH But Still Winter

Big wind after heavy rain

More of the same, again

Two Leyland Cypress blown down

Most beech leaves on the ground

Creek out of its banks, once more

Sand deposits, erosion for sure

Now back home to more of the same

Nice down south, here still winter's game

More rain, near ice and cold air

More daylight, yet here

It's clear

Spring ain't near

7.0 quake early morn in Peru

Near border, Bolivia shaking, too

40+ quakes in last 24 hours

Plate shifts, reminds of Earth powers

Unless we frack, pump salt water deep

Greed now, while problems creep

Future will keep showing 

How our mess is growing

Just no way of knowing

How next crisis will be blowing

Up in our face

At current pace

Yet, still we whine, I don't believe

Earth don't care, we can't deceive

We can improve

Go with the groove

Earth provides all we need

But, gotta lose the greed

Always a test

Hope you pass

Hope you enjoy

Today on Earth
