A Hot Halloween! Congrats To Nats!

🎃

Same temp, San Diego & N. Maine

Map: winter/fall boundary so plain

After World Series bordering on insane

Here almost 70, waiting on mo' rain

Trick or Treating gonna be wild

Squall lines like a tempestuous child

Just like our Punk'n Head prez

🎃

Ranting & lying with all he says

"Call was perfect" again & again

Accept no blame, you're a republican!

Just deny & whine, that's the plan

Excuses & lies, you are republican!

Meanwhile, Earth still on the move

Philippines still in shaky groove

Another mag. 6.5 quake

More buildings had to break

At least their volcano back to calm

Major quakes more than enough alarm

Ring O Fire is the name

Circle of Shakes, do the same

But, there is fire blasting there, too

16 mountains, lava blasting through

🌋

Mostly blasting in western Pacific

Two S. American eruptions are terrific

Two in Aleutians, planes steer clear

3 on Kamchatka, minor fear

Indonesia down to 4 this week

But, all blasting, stay away you meek

Piton de la Fournaise oozing basalt

All ok now, just a short assault

Just another day on Earth

Everyday, planet will test your worth

Volcanoes, quakes, wild-ass storms

Here, cold air pushing out the warm

Have to hunker down and wait

Big time wind we anticipate

Then tomorrow November: cold

Today tomatoes happy, tomorrow old

Right now, more leaves fallin' than rain

Wind, leaves, color, quite the scene

Take a chance outside today

Before we turn away

From the sun

A walk or a run

Last warmth for awhile

Cuz when we turn back the dial

Darkness will arrive early

You'll miss summer, surely

But, it's still here

Today On Earth

How about those Nats

Gotta take off our hats

Battled back and won

World Series, crazy fun

7 games, not one home win

We will never see that again

Houston, sad, in mourning

They be alright, just won a ring

Just hope Nats snub daChump

Tell him, stick it up your rump

He'd just make it about him

It's not, so congrats to them!

Nice job Nats!!

Major Congrats!!

A Warm Fall Rain?? Warm?

Rain & leaves both coming down

One to cover, other soak into ground

Temps are mild, in 60's still

But by Friday, a major chill

October going like summer pumpkin

November entering like winter lion

Snarling & cold, frost on the way

Garden gets zap on this Monday

But, today & tomorrow, it's rain

Fire danger gone, do not complain

Think of Cali, lost in smokey haze

Climate change drought fueling blaze

Or blazes, I really should say

There are so many out west today

While in the Rockies & onto the plains

Frigid temps & deep snow remains

Crazy extremes in-between seasons

Tilted planet, all of the reasons

One day it's summer, then winter's here

37 in Tulsa, Nashville 64 today

Big diff an hour plane ride away

Been reading the TOE, one thing is clear

On planet Earth, nothing but change!

Homeostasis (Sheldon) hard to arrange!

Especially with surface broken in plates

Where plate edges don't quite mate

Pressure releases, earthquakes come

Here with boom of big ole bass drum

But, glad none here today

Aftershocks roll Philippine's way

Southern island has major destruction

90% of structures need reconstruction

Quakes offshore in Puerto Rican trench

Subduction giving plate a big wrench

But, no really big shakes today

Just planet stretching in usual way

Got clear skies, check them out

Moon a lovely little crescent pout

Sneaking past Venus toward Jupiter

I won't see it, that is for sure

Clouds & rain are here to stay

For all of Halloween day

Trick or Treat

Your call

Today On Earth

Home field advantage

Surely not this year

Crazy World Series

That much is clear

Who wins tonight

Takes home the crown

One dancing in delight

Other tears running down

Both teams so good

Both amazing years

Hitting horsehide with wood

Bring on the cheers!

And, lets

Play Ball!!

⚾

A Warm Bowl Of Trix

Ya gotta love this time of year

Even when the sky's not clear

The forest colors, a bowl of Trix

Today with milky sky in the mix

Vibrant shades of red & yellow

Warm southern breeze, so mellow

Another day of blogging outside

As we continue our frost free ride

A warming planet, so obvious

So many humans, so oblivious

Just checked world pop clock

7.6+ billion humans on this rock

Just about tripled in my 65 years

22.8 in 2085? major tears!

We can wise up, apply breeding brake

Or see how many Earth will take

Major correction before 22 bill

Easy fix, women pop the pill!

Tell idiot men no kids until

Planned & ready for parenting thrill

Plan: none, one or two great kids

Then population hits the skids

Growth for growth is the cancer way

 Yet, that's our economic model today

Need to get more women elected

Greedy, slimy men; de-selected

Think about it when you vote next week

If quality change you truly seek

Think: who would Putin vote for?

And, don't vote for them...

Mag. 6.6 quake today in Philippines

On land, so no tsunamis seen

But, so far, 6 deaths & major damage

A shallow 6.6 is a major slammage

On island overpopulated & poorly built

Spinning reality with "god's plan" tilt

Then demand science based help & rescue

And, overbreed onward, without a clue!

Patriarcal religions pushing overpopulation

Oppression of women needs reevaluation

Soon!!

But, where's the crescent moon 🌒

Low in the west, near Venus & Mercury

Need good view, clear sky & binocs to see

Might be last open night look 'til Friday

With more clouds headed our way

Thursday, Halloween, looking wet

Then quite a bit colder, a safe bet

As, we head into November

Turn clocks back, remember

Moving a whole hour of light

To morning, aid bus driver sight

But, in the evening, dark so soon

More time to check out the moon!

Get out

Today On Earth

Another Lovely Day

Vibrant fall colors, toasty warm

Seems above, but what really is norm

High cirrus clouds, crystals of ice

Cruising in, looking so nice

They are harbingers of change

Earth set on constant rearrange

Cirrus forecasting a wet Halloween

Oh no, candy sales looking lean?

Gotta keep the sugar a'flow

Diabetes & profits grow!!

Better go get some M&M's

Can't stay away from thems..

Big quake off Cali/Oregon border

No report of tsunami disorder

Just another reminder Oregon

It has been waaaaay too long

Without a big quake

Y'all ready for a major shake?

Three quakes elsewhere at or over 5

Guessing they left everyone alive

But, Cali, quakes with monster fires

Less and less, land of all desires

Our drought with rain, over quick

So, we're sitting here feeling slick

Shouldn't be smug, change here, too

Ignorance don't look good on you

Yo Earthlings get a clue

More issues with all we do

Only together can we get it changed

First, vote out those deranged

Got to believe the science

Already there with total reliance

Think your preacher sent up satellite

Priest will fix cell phone? right!

They're still claiming world is flat

To live right gotta wear a hat

Put middle age beliefs to rest

About to take big reality test

Question 1. How ya gonna adapt?

#2. Is migration more apt?

Part 3. All gonna die one day

Science or mystics, what's your play?

I'm going with science on this test

Try and live better on our little nest

Earth

Still the best

Today

And, onward!

Snakes!!

Yesterday's warmth; a copperhead

Explains why I carry big stick

Spot, identify, smash til dead

With big hickory, all over quick

Dog stepped right over, no dread

Right on the moss path, looking slick

Smallish, now dead

Copperhead

Rain Here & Gone, Warm!

About 5:30am front & rain arrive

By late morning sun is back alive

And, it's toasty warm, balmy now

With leaves falling like the Dow

Punk'n Head prez crowing about big kill

Of Isis leader, in usual tweets so shrill

Troops out of Syria & into Saudi Arabia

Thug buddies happy, kissing ass with fat labia

So Isis leader gone, group far from dead

Prez's comment fueling more hate instead

More testify to his treason every day

Never denies truth, makes a loyalty play 

Blames ones that told, who put country first

Those that criticize, they are the worst

Never done wrong, everything is perfect

But, really, born with narcissistic birth defect

Impeachment evidence continues to grow

From people actually in the know

That won't suck up to Punk'n Head fool

Let's hope it's over before the yule

Then lottery for the firing squad

Where to sign up, I'll make that ride

Lot of subduction in Aleutians today

But, seems no tsunami underway

4.5 quake off Puerto Rico

More subduction making a show

Couple of shakes in Hawaii, too

More magma trying to push through??

 Just Earth, moving, letting out heat

Undoing pressure where broken rocks meet

Moon is new just before midnight

In between Sun & Earth, out of sight

Be near Venus & Mercury in two days

Then, near Jupiter in evening haze

With rain gone time to get out

Cleared trails now covered, no doubt

With rain & wind leaves just let go

Colors keep building for the fall show

Get out

See for yourself

Today On Earth

New Madrid, MO: Shake & Storm Center

Wildness out along Mississippi

Big storm center, old faults gettin' slippy

Quake was small, storm is not

East of front, almost hot

And, that's where I'm sitting today

Tomorrow, wet coming our way

Nice and warm ahead of front

Then things will get turbulent

Today's shake action around Pacific

Biggest along IDL, to be specific

Line where new days get a start

But, only matters on human chart

Fish, squid, turtles & birds don't care

🐠🐙🐢🐓

Just want our plastic out of there

But, trashing planet, we don't care

We're making money everywhere

Money not going to make a meal

When future troubles become real

Bet rats & roaches, mosquitoes be fine

🐀🐜🐛

With or without us, down the line

Earth still be spinning, too

Seasons, years, eons: true!

Step up, speak out, play a part

Still majority of people smart

We better hope

Future's here, we ready to cope?

Should not seem strange

Earth will continue to change

We can have a role

Step up and take control

To make the future better

Before we get planet reject letter

Seeeeeya

Didn't follow the rules, don't be sore

Same letter sent to the dinosaurs

🙈🙉🙊

Enjoy the warm

Before the storm

Today On Earth

Another Nice Day And Then..

The southern Mississippi valley

Is ringing up the rain tally

And, it's headed our way

But, not today

Today is fine

Tree colors sublime

Fall on glorious display

Again, get outside and play!!

Another average day of quakes

Broken up crust, always the shakes

With clouds and tiny crescent size

Spotting the moon would be a surprise

Sky viewing limited til next week

Cause it's clear skies you seek

And, our weekend is looking damp

Maybe rethink any plans to camp

Still get out, it's just rain

When it don't come we complain

When it comes on the weekend

We often complain again

You should enjoy it on your head

With no rain, we're all dead

Dry up and blow away

So, little rain is OK

Today

On Earth!

The "ruling" party is lead by lying con man

Prez guilty, blaming process seems the plan

Same thing they did to Hilary

Now they claim it's all silly

Spineless pussy ass bitch, every republican!

Just Gorgeous!!

Amazing, lovely, gorgeous, so fine

Southern breeze, azure skies, sunshine

It was plenty chilly this morn

But now, warm above the norm

No cirrus to warn of coming storm

We'll worry on that Saturday morn

Back outside, writing on new bar

Dodging brightness from our star

With dogwoods red & hickorys yellow

Earth shouting a big get outside: hello!

You should listen, get out today

Tomorrow clouds back our way

Get out

Wander

Today On Earth

🌋

The volcano list's a little thin

Almost half in Indonesia again

Not a shocker

That Krakatoa's a rocker

Etna still covering towns in ash

Pavlof spewing in Aleutians

Avoid area, airline solution

Nearby Shishaldin lava oozing

Again, keep you plane from cruising

Anywhere near an ash cloud

Jet engines, soon no longer loud:( 

Hawaii still having little quakes

But no lava has what it takes

To make the surface move

How long before back in groove?

Earth time

Human time 

Very different..

🌈

Gotta love cut glass prisms

At a window filled tirehouse!!

Mostly average earthquake day

Texas panhandle, snow on the way

Big wild planet spinning on

Another cruise around the sun

Waning crescent moon

Still high in sky at noon

Couldn't spot Venus or Mercury

Above setting sun they should be

Too much light & atmosphere

Need binocs to make 'em clear

Might give it another look tonight

Sky is sure looking right

Breyer

AC units finally out today

With only cool headed our way

Dodged another frost last night

Garden hanging on tight

But, it's coming

Soon

Cold, freezing times

And, more silly rhymes

Get out, enjoy your planet

Today On Earth!!

🌏

Lovely Day For Atlantic Quakes

4.5" of rain in the last week

Has our drought looking meek

Yesterday's front is long gone

Severe loveliness has come along

With a nice northwestern breeze

I'm blogging outside under trees

While beneath the Atlantic, major shakin'

6.3 quake on the Ridge, magma wakin'

Scotia plate & Puerto Rico also movin'

Another day on Earth just provin'

Nothing is ever quite the same

Every day, a new Earth game!

Except Punk'n Head prez, hath no shame

Same ole brags & lies he doth proclaim

If you say it enough it must be true

It's not, so they're going to impeach you!!

Alaska quaking & southwest Pacific

And, Oklahoma, ain't fracking terrific

NO!

It is not and time will tell

When Earth rings reality bell

Just wandered for a Venus check

Cuz sometimes it's a daytime object

Blocked the sun and took a gaze

No luck, wait for sunset, reappraise

Spotted moon before dawn

When dog woke me with big yawn

Didn't hang for a meteor look

Just a quick check he took

Then back to bed, napping on

Playin' sleep-in, retired song

About to go plant some baby trees

Chestnuts, hopefully no blight disease

It's nice living in the wood

If fewer humans, more of us could

High pressure keeping clouds at bay

Get out, walk on your planet today

With Fall's beauty shining through

Some Hump day peace for you

Today On Earth

It's 10/23

Many will see

Avogadro's Number

So from 6:02 until 6:02

Mole Day is coming at you

All you chemists, enjoy!

Make A Dog's Day

Today is Make A Dog's Day

A day to bring home a stray

Or throw a lot of love their way

Or take your's out for extra play

Cause a dog makes life so much better

Poodle, Chow, Mongrel, Lab or Setter

Ruffle one come rain or shine

A dog ain't nothing but fine!

🐕

The storm spawning a Dallas tornado

Is here, I'm watching the water flow

At least it has toned down a bit

Those mountains give a storm a hit

But, we got rain, the drought is gone

Leaves having trouble hanging on

Still mostly green in my forest

More color on Ridge to the west

With cooler air mass heading this way

Should put first frost on display

Front is cruising, gone later today

With fine weather headed our way

Could be unsettled this weekend

More rain, more drought mend

☔

Two Indo/Aussie boundary shakes

Collision, subduction, rocky breaks

Not one on map in lower 48

But, we won't have long to wait

It's Earth, it's gonna keep movin'

Shifting to get pressure removin'

Early risers still peek out

Orionid meteors are about

Likely spot a crescent moon

But, should be out til almost noon

When I'm more likely to be up

On late morning retrieval of my pup

I'm a lucky guy with lucky dog

Gonna wrap this daily blog

And, join that dog in a nap

Today On Earth!

Punk'n Head Haiku

🎃

60 lies, one talk

Excuses, blame, so clueless

Daily, bigger mess

The prez is a big ole fat Punk'n Head

Filling the whole world with dread

Lies & tweets, tweets & lies

For Putin, it seems he spies

Impeach & then firing squad, he dead

Rain Break, Meteor Shower!

Today a slight clearing between rains

I can almost see the sun again

There's more rain lurking to the west

Still drought relief, far from a pest

And, then two lovely days

Warmer with clouds swept away

For early risers, take a peak outside

Might see a long streak slide

Across the morning sky

An Orionid meteor cruising by

Dust left by Halley's comet 33 years ago

Moving fast, air crash, friction, a glow

Orion the Hunter will be high overhead

Check it, if before dawn you're outta bed

But, not tomorrow

Clouds, rain, meteor blocking sorrow

Quarter moon earlier today

🌗

Easiest to see in early light of day

But, not tomorrow

Clouds, rain, moon blocking sorrow

And, solar minimum so no sunspots

Likely only thing on the sun, a dot

As Mercury crosses sun, 11 November

I've have more, to help you remember..

If you live along our northern border

Northern lights from sun's disorder

Solar wind storm later this week

Southernly Auroras, bit of a freak

Alaska got the shakes today

And, Vanuatu with big 6.4 sway

But, very deep so no big wave

5.4 in Iran, shaky Earth won't behave

Sun is back, clouds are thinning

Dog is snoring, I am grinning

What a good dog, the Breyer D

Curled up cute as can be

Time to do finally party clean

So, no more trash is seen

Your week, mix of rain & sun

Either way get our for some fun

Today On Earth

🌎

Nestor Rain!

The remains of Nestor rolled on thru

Rain here, inches in gauge, over two

But, system is racing up the coast

At least drought is gone, a Toast!!

More normal cycle coming back

3 clear days, then front & rain attack

No frost here but down to 34

Garden can linger a little more

Lot of quakes Pacific/Aussie boundary

In California, San Andreas still shaky

OK & Texas, more quakes there

From salt water injection it is clear

Still they keep blowing Earth up inside

To keep oil flowing so we can ride

Nestor's wind are kicking today

Most leaves resisting downward play

Fall colors are turning up the show

But full color still a ways to go

Tomorrow is last quarter moon

Catch it before setting just after noon

Here clouds will likely linger on

But, Nestor's rain mostly gone

Bowl of gumbo brought me back

Now another chocolate snack

And, a much needed  nap

Party did the energy sap

Hope you use this rainy Sunday

Recharge before new week underway

Then another walk

Today On Earth

22 Years Of Party!!! Ahead Of Nestor!

Blog has been on a break

So much stuff to make

For 22nd annual Fall Party

Hope to seeeeeya smarty

Earth still spinning and shaking

Trop Storm Nestor this way making

Dumping rain in deep southeast

Not hurricane but still a nasty beast

Bringing rain here Sunday morning

Then quickly heading on; fish warning

That's it for today

More to do before I play

Seeeeeeeeya

Today On Earth

🎉🎶🍻

Pressure Extremes=Wind

Yesterday two systems came together here

Bringing rain and leaving skies clear

Now over New England as a mega-storm

Leaving us with air far from warm

Our big High and their big Low

Have got the air/wind all a'blow

Air, land & water all want to be the same

Same temp, same pressure, play no game

That just won't work on world that's round

 Attempted equalization leads to swirl around

Wind, ocean currents, magma movin' plates

Pressure/temps differences; Earth fates

Big pressure issues today

Wild wind got leaves at play

High wind warning for the Valley

But, it will calm & temps will rally

In Cali, Kansas and Oklahoma

Shifting rock is taking over

From Japan down to Indonesia

Pacific plate having quake seizure

Volcano list way down this week

As usual, Indonesia not for the meek

Almost half the volcanoes on the list

East side of fire ring, only 2 persist

Don't worry, they'll all be back

With another lava attack

Got out too late last night

For Venus & Mercury sight

Saturn & Jupiter, now farther from Antares

But, low in NW Arcturus tarries

Summer Triangle rules sky overhead

To bed early, catch moon in morn' instead

🌖

For now, leaves flying all about

Time to get the sweaters out

And, get out and enjoy the Fall

That's it for now, y'all

Today On Earth

New/old table looking nice

RAIN!! WOOO!

After a day off from the TOE

Delightfully, rain has made a show

Over 1 1/4" inches on last check

Drought no longer on VA wreck

But, even with all this rain

Creek not yet flowing again

Just water pools, yesterday dry

It'll be back, by and by

More rain in forecast for Monday

That pattern, for a month, gone away

Earthquake pattern cranking up today

6.4 quake left Philippines in broken way

Across Pacific, off isthmus of Panama

5.1 quake gave sea-floor the see-saw

Cali Bay area couple of shaky days

Just San Andreas moving aways

Always quakes off Puerto Rico

And, Oklahoma, salt water frackin' flow

Waning gibbous moon later rise each night

Might have to see if Uranus I can sight

Venus & Mercury very low in the west

Good view & binocs on that quest

Jupiter & Saturn still out there, too

After sunset, it's a lovely view

Yesterday a little weird for me

Actually, worked until I couldn't see

But, got it all done ahead of the rain

Close to ready for party playin'

Rain has slowed, time to go

Mo' party prep don't cha know

Nice to be able to take a rain walk

Even with a dog trying to balk

Hope you get out and get wet

Today On Earth!

Way to let down Kurds

Punk'n Head prez Putin's boy

Sucks! spy in White House

We got a prez, got a head like a Punk'n

He continues to give rule of law a dunkin'

Rushes to help the Russians out

A spy & traitor, there's no doubt

All he does, left with an odor of skunkin'

Fog...Whoa!!

Haven't seen any fog in awhile

With turning leaves, made me smile

Fog pretty common in fall around here

But, you need some moisture in the air

Well, yesterday, 2/10th on an inch fell

A minor break in month long dry spell

Another High sliding east today

Warm SW air will soon burn fog away

Tomorrow a little cooling down

Before another front comes to town

With rain!! That's the forecast & hope

With drought we'll no longer have to cope

Then another chill, hint's of frost

Before the cool air is lost

And, the best weekend of the year

Comes rolling through warm & clear

22 years, big party to celebrate Fall

Can't wait to see, all of y'all

Wooooo

Only 5 quakes today

Outside of USA

That's the lowest I've ever seen

In many years checking earthquake scene

Not sure what USGS is trying to say

With 4.0 "other event" off Larsen Bay

What other event could it be?

Not a quarry blast, that I can see..

hmmmmm

Japan reeling for Hagibis devastation

While off Africa potential new formation

Hurricane season isn't done

Stay tuned for more stormy fun!

On your planet, it's getting hot

Yet fools still say it's not

Here's a test to run at home

Get an ice cube out & leave it alone

You see what happens to warming ice?

It turns into a pool of water..nice!

Glacier Nat. Park about 100 years old

2/3 of glaciers gone, cuz it ain't cold!

If warming's not from human CO2

Why do oil & coal keep telling you

How they are working to lower levels

Spinning their greedy "truths" like devils

Kicking oil habit won't hurt economy

Just kickbacks & dividends they'll see

Change is coming, bad or good

Working together, like we should

Earth could be much less crowded place

Where everyone has some space

Where needs are met before wants

A world of compliments not taunts

Cuz one on one we get along

But in groups playing only one song

We want to pin others with the blame

Know all the answers we soon claim

But, there is no one that knows it all

So, working together is first step, y'all

And, it better be soon

🌕

How 'bout that Full Harvest moon

I saw the glow through the clouds

And, in wee hours light was quite loud

Will be another bright night

But, for now, sun has fog outta sight

With a little moisture, moss is green

Paths a slippery root & rock scene

But, not enough rain to help creek

With relief that water creatures seek

Did they adapt and hunker down

Or migrate deeper into the ground

Betting the little fish are all dead

The one option we all dread

Enjoy your life, while you're here

Afterwards, ain't nothing clear

Cuz "No one get's out alive"

Jim Morrison said it, ain't no jive

So, you best get out and thrive

Today On Earth!!

What's With This Sky Water?

Yesterday's front came through dry?

But, right now there's water from the sky

A little rain, making everything damp

But, not pushing drought to the off ramp

Last measured rain here, month ago today

Today's rain ain't gonna push drought away

Where they don't need any more rain

Japan, suffering major Hagibis pain

3 dozen dead, storm raging on

Another slow mover, far from gone

Hurricane season going later each year

As sun's energy is not bouncing clear

Seas warming & rising from melting ice

Short & long outlook; not looking nice

Little above average day around quaky ring

Volcanoes & quakes; listen to Earth sing

Moon straight behind Earth at 5:08

Full Hunter's moon, tidal range great

Even though moon little farther away

Sun & moon working together today

To put ocean water into bigger sway

Worldwide coastal flooding on the way!

Climate change happening RIGHT NOW

We can change, not hard to figure out how

Stop burning/subsidizing fossil fuels

Earth/Sun ready with sustainable tools

Are we smart enough to use them?

Or tip... Us or Earth, sink or swim!

Be part of the change

Vote out the mange

Earth just keeps spinning

Greed seems to keep winning

But, only for so long

Need a better listen to Earth's song

Today on Earth!!

Last puddles in entire creek

Wouldn't be Sunday without a diatribe

About Punk'n Head prez, looking to bribe

🎃

Any one for any thing

Long as he gets more bling

More notice, more slime

Nothing but lies, all the time

More blame

Less shame

Likely just started next world war

Cause can't look into the future far

Turk busy gunning down innocent Kurds

Camp fences down, releasing isis herds

Instant chaos in wild, frightful place

Abandon allies, what a disgrace

Sending more weapons to Saudi thugs

Sees no problem as China mugs

Protestors in Hong Kong

World dictators guiding him along

Thinks he's clever, king of deal

While he & his kids continue to steal

Millions from US treasury

In plain view for all to see

Yet, million of fools buy his crap

Unwilling to admit, fell into his lie trap

Hard to be a patriot with no spine

Only real concern, reelection on line

20+ years, NO! only republican plan

Want change, don't vote for a man!

Another Dry Front..

The radar map is showing rain

That is wrong, that much is plain

Cuz the sun just popped out again

Another front here, without rain

Another start, lows in fifties

With a little rain, that'd be nifty

But, drought continues, fire ban

Up in Minnesota, building snow man

Warm in east, cold north & west

Variety: that's why Fall's the best

Big shakes in Alaska, Japan, PNG

Little shake MO, along Mississippi

Usual, Indonesia & off Puerto Rico

And in rift valley of the Dem. Congo

Another shaky day on Earth

Where will next earthquake birth?

A day away from Full Hunter's moon

That and Melissa causing tidal boon

In the inlets of the Bay

Warnings posted today

Slow moving Low, off the coast

Melissa, now a name to boast

Meanwhile, half a world away

Typhoon Hagibis smashed Japan today

Hurricane winds & flooding rain

Human causes, human pain

Friday protests, kids in the streets

Know we need oil & gas in retreats

Losers whine, economy will be lost

Stock holders can't handle the cost

But, here's what kids know & dread

Ain't no economy on a planet that's dead

In middle east, things not good

Turkey bombing Kurd's neighborhood

Punk'n Head prez withdrew our support

Said he was so smart, they'd never resort

To war

Yet, here we are

Impeachment can't happen fast enough

Need to take him away in cuffs

Need to lock up his whole crew

His kids, Giuliani, Barr, Pompeo, too

Know Mikey Pence can't wait for jail

Where good man loving will prevail

So many excuses, greed only plan

Time to remove every republican!

Today On Earth!!

Fall Continues, Dry But Fine!

Cool mornings, fine afternoons

With an almost full, Hunter's moon

Earth is looking fine today

As I blog for 75th straight day

Wooooooooo!

East edge of Ring, lot of shakes

But no big shimmies or big breaks

Big dog back from his morning romp

Catching a nap, pre-woods stomp

Big front & rain over old man river

Forecast: unlikely to deliver

Any rain here

Appalachians with usual moisture clear

Drought deepens

Fire danger steepens

Lot of Cali power still shut down

Ain't no moisture in their ground

Either...

Just reading letters, fools cruisin' Da Nile

Maybe turn off fox "news" for awhile

Claim ice ain't melting, no human cause

And, Punk'n Head prez deserves applause

🎃

And, what a job right-wingers are doing

Claim, really, they are not screwing

Us all

But, big planet don't care

And, history will declare

This a really low point...

My hope; prez serves time in the joint

Supporting rats, starting to jump ship

Another tweet, another guilty slip

Pussy Ass Bitch!

Really Chrissy, that is rich!

Hope all you kids are skipping school

Gonna fix this mess, follow Earth rules

Adapt, Migrate or Die

Earth rules, not going to change

But, we sure better..

Today On Earth

Lovely, But Dry, Fall Settles In

On today, October 10

Low 50's, a good place to begin

Hard to complain on a day so fine

Trusting, rain'll be back some time

Our dry issues are minor though

California, power shut downs, whoa!

Fire danger there is so high

Fear high winds will make sparks fly

Tens of thousands now without power

But, if it prevents another fire shower...

Power plants & grid making less sense

In our overpopulated present tense

Wires & pipes running everywhere

When every structure could just care

For its own daily needs

Our technology far exceeds

The challenges that idea presents

First, better child planning by parents

Just one or two great kids

Puts growth & greed on the skids

Thought & planning; to life sustain

In times of both flood & no rain

Not really that hard, can be done

Need to use our brains & the sun

But, with no leadership or no plans

Change ain't coming from any republicans

But, Abigail, Amy & Juanita Jo

More women, that's the way to go!

Not old guys, sucking the corporate dollar

No abortions, more guns! all they holler

Only way to make things change

Give our representation a rearrange

Another election coming quick

Need to lose slimy republican clique

But, the planet's still spinning round

19 volcanoes making a rumbling sound

6 still in Indonesia, 2 on PNG

Japan & Russia's Kamchatka each with 3

Fuego, Santa Maria, many explosion per hour

Guatemalans dodging lava & ash shower

3 in S. America blasting away still

While in USA, volcanoes all chill

Other than SW Pacific, a quiet quake day

Off Puerto Rico, much less rock in sway

NW USA, another snowstorm underway

40 degree swing just in TX today

Planet just doing its thing, getting wild

Like Punk'n Head prez, tempestuous child

But, Earth don't lie, whine or shirk blame

Always here, always different & the same

Hope you get out for Earth wander today

Or tonight, see what sky has to say

You're an earthling, outside you belong

Look, smell & listen to planet's song

Today On Earth!
