After 4 days of clouds, but little rain
Finally, a morning with solar gain
But, clouds are sneaking back in
So, I'll fire up the wood stove again
But, as usual, change is on the way
Big time warm up; 70 on Monday
Mostly mild all of next week
But, with forecasts, always a tweak
Except for some cold here & there
A warming world seems pretty clear
Aussie wildfires continue to rage
Will any survive our hydrocarbon stage?
Rampant greed
Above basic need
USA could lead the way
Not happening after yesterday
51 Senators wallowing around
Without spines, blobs on the ground
"No witnesses, so no proof"
Look away, avoid the truth
A sad blot on our history
Next: more treason? WW III?
Still, our planet takes another spin
Oblivious to human joy or sin
Lotta quakes, most off Puerto Rico
Hawai'i too, new volcano blow??
Taal volcano in Philippines
100+ little earthquakes seen
Warning level kicks up a notch
Big eruption, we'll have to watch
🌋
Otherwise, quiet earthquake Saturday
Only 4 shakes in low mag. 5 today
OK & Texas, still fracking quake blues
Salt water injection loosens Earth screws
Still can't walk away for oil & gas
Earth don't care, this too shall pass
Winter darkness continues to fade
Daily, 2-3 more minutes of sunlight paid
Into N. Hemisphere's account
And, while it seems a small amount
42 light minutes added in January
Sure makes the winter less dreary
This 29 day month, it's over an hour
So, don't sit inside and cower
Gold Finches are back, at the seed
New families coming, time to feed
Time for me to go find my dog
So, let's wind down this here blog
With my usual advisory
Get outside if you want to see
What a delight this planet we're on
Catch it now, 'fore it's gone
Today On Earth
What a world!!
