And, We're Back To Rain..

Once there was this lovely, cool, dry day
So yesterday... now it's gone away
The front that brought that hint of Fall
Is heading back north after a brief stall
And, August will finish up with rain
Way more than what's needed to sustain
Lawns & gardens, creeks & trees
But, certainly fungus, mold & disease..
RVA rain record, 16.3" for August
Today's rain might be the thrust
To take 2020 to number 1
Rain is OK, flooding no fun
But, what ya gonna do
Warming Earth shining thru!!
30 meter space rock
Tomorrow, will take Earth in stock
Prediction: will miss by 72K miles
No collision, a round of smiles
Today On Earth!
🎂
Van Morrison turns 75 today
Get your Moon Dancing underway!!
Cranking fine tunes for over 50 years
Keep 'em coming Van, cheers!!
🌔
Big ole gibbous moon last night
With Saturn, Jupiter; what a sight
Made it easy to see arc of ecliptic
Just solar plane, it ain't cryptic
If at equator they'd be overhead
But here, 38 degrees down instead
6 days till moon hooks up with Mars
With background of Pisces stars
🌋
Indonesia with mud volcano eruption
4 dead from atmospheric corruption
Mid-Atlantic ridge w/ 6.5 quake
Must be more lava trying to make
A push, sliding continents apart
Every day, Earth with a new start
Philippines, Persian Gulf & Vanuatu
With 5+ quakes rolling through
Also, MO, OK, TX & AZ
Little US quakes to see
But, long as no tsunami in Atlantic
Earth really ain't too frantic
🌪
Unless you count 4 potential storms
Season is peaking, coming in swarms
Do whatever you can to stay dry
As August washes on by
Today On Earth
You know the rules
So..stay safe, be smart
Masks on & stay apart

First Hint Of Fall

Laura came thru yesterday
Put her swampy air in play
Than a cold front pushed it all
Left us with a breath of Fall
65 was low this morning
Will be no heat index warning
At least for a day or two
But, this summer is not through
Heat & humidity will be back
Warming world on the attack
Plate tectonics, minor lull
Not much push, not much pull
Biggest quakes a 5.1 & 5.0
Don't seem like much of a show
But, Earth time is long & deep
Pressures build, rocks still creep
Know those pressures will release
Quakes, volcanoes will not cease
More storms wait, coming soon
Steady as phases of the moon
Moon, Saturn, Jupiter in a line
In clearing skies, looking fine!
Where will next hurricane go
That we just do not know
What we do know is quite sad
1,007 more dead, most news, bad
More dumbasses with no mask
Soon for ventilators, will all ask
TrumpVirus help, testing, need a lot
Racial justice, no more people shot
Still, we really need a leader
All we got is a lying tweeter
Today On Earth


Meanwhile, in the land of fox
Where it's all white in their box
Everything stays the same
Republicans always blame
All is peachy is their claim
Lie onward with no shame
Can trace it all to one name
One giant, lying, traitorous lump
The pretend president, Trump!
Their hypocrisy was on display
Protesters taunted as he walked away
Pussy Rand Paul "feared for his life"
Now he knows black folks strife
Every day, fear of a cop
That whining Rand will not to stop
Take a walk in other's shoes
Maybe a new way we'll choose..
But, not until Punk'n Head is gone
Only then can hope of peace come along
On Earth!

Swampy Storm Breath..Yuuuck!

The Gulf air Laura dragged to VA
Crawled in, sultry, late yesterday
Humid, salty, from deep down South
Walking in a swamp monster's mouth
Today is cooler with a nice breeze
Storm less an issue here than tease
Two new systems stir in the Atlantic
Down in Cajun land, life still frantic
People now dying from CO gas
Generator inside? you're a dumbass
Federal help still slow to arrive
Many will need it to survive
But, we all know prez don't care
Likely only show for photo op there
Another 1,009 the TrumpVirus claims
Wonder who today he blames
It came from China, sure..
But, our safety, he didn't insure
No response, called it a hoax
Every day, more lies he chokes
What is also crystal clear
Hoping for Russians to interfere
That is treason, cut & dry
With a firing squad he should die!
Should lock up whole family
So, never again will we see
It would be... like a rebirth
Today On Earth

Less than 30 quakes worldwide
But, pressures build if rocks don't slide
Today, Earth may seem at peace
But, soon we'll feel pressure release
Forecast: couple of cool, dry days
Before a return to heat & haze
Still got almost 4 weeks of summer
Warming world still lead drummer
If you have clear skies tonight
In southeast, a lovely sight
Saturn, Jupiter, big ole moon
Last night for Saturn, out too soon
Jupiter & Moon shown thru the haze
But, ringed world too dim to blaze
Through the thick swampy air
Really, hint of salt, I swear
Seems Laura has moved on thru
Skies clearing, woo, woo, woo
Hey, stay safe & be smart
Mask up & stay apart
Today On Earth

Another Day, Earth Still In Charge

Earth don't know, Earth don't care
What we humans are doing out there
Seen a lot at 4.55 billion years old
Still just moving hot to cold
High pressure still moving to Low
Give air a spin & watch it go!
Laura giving Arkansas a turn
Before a Kentucky & VA burn
While two more storms await
Will they be small, or maybe great
As Jimmy well penned, Tryin' to Reason
With Hurricane Season
"Squalls out on the Gulf Stream
Big storm coming soon.."
Two planets hang above rising moon
If you don't have clouds in the way
Will be lovely visual payday
Another day w/o any big shake
Our star still on a sunspot break
News is Laura & American chaos
Last 4 years, so much pain, so much loss
Can't take 4 more of this TrumpVirus
For some hope we're all desirous
Cops & militias on the rage
For civil war, setting the stage
Viral president fans the flames
Makes excuses, always blames
Still touting his viral success
With 181K  dead from his mess
Likely 6 million cases by month's end
Flatten curve, we didn't even bend..
Across my table the shadows creep
We are into this summer deep
Still got heat but there are signs
Tilted world has new designs
Tomorrow, Laura gives us a lash
Then into cooler air we will pass
But, won't last long...global warming
Records exploding should be alarming
During storm chemical plant exploded
Government inspectors all demoted
With no one watching big industry
More chemical fires we're gonna see
Another spill, another forest fire
Won't be Earth that's gonna expire
But, ain't no money made in peace
So, on "defense" contractors fleece
Ain't no money made from health
Sickness is how you grab the wealth
No money made by eating in
No money made by staying thin
No money in responsibility
So, more pollution we will see
Can't get rich paying workers well
So, unions, you can go to hell
No money made by us shopping less
Keeps us in "made in ghina" mess
Everywhere, it's all about greed
Fuels fat power junkies need
To make things better, need a plan
And, it ain't coming from a republican
So simple to slow TrumpVirus pace
Just put a mask on your face
Then we need to stay apart
But, 'Mericans ain't very smart
Say their prayers & "I believe"
But, Earth we just cannot deceive
It has rules that ALL must follow
Or your population it will hollow
Cajun dumbasses wouldn't evacuate
But, then expect help, just can't wait
Ahh, poor baby, your trailer is gone
But, we know who this is on
It's on you, it is your fault
What you watch on fox will not halt
That Earth don't care but gonna change
If you don't grow & rearrange
You're just gonna be left behind
Lookin' backward you won't find
Anyway to the past return
As onward the future does churn
Alas, this rant ain't helping me
Out on the Earth I need to be
So, stay safe & be smart
Wear a mask & stay apart

Laura: 1 - Louisiana: Nil

LAURA
They thought she might get to cat 3
But, in warm Gulf, big strong 4 she be
Bayou State still being devastated
All from global warming we created
Maybe there is some Earthly karma
For location of this big bad storm'a
Louisiana is the home to oil & gas
Drilling, refining, polluting out the ass
If Earth is gonna pick a spot to hit
Texas & Louisiana would be it
Many dumbasses refused to evacuate
For help calling but will have to wait
Know, ain't no federal help coming
When strings of fear GOP is strumming
"Look what we've done, we're so great
Give us 4 more"..I think we can wait
If this is a good job, don't want to see
How really bad a bad job would be
Yet, as another storm takes a turn
Louisiana seems very slow to learn
(More stirring as I write
Hurricane season's getting right)
Now for them, want us to pray..
Why? didn't work before in anyway
Repeated denials, sign of insanity
That would be about all I see
Today, on Laura's Earth

Along Indian/Burmese border
A little 5.4 quake disorder
Otherwise, mostly around the rim
Quake numbers still looking slim
Around Puerto Rico is no stop
Just another subduction pop
🌋
Volcano list again with 14
Indonesia rules with 6 on the scene
But, only Sinabung really erupting
& Reventador w/ Ecuadorian disrupting
Otherwise, just little ash escaping
Matching humans, Earth is vaping
🌔
Moon into waxing gibbous phase
Tomorrow night it pays
Jupiter a visit, will be just below
Tonight, will Sagittarius teapot show?
Cuz, that's where the moon will be
Gotta go out if you wanna see!!
But, it will be hot & humid, too
Couple more days 'til we are thru
With the current High pressure dome
Before Laura makes VA home
Wild girl should pass thru fairly quick
In LA, life will still be sick
Today On Earth..
& for days to come..

Yesterday, 1,260 more Americans dead
Now 180K, all on prez Punk'n Head
He still smiles & he still brags
Not enough tests, too many body bags
Idiot militias in the streets with guns
From any blame, the prez still runs
Just like he ran from Vietnam
So he & dad could work slum lord scam
Here's the sad reality
That Donny just can't see
Love trumps hate!
But his sad version...wait
Love, Trump hates
Today On Earth

19th Amendment - 100 Years & Laura Explodes

100 years ago today
The vote finally came women's way
19th Amendment was ratified
After decades & centuries denied
Decades of struggle & male abuse
Now it's time for women to cut loose
Get these male pigs out of power
World could use an empathy shower
Listen, think, ponder & care
 Maybe then we'll get somewhere
Deal with a rapidly warming world
Deal with racism daily unfurled
Cops with guns but no accountability
Hard for person of color to feel free
But, got it now, better use the vote
As GOP repeats their lies by rote
But, if you're armed, fat, rich & white
Sure, everything will be alright
But, you're skin is black or brown
A racist cop's ready to take you down
Simple answer, need women elected
Then racism, war & greed rejected
19th Amendment was a game changer
Now, must remove TrumpViral danger
69 days until election
Or vote early to miss PO rejection
This I do truly know..
Punk'n Head has got to go
News reports will be inspired
To say, DonnyJohnny, "you're fired"
Today On Earth

Speaking of big, bad, strong women
TX & LA about to go swimmin'
Laura knocking on Gulf coast door
Made the jump, all the way to cat. 4
Wind, rain & a monster storm surge
As reality & global warming merge
Marco delivered rain body blow
Now Laura's ready for a knockout, whoa!
Here, a front thru with very little rain
But, at least,  humidity less of a pain
Laura may get here by Saturday
With devastation all along the way
7th storm to make US landfall
'Fore August ends, Earth's having a ball!
We add the CO2, Earth holds the heat
Flooding rains & fire storms; neat!!
2 weeks before peak of the season
Set more records, can't see a reason
To doubt there are lots more coming
Just more to add to global bumming
Dictators continue to rise to power
Yet protesters refuse to cower
Without moral leadership from USA
Attempts at democracy crumble away
Change can't get here fast enough
Having fair election will be tough
Mask up, get out & vote
Then we'll watch Donny tote
His fat ass out of White House
Then into cuffs for the louse!
Lock him up, throw away the key
No more lying tweets we see
Today On Earth

If you use technology but science deny
TrumpVirus help, give preacher a try
Or call Donny's own witch doctor
Voodoo & aliens being her proctor
2 slow days, then another 1,136 dead
USA, 5.8 million cases, 179,000 dead
180,000 Americans are dead!!
All because of the prez, Punk'n Head!!
As more families mourn & cry
Our "leader" continues to deny
Today On Earth
So, mute & ignore the GOP
A mask, so no spittle we see
Wanna stay safe, gotta be smart
Vote, Mask Up, Stay Apart

Laura: Ready To Explode

As little boy Marco fades away
Big girl Laura's looking to play
After 6 months of serious cooking
Waters in the Gulf are so looking
To let loose their excess heat
And, along comes Laura, sweet!
Now cat. 1, will she get to cat. 3
Global warming fueling her destiny
With High pressure giving a shove
Western Gulf about to get her love
While in Cali, 600+ fires rage
In Kenosha, another idiot cop on stage
7 shots into a black man's back
 3 kids in the car during the attack
As GOP convention stokes the fear
Any hint of a plan, they steer clear
Seriously, they admit they have no plan
Just re-elect our lying, slimy man
Did not watch, disbelief during recap
Got serious issues if you like their crap
Hate fueled white privilege still the goal
Leaderless America out of control
At least TrumpVirus numbers are down
But, as schools open, will be rebound:(
TDS* morons still won't wear mask
But, carry a gun, don't have to ask
Punk'n Head failures; very long list
He will soooo not be missed
Today On Earth

Bit of pressure release on display
Along plate boundaries today
Tonga, Costa Rica & African rift
Peru, off Somalia, plates adrift
Caribbean plate back to shaking
With PR & Hispaniola quaking
Sun slips back to minimum mode
But, Mars brightness about to explode
Two year chase is about done
Earth of Mars around the sun
Got a scope, get it ready
Mars views should be heady
Soon, off Earth
Until then stay safe & be smart
Mute the GOP
Wear a mask & stay apart
Today On Earth

9 Years Ago...

AFTERSHOCKS...
That's what was going on
Cuz our HS was, well, gone
9 years ago, yesterday
Mag. 5.8 shift came our way
At 1:51 in the afternoon
Craziness, was coming soon
But, not as crazy as this year
TrumpVirus still stoking fear
Then, long days, 3 per week
At least, dinner & drink I'd seek
Now 2 days, w/ virtual thrown in
Every day retired, grin & grin
And then grin.. again
And again...and again
But, we really need a leader
'Stead of traitor, liar, tweeter
Today On Earth

South of here
Weather is not clear
Marco is banging on the door
Of the Gulf coast shore
Laura is giving islands a rake
Before giving a coastal shake
Cajuns thinkin' if, not when
As storms hammer again..
And again..and again
Yet, Marco's just a little guy
But Laura, oh me, oh my
Into Gulf waters, so very hot
Major storm..she's got a shot
Just a little more
For prez to ignore
Today On Earth

While 9 years ago, aftershocks
Today, very few moving rocks
5.5 biggest on list today
No big damage underway
Today On Earth

New election day internet fright
About Earth vs. a meteorite
More fraud hoping to fear
Most likely rock will steer clear
But, only 2 meters in size
In sky, just fireball surprise
Bigger danger & a real issue
TDS* as armed militia
Threats & fear at polling station
In badly divided nation
More chaos coming soon
Steady as waxing of the moon
GOP convention, lies & fear
A plan for future, very unclear:(
World can't handle more of the same
War, greed, oppression their game
What new lies will the prez tell..
As he punches his ticket to hell..
Best to ignore that pussy ass bitch
Got our country in a deep ditch
So, you stay safe & be smart
Wear a mask, stay apart
Today On Earth

Marco..Laura..Marco..Laura..

The race is on to New Orleans
Who'll be first storm on the scene
Looks like Marco'll win that race
If city survives, Laura may erase
What ever remains, we will see
In an town now below the sea
Western heat wave moving east
With our rain, a humidity beast
Out in Cali, forecast: thunderstorms
Likely to spark more fire swarms
560 fires burning, last I heard
Fed help coming, that'd be absurd
Can't fight a blaze with a tweet
Can't tweet water from the street
TrumpVirus, another 1,013 dead
Ghina born, response on his head
Prez claims if he's not the boss
Will be "Anarchy, madness & chaos"
But, that's what we have today
Only ends if Punk'n Head goes away
Like his 2016 campaign staff
Slimy jailbirds wallowing in graft
"Lock 'em up" is what we need
If we're to stop the fascist seed
That is growing fast worldwide
Our "leader" by dictator's side
Senate report reached the conclusion
With the Russians, Trump collusion
With prez's head's up Putin's ass
Another 4 years, we'll take a pass
Today On Earth
🌎
Only one quake even at 5.0
Wonder if fracking is getting slow
Crescent moon waxes on
🌒
I won't see til clouds are gone
Still haven't gotten a peak at Mars
Hangin' out among Pisces stars
🌧
From July 22 to yesterday
Almost 10" of rain came our way
Less than 1/2" in the month before
Who knows what next lies in store
Well, that storms will rage, fires burn
For TrumpVirus end we all yearn
Simple end from an easy task
Stay apart, wear a mask
Today On Earth

Seriously Muggy!

At first, seems pleasant outside today
Then you move, sweat comes to play
We are deep in the August muggies
Of course, in your face, lil' buggies
Throw in the web of a spider
So easy to be an insider
Today On Earth

Laura & Marco, a blooming threat
Gulf coast gonna get really wet
Throw in storm surge & the wind
Likely there'll be much to mend
2020, many more storms on the way
Oceans just making heat go away
Today On Earth

Virgo's Spica near crescent moon
Sunspots coming into view soon
Jupiter & Saturn beam in the SE
Mars is nearing, going red beast
Venus still morning beacon
If early rise you are seeking
Tonight Off Earth

Little quake in the Motor City
But at 3.2, just itty-bitty
Along Southern Mid-Atlantic rift
Magma oozes, 5.9 & 5.4 rock shift
East side of Philippine plate
For a quake, never long to wait
4 quakes in Texas & in Cali?
Lone star with a pre-storm rally?
At least, Alaska & Puerto Rico
Having a quake day that's slow
Today On Earth

Get out, enjoy, it's Saturday!
Into public? a mask on display
It's so easy to do your part
To stay safe, stay apart
We can make TrumpVirus go away
Let logic & science lead the way
Today On Earth!!

Laura, Meet Marco!!

Hurricane season's about to get real
Young love the Gulf is gonna feel
When Laura & Marco enter & hook up
The devastation will be beyond abrupt
Good thing our president has us ready
With help & aid that will be so steady
LOFL...
Every Gulf state, governor's a moron
"Ain't no reason to put a mask on"
"Ain't no reason to follow CDC rules"
"It'll be ok to just open the schools"
But, Earth seems to have a way
Of making the stupid pay
Another day of carnage, deaths: 1,369
With that number, the prez is fine
Prez calls it a "hoax" Senate disagrees
Russian election aid, was easy to see
Putin just poisoned another rival
Steve Bannon, another jail arrival
Another scam, build the wall fraud
Poor Donny is taking it hard:(
Ain't no wall, no repeal & replace
Just more lies told right to our face
Meanwhile, Dems put on a great show
A zillion reasons Donny's gotta go
Joe Biden cares, works to make a deal
All Donny does is use lawyers to steal
Dems offer plans & some hope
That America will no longer mope
That change can come with a leader
But, ain't no hope from current tweeter
Virginians, big date to remember
Early voting starts 18th of September
Until then, reject the lies & despair
Let's spread hope everywhere!!
Today On Earth

Another fairly slow shaky day
After 6.9, no wave is underway
Indonesia will remain semi-safe
Real issue, their rain forest strafe
Slash & burn, replant for palm oil
As onward we deal with climate roil
Here it's kinda misty & cool
Out west, that is not the rule
In heat they sizzle, fires rage on
Thousands of forest acres now gone
Iowa; little Fed derecho help coming
Now Gulf coast is gonna be bumming
Onward rages TrumpVirus pandemic
Protesters gone, racism still systemic
And, climate change ain't going away
More in our face every day...
Every day
Even..Today On Earth

Mars & Earth are getting tighter
Red planet will keep getting brighter
Rises by ten, low in the east
Pre-dawn still best eye feast
Only Moon & Venus outshine Mars
Brighter than any of the stars
Tiny crescent moon tonight in Virgo
Near Jupiter & Saturn, a week to go
Be a few days before I can see
Still as cloudy as can be
At least yesterday, we had no rain
Likely not to be today's refrain
But, deep South better be aware
For big wind & flooding rain prepare
Likely on your own to survive
With no FEMA help to arrive
Congrats to the new love birds
Laura & Marco'll have final words
As 2020 puts 2005 to shame
And, our "leader" just looks to blame
We now know that Donny the knob
Just ain't fit, for the job
Today On Earth
