The fog was so thick this morning it looked like it had rained, everything is wet, soaked. The sun is trying to burn through but it was just repelled; clouds persist. The colors just keep getting wilder, green still rules but it is losing the palette battle. Very mild overnight, only 56 for a low - think that was at midnight?? 66 already and with sun help we may hit 80 today!! A warming world, although there was snow across the upper midwest yesterday, more today for the upper plains. A warming world, driving extremes!!
Lots of aftershocks in Alaska but mostly nothing too shaky, China and Chile got pretty good little pops (5.1 & 5.7), Oklahoma very recently shaken but just a 3.2 reminder that freakin' frackin is a bad thing.
Orionid meteors were flying around this morning (not that I could see..) and more close encounters with space rocks today, two inside the moon's orbit. Good thing it's big out there!! Crescent moon was lovely last night, approaching Jupiter and Saturn, Earthshine showing while we were out looking. Mars was too low to see well from my yard at dusk but its red beacon-like brightness kept bursting thru the trees. Even the summer triangle was visible through the high cloud haze, still pointing at Jupiter. Polaris..still sitting up there over the North Pole; true north (well, really close..).
Hurricane Epsilon (season's 10th hurricane)will give Bermuda another scare over the next couple of days but will likely not make a direct hit. Deep in the Caribbean, another system is being watched, plenty of hurricane season left in this record smashing year.
Lying Punk'n Head prez says we've rounded the corner on TrumpVirus, on another day of 60K+ new cases and another 929 Americans dead. If wishes were horses...we'd be even deeper in horse shit. Still long lines for testing, food banks, at the unemployment offices, bankruptcy sign up windows and to get into ICU's. But, also to vote early, to get this lying pig out of our White House; get him out, get him out, get him out, get him out, in the prescient words of Robert Cray.
Stay safe, be smart, mask on, stay apart..it's so easy, yet so many are so stupid, all starts at the top with worst prez EVER!! Today On Earth.
Heard a clever news person mention the way it could have been...If prez had come out with a mask on in late January, or even in March, and said hunker down wisely the whole world would be better...downside to that, he would be breezing to re-election instead of flaying toward major rejection. Maybe those 221,000 deaths will not be in vain..Today On Earth.
