The big blue marble is riled up these day (not really, Earth don't care). Blizzard conditions in the Great Lakes, move south into ice in the form of freezing rain, here it was just rain and in the Deep South, tornadoes. Cali with blizzard and rain and soon...mudslides. Oh yea, TrumpVirus deaths and transmissions still rage across this country and worldwide. And, since we've refused (well, millions of TDS* dumbasses have refused) to follow simple precautions we've given the virus the huge laboratory it needs to really mutate. Now evolving ever more rapidly into new strains, new variants. 421,000 dead Americans, over 25 million cases, TDS* you really made America great again! World Virus Champ - the TrumpVirus!!!
Half dozen magnitude 5+ quakes today, all along the Aussie Pacific boundary zone. Average looking quake day, otherwise, also along boundary zone, in particular the Ring O Fire, Pacific plate subduction always ongoing.
A solar belch has increased the solar wind engulfing the Earth, firing up auroras in the northern polar regions, pretty stuff. The moon approaches Full, brightening the clouds last night even as the rain fell. Thursday is the day for the Wolf Moon, straight behind the Earth at 2:16pm EST. Throw in a storm, now seriously downgraded here, and spring tide coastal flooding will add to the raucous scene.
The TV weather folk have been going gaga over the snow potential her for Thursday but the system has sped up and looks to stay south, perhaps a dusting here. Change on a warming world, deal with it:)
My morning wake up came from a young, female cardinal banging into a tire house window (seems to be more bird collisions on cloudy days). Breyer, was drooling at the door, a feathered breakfast in sight but I managed to hold him back, collect the stunned bird, center her on the outdoor bar, out of the big dog's reach and give her time. Breyer was seriously bummed. By the time I got back up and he returned from his morning visit with his girlfriend, the stunned bird was gone; good luck to her!!
One tube feeder is empty, the other close; 4 hours to empty two feeders, bird mania! 2 or 3 dozen out there feeding at any one time. Eat away, you little feathered piggies.
Not a great photo, but there are lots of birds in it if you look close..
Maybe the rain has stopped here, still cloudy, gloomy, cold...but, time to wrap this and take a dog on a wander. Stay safe out there, be smart, mask on and stay apart...Today On Earth!!
