AND GOOGLE STILL SUCKS...just the worst..I type, it deletes...Verizon service, SUCKS..Amerigas..a text telling me NOTHING!! Corporate America, they don't care if their service sucks, they don't have to!!
The sun finally was visible yesterday through the clouds, then no clouds, then we turned away from said star and the crescent moon, Mars and the lovely stars of winter appeared; more sun this morning but that just began to fade ahead of the next mess. Will it be snow, sleet, the dreaded freezing rain? Most likely all of the above with colder temps at the surface and lots more moisture than last week's storm. We'll know by midday Friday what happened. I need a town/store run that I should have done yesterday..I'm guessing that will be a nightmarish trip, maskless douches likely also about. So many idiots, but I was one for not going yesterday..AAHHHHH!!
At least, gradually, new TrumpVirus cases and deaths are declining nationwide (worldwide???); still California (especially LA area) big numbers and FL, GA & TX, lands chock full of reality deniers got 'em dropping like flies.
The middle of the US still languishes in the deep, snowy freeze that is the Polar Vortex, days with temps below freezing, below zero in the northern plains. Here the aftermath of the last ice storm, tens of thousands without power still in southside Va.; the fragility of running power through lines above ground from centralized distribution centers. Still we cling to century old, polluting, unreliable technologies, corporate monopolies caring not about change, just the status quo and bottom line.
Ain't no need to make no change
Hurt economy if we rearrange
To the rich, the money must flow
So, new ideas, away they go
About our greed, we got no shame
Not our fault, we accept no blame
Keep our guns, our only plan
That's our platform, republican
Earthquakes, again, above average numbers and lots in the mag. 5 range; one at 5.5 in Greece likely knocked some old buildings down. Aussie/Pacific boundary zone from Indonesia to Tonga still with a combination of aftershocks and new subduction remains stirred up. Aleutians also with a few shakes. Earth..doing what it does.
There are several spacecraft (3) closing in on Mars, some to land and prowl another to orbit, probe. With Mars getting close last Fall, this was the biannual window to send craft to the Red Planet. Ham radio operators here on Earth have improved technology to the point of monitoring those space craft; pretty cool. The sun remains quiet, but plenty bright to warm my house, alas, that window is closing for a couple of days; high clouds continue to waft in, foreshadowing tomorrow storm event.
Stay safe out there, not much of the country that has avoided the winter wildness; even a storm related tornado ripped through the south. Prepare to hunker, Today On Earth.
