An Icy Mess..But, Some Good News!!

In very good news, Rush the Limpjaw is dead at 70, his fat, misogynist, racist ass looking 90. His buddy, donny the douche, presenting him a medal..like Hitler giving a medal to Mussolini, all fitting into the human waste of skin category, with Rush, a lot of skin, stretched to near full tick status.. Rush, go straight to hell, although that would likely be too nice for you; better the cold nothing of forever!!
Next passenger for the death train to nowhere, donny, we can only hope for a massive heart attack, laying 5, his first two drives OB, but claiming 1 on the 1st tee...don't want him to get even one more hole in!! Fingers crossed!!
Lots of fingers crossed all across VA and adjacent states, that power remains on... so far, so good. Sleet and freezing rain coating our world with the heaviness that is water; it's a mess out there; nasty!! In a time of hunkering, today is the type section for the grand hunker!!
While US TrumpVirus numbers continue the downward trend in both cases and deaths, still another 2,471 Americans died from donny's denial and inaction yesterday; another 70,000+ infections. Vaccination continue, albeit at a slower pace than if Joe had inherited ANY kind of plan or infrastructure, any..but, there was none, zip, nada, zero. 

Got no shame
Just lots of blame
Got no idea or plan
You must be..republican

In a very recent example..Texican governor (well, he's pretending to be)Abbott blamed wind and solar for the massive power failures all across the Loon Star state. In typical "let's burn more hydrocarbons" fashion, he blamed green energy when his state produces most of it's power from, shocker 😱, oil and gas. Seems like the governor should be the one to blame; isn't he supposed to be the leader, in charge?? Like their kin in corporate America, when caught red handed, republicans will be happy to pay you off ($125K standard rate per rape) but will never accept or admit any blame. "We couldn't shore up the grid, had all those welfare payments..hey exxon, how 'bout a tax break".
In plate boundary news, 23 volcanoes on the list this week; Guatemala's Pacaya & Fuego still getting wild and crazy, blasting, spewing, oozing and shaking the locals..8-12 blasts per HOUR!! Much like Etna, all four craters/vents blasting big in Italy. 5 mountains getting busy on both Indonesia and up Kamchatka way, no surprises there. Philippines has two regulars stirring to life, Kilauea continues to ooze basaltic magma, Soufriere St. Vincent's lava dome continues to grow, they're still warning folks not to venture into the crater..DUH!! A new Soloman island to be works closer to the surface in the south Pacific, all in all a pretty standard week on a very lively planet.
Fairly standard shake list, two quakes at mag. 6.1 in the Tonga region, Puerto Rico still shaky, none in California (unless you count the 456 families shaken yesterday by the loss of a loved one to the TrumpVirus) and one along the Rio Grande in south Texico, who ya gonna blame for that Abbott. Another 6.1 and 5.3 just added down Tonga way.
NASA has its fingers crossed today when after 7 months of space travel (thru temps similar to N.F. Dakota) a new, improved rover will touch down on Mars, roving and sampling in a search for current or fossil life. With a 7 minute communication lag time between the two planets, there'll be lots of nervousness at mission control as the auto pilot sets 'er down; hope for the best!! The mission even has a drone; pretty cool and amazing that 114 years after a first flight on Earth, we are about to have a first flight on Mars!!
'Bout time to venture out, refill a neighbors stove, let a not too thrilled with the rain/sleet dog consider a poop & pee and see what's up on the icy planet. Stay safe, hope your power keeps flowing, and happy hunkering. No reason to drive anywhere, Today On Earth!!
