At the outside bar for 4/20 blog, going to be a lovely day. For now, a bit cool with tree litter and flying insects swirling about in the light breeze; a variety of buggy creatures. Indigo, azure, royal, bluebird; pick a blue, not a cloud in sight..well, distant horizon, such that it is.
Shaky day in USA but nothing big, AK & PR with the most. 6.0 in Sinabung, Indonesia, near eponymous volcano and 5.0 off Chile on mid-ocean ridge. Bay area, Cali, with 4.0, good little reminder for them.
Moon is one quarter of the way around Earth in it's moonthly trip, it'll be a bright twilight tonight. Big solar blast zapped short wave radio signals in northern Pacific and another CME could refire auroras in the far north and south. Moon was beside Castor & Pollux last night, the Gemini twins. Minor meteor shower overnight tomorrow, the Lyrid's, as we fly through dust from a comet visitor in Civil War times, comet debris still there. 15/hour max rate and moon light will cut down on that; wee hours best chances..I'll be napping:)
Saw a Rufous Sided Towhee yesterday, common spring visitor; later a Hairy woodpecker on the dogwood suet, big beak on that bird. Cows in the field behind me now; everything is better with some cows around...
TrumpVirus cases still up, deaths down but still almost 500 yesterday, over half of adult Americans now with at least one shot; good news. Sadly, about 1/3 of 'mericans won't get it, religious, political and other irrational and superstitious reasons..don't believe science/medicine, throw your phone away, it must be a magic demonic device...70 million say a stupid thing, still a stupid thing..Every Day On Earth.
Today is a good day to mention the continuing moves in the direction of personal freedom that we brag about so much in this country. Marijuana laws, really enacted to make it easier to jail blacks, are gradually going away across the US. About done in The Old Dominion, officially 7/1/21. Grow your own, tax sales, teach your kids responsible stimulant usage by demonstrating or at least discussing at home. And, things are better. Responsible parenting again, it's the key. Deal with issues there and they don't spill out into the world with horrid consequences. But, there is a lot of slime out there and we are far, far, far, far away from rational leadership hopes...still, good signs abound and the negative energy & hate are at least not having gasoline poured on them daily, good riddance Rush, seeeeya donny, ya douche.
Get out and enjoy Earth's bounty and loveliness, it's 4/20, Today On Earth!!
