Cool and breezy is now returning to warm, nearing hot for a day. Storms across the south and midwest today remind us it's spring and a wild, warming planet. That rain chance gets here tomorrow with a fairly common, May roller coaster weather ride for the coming week.
Only 2 quakes today above magnitude 5, Chile' and across the Pacific off New Zealand with those shakes. Guatemala with some shimmies but 3 active volcanoes around, are quakes really a surprise. Overall numbers pretty average for a broken, mobile planet.
Sun is still working toward a more active lifestyle; the new solar cycle gradually building. New sunspot seems to be fired up and about to turn our way. AND, I spotted Venus and then Mercury last night!! From a fine spot, a hilltop with a clear western view, still in the yellow/orange glow of a clear sunset. Venus low but bright, Mercury much dimmer and straight above, a bit; WOOOO! Inner planet show will improve over next couple of weeks, find a good spot, bring binocs. I completed the inner planet tour spotting Mars as I got out of the car upon arriving for dinner at Obrigado!! Jupiter & Saturn are the two brightest non-twinkling "star" in the pre-dawn sky.
The TrumpVirus has now killed 576,000+ Americans, another 702 kicked off May Day. Stupid politicians and stupid people in India & Brazil make those the current hot death spots on the planet; their mutated strains sure to arrive here soon..another wooooooo but lower case, as deserved. Vaccinations are slowing in the US, stupidity and lame excuses combine to explain the reluctance, plenty of vaccine available.
I didn't catch much of the Sunday news show scene today, catching up on sleep. Quick listen, same lame excuses from republican, but no ideas & no plan. First commercial when I turned on TV..here was my first thought..
Shoot the botox in your face
Signs of life, there'll be no trace
Still it ain't gonna erase
Nor will it replace
That when the truth be told
The reality is... you are old:)
Get out enjoy the warm
Stay clear of the flies that swarm
Today On Earth
