Cold & Auroras Heading South

Big ole CME erupted off the sun

Northern state skywatching fun

But, bundle up, still set on cold

Still aurora viewing never gets old

OK/KS border with a 4.3 quake

Fracking/salt injection shook locals awake

Big oil, of course, always denies

In 'merica, big profits, so ok w/ lies

But, Medford OK, buildings falling down

State response, oil brings jobs to town

Perhaps a trailer not house would be better

'Til tornado makes you duck-like, a sitter

Very recently, I was sitting in warm sun

But, as usual, clouds removed that fun

Clouds & cold, January scene

And, white, please some brown..or green

Way we are going that'll be months away

Energized Earth roiling cold air south

Tired of cloud coming outta my mouth

But, with 'merica killing 2,500/day

Hunkered down is where I'll stay

Today On Earth

Moved pics but huge pain

Not as tough as times are for

weak trees...

Although this one has had the hole

for years..still alive??

Spring will tell

Cold, Clouds, Crap...Cont.

Another day, world covered in snow

Clouds are back so only 15 for low

Climate Change the relevant term

Causing humans, worldwide to squirm

Our excesses trapping excess energy

Setting these big wild storms running free

I won't be using weather channel names

Site too busy with corporate ad games

Monster nor'easter headed Greenland way

It came, it went, it blew folks away

Now we're all just left in the cold

And, it has, long ago gotten old

Be nice to just up & go to Floriduur

Little concerned with gun or viral murder

Even today with few state reports

Lots of TDS* headed to new GOP resorts

HELL

It's a hoax/fake news they yell

When donnie says hoax, you know it's true

If he whines fake news, that's true, too

Lying is all he can do

Evil con man thru & thru

There were a couple of thieves, Putin and Trump

Vlad, sick psycho killer, Donnie, truly his chump

Both stole billions then quickly lied

Neither cared if millions died

Good making the world own private body dump

Hispaniola today's quake winner

Everyday, island's tree cover gets thinner

Especially on the Haitian side

From space, devastation you cannot hide

Catholic & voodoo a really bad combo

Believers missing daily reality show

But, begging for money & food

At that, they are quite good

Another world enema site waitin' to fail

Wait on mo-rons, check's in the mail

🌞

This shows smiley face on the sun

And, our star is having big spotty fun

Latest spot has quadrupled in size

Could be sending Earth a big surprise

Stay tuned, for big blast news

Got safe shades, check solar views

Waning crescent nearing Venus & Mars

But, got clouds, no moon, planet, stars

Moon nearing New, again near perigee

More big tides, coastlines will see

Today's reminder..

While we humans keep living large

Reality check: Earth still in charge!

Today On Earth

Tirehouse..before the snow

So long ago

*TDS -TrumpDickSucker...as always

White, Wet, Wind Winter..cont.

First some rain, then some sleet

Then light snow, looking so sweet

Now world is, again, all white

Evergreens hanging on tight

Only 1 1/2", but seems like more

At least now sun is trying to bore

Through the clouds & heat my home

Still not ready for a snowy roam

But, New England coast

Getting Bomb Cyclone toast

Beach front, today you shouldn't boast

Perhaps..a beach you'll no longer host

After hurricane wind, white-out snow

Madagascar, SE Africa another show

Monster typhoon: wind, rain, flood

Turning dirt streets into mud

6.5 quake seafloor off Kermadec Isles

No tsunami, so Pacific smiles

Caribbean plate getting the squeeze

Hoping 4+ & 5.1 quakes not a tease

Big sunspot turning our way

Solar cycle builds, our star don't play

And, millions of mo-rons won't get a shot

17K dead this week, not so hot

2,500 dying every day

Lot of dumbasses in USofA

TrumpVirus still w/ world infected

Is it Natural or Artificially selected

Sucker born every second, hard to tell

Buying crap falsebook looking to sell

Seems about time to venture out

Safety of that, perhaps some doubt

Today On Earth

"new" macbook won't upload pics

so, in an old one I'll stick

but, can't load cuz 

verizon SUCKS

SUCKS

google is pretty pathetic, too

finally...

dog on the dig

In The Snow Free Zone???We'll See..

Bomb cyclone east, cold front west

Our location, this time might be best

Maybe a dusting, maybe an inch

Hope to miss the big snow pinch

January going to finish cold

Snow all month long, the story told

Idiot Donnie and bud Psycho Vlad

Two biggest crooks world ever had

Both working hard to make us all sad

Wishing them dead... is that so bad..

Story today around Ring O Shakes

Off Panama w/ mag. 6.1 boundary breaks

Subduction, or lateral strike-slip

Planetary terms just a minor blip

Just outside..

Hazy clouds, not quite hot sun

Subtle notes, 'head of mo' winter fun

Time to go, make the rounds

BigDog currently off the grounds

No sun spot trouble

Pre-dawn, moon in Earthshine bubble

But I'll not see, clouds & sleep

And, more snow, hope it ain't deep

Today On Earth

That was deep...

Cold Is Getting Old...

Again, early morning in the teens

Again, enough winter I have seen

But wait, BOMB cyclone, up the coast

Giving NYC a winter hurricane toast

Actually, don't know where it'll go..

But, we can all bet, it's gonna blow

Throw in another 3,895 dead

Yes, still on fat lyin' Punk'n Head

And, that's none in OH & FL w/ a lie

Floriduuh, claiming only 2 did die...

By now, if unvaxed, ICU should turn away

Made your "free" choice, die, I say

Sitting on fat ass, watching the fox

Let's put your dumbass in a box

Seeeeeeeya

Overpopulated idiots invading US by boat

It sank off Floriduuh, bodies don't float

Seems Natural Selection

Decided on human rejection

Sadly, the bum

Lots more to come

Klepto-Putin, ready to invade

Sounds like he needs to get laid..

Seafloor off Tonga, Haiti, too

Feeling quake energy ripple thru

Elsewhere no big quake issues

Report: ash & lava from 20 fissures

But, no real volcano surprises

Stay clear, most local surmises

As usual, mostly around the Ring

With Stromboli & Kilauea on a fling

Good news from Webb space telescope

All deployed, amazing discoveries the hope

Waning crescent bright at 5am

Coals in fire, thin by then

Now I'm on solar heat

No REC charge, pretty neat

Sun is still spotty, but not bad

Up north, aurora viewing can be had

Closing in on a month with snow

Be really nice to see it go

But, that seems not the case

Weekend, mo' flakes in our face

Bundle up

Today On Earth

What was with this light 

Bright

Through the clouds...??

And, We're Back To Cold

Add energy to any system, it gets wild

So, why the shocker that Earth ain't mild

Today, most dealing with a polar blast

Thru the week it's going to last

And, then another potential weekend mess

Standard winter scene, more or less..

Same with quakes, boundaries here & there

S. African rift & Haiti just made aware

They still live in an earthquake zone

But, do us a favor, please, don't phone..

Unvaxed, mo-ron 'merican's continue to die

2,969 on yesterday's report

Headed to hell, GOP's death resort

Maybe, turn off fox, give reality a try

When Joe called idiot reporter stupid SOB

We all knew what fox reaction would be

Shock, outrage, how could he be so rude

This after 4 years of Earth's nastiest dude

Not first time reporter was called stupid

John McCain, also sure did

Stupid question is all fox asks

Spare us all Tucky, put on 2 masks

Why whine when all you say is a lie

Fair & balanced...yea, right, nice try

Sun still spotty, blasting our way

Free heat for me, every sunny day

Jupiter still bright in SW after sunset

Up early, SE, Mars & Venus you'll get

Moon, thick crescent on the wane

Klepto Putin, still asswipe pain

Trying to start WWIII?

Sure hope that don't come to be..

Today On Earth

3+ weeks, not this bad

But, still here..

Still sucks...

Putin, Young Kin, Dictators Dreamin'

On Ukraine's border, little douche Putin

Has his army lined up for some shootin'

Cool minds trying to persuade

The runty tyrant not to invade

But, his whole economy is based on lootin'

Haiti again reeling from an earthquake

Trouble, if from sand buildings you make

Overpopulated, superstitious, corrupt

Not good when ground movement abrupt

Other quakes mostly on sea floor

With no big waves washing ashore

Here we got cloudy & cool

But, don't let warmish air fool

It's just ahead of next cold front

Gonna drop temp down like a bunt

Later in week, another storm coming

Big nor'easter'll have NE bumming

News claims latest surge is slowing

But, daily, 2,300+ still going

Into the ground..or oven

Still TDS* won't be shovin'

Fat white faces into a mask

So, in a coffin they'll soon bask

We can only hope...

Cuz with truth they still grope

🌗

Got a look at Jupiter last night

That big bad planet is still bright

But, we continue to pull away

Last quarter moon is today

Rise at midnight, sets at noon

January, seems gone so soon

After such a long, mild Fall

Then snow & ice for all

Tired of looking at snow

But, with cold, it ain't gonna go

Today On Earth

Remember back..Jan. 2nd

Young salamanders were out..

Not now...

Va's new gov, a *TrumpDickSucker, Glennn

Thinks 51% was a super monstrous win

Lets a few self-centered fools

Whine about masks in schools

Keeps family tight screwing his Young Kin

Haiti Shakes..Feb. On & Off Earth

5.1 then 5.3

Haiti the shaky place to be

But, as a World Enema Site

Just being there would be a bite

My monthly column

February 2022 - On & Off Earth

After lamenting the lack of true winter weather over the last several years in this column, I, like everyone else, received the harsh reminder that anything can and will happen on our big planet on January 3rd. Every walk over the last three plus weeks has been a new adventure in slipping, sliding and trudging; low friction and the relentless tug of gravity, suddenly an ever present, new combination of dangers. The “snow snakes” that bring skiers down, constantly lurking. 

A year ago I mentioned preferring a walk in falling snow over a cold winter rain; I now amend that statement; give me some rain. Gently falling snow is a delight, trudging through deep, fallen snow, far from delightful. With skis on my feet, all is good; hiking boots, in a foot of snow or on refrozen, glacial style snow/ice, I’ll admit, this southern guy is over it.

While the weather of February remains unknown, the extra two minutes of daylight every day of the month will happen. By month’s end, sunset is after 6pm, sunrise well before 7am and we will only be three weeks for Spring; a bit of extra time, everyday, to get out for a walk.

Irregardless of what some groundhog in PA sees on the morning of the 2nd, that evening, if skies are clear in the southwest, an ultra thin crescent moon will visit mighty Jupiter one last time before Earth revolves away from the king of planets. That leaves the evening sky free of planets until Summer. The pre-dawn sky showcases Mars and Venus as the bright “stars” for early risers.

The Winter sky does not need planets to dazzle the eye. Find the three stars in a line marking Orion’s belt high overhead toward the south after dark and use them as a guide to the colorful delights of the Winter stars. The Belt leads your eyes up to the red-orange eye of Taurus, Aldebaran; down to Earth’s brightest star, blue-white Sirius. Above the Belt is reddish Betelgeuse, below, another hot, blue-white star, Rigel. Other brilliant stars, of various hues, surround Orion, the mythical hunter. 

The Full, Snow Moon will light up the sky all night on the 16th. Ten days later, having waned back to a crescent, the moon joins Mars and Venus in the southeast before sunrise. The sun has Capricorn’s stars as a backdrop to begin February, our revolution moving our star into Aquarius on the 17th.

To say our recent snowfall forecast was a bit off, one well over, the next well under, would be an understatement (it is tricky to get perfect..). Snow on the ground also causes forecast high temperatures to be on the under side. Snow is very reflective of the sun’s radiation so the snow covered Earth doesn’t warm up nor does the air above it.

Our recent, and ongoing, experience with snow reflectivity is a useful example to explain the issues driving the ongoing warming (despite our cold snap, Earth is still warming) at Earth’s poles. Rapidly shrinking Arctic sea ice isn’t reflecting the 24/7 summer sunlight. Instead, open ocean water is absorbing the energy, as is melt water on Greenland, warming both the ocean and air.

Although somewhat stunted by the, still all the rage, pandemic, human activities are back in almost full swing pushing CO2 levels, after a 2020 lull, ever higher. A planetary system with more energy to use promises to be wild and prone to sudden shifts and changes. Be weather wise and virus aware but I hope you are able to get out to see what daily changes Earth has in store for all of us... Today On Earth..

And, The Kick Is Good...

Ya just never know

How a game's gonna go

A week off & home field

Yet a win it did not yield

A blocked punt, an interception

AR; well deserved after viral deception

And, Nashville cats, inconsistency

Games today, what will we see..

?🏈?

Cold again, but temp is rising

But, still more winter I'm surmising

Another cold week ahead

Sadly, w/ another 15K 'mericas dead

Just won't get a vaccine

Then likely last time you'll be seen

With ventilator in your mouth

Dyin' north, west, east..south

Carolina's under weather attack

Snow & ice, Earth is back...

🌇

Tonga sunset is the new term

While on the island, life not firm

All the dust/ash blown in the air

Creating purple sunsets everywhere

China, Vanuatu & Philippine

Dealing with minor quake scene

Nevada & San Andreas, too

But, shakes there are not new

Sun still spotty, Moon wanes on

I'm still smiling, unvaxed Aaron, gone

Today On Earth

Frozen ground crystals..

Cool..

2 outta 3 ain't bad..RIP Meatloaf

I want you, I need you..

But, ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

Don't feel sad

2 outta 3 ain't bad..

He may be gone..:(

But, the music will live on!!

And...How do I not have Bat Out of Hell??

Maybe it's on vinyl, deep in storage.

Like 3,866 other (at least) 'mericans

Yesterday

The legend known as Meatloaf

Passed away

What is showing few signs of slowing

Death by TrumpVirus just ain't going

Whining bitches won't get a shot

Think mask on their fat face is too hot

Whimper on about their rights

Ok putting democracy in their sights

But, only freedom if you believe

Stupid falsebook crap "they" receive

Reality: TrumpVirus continues to evolve

And, it's the problem we won't resolve

Have what we need, all the tools

Just way too many TDS* fools

Hope I don't seeeeeeya

And, damn sure, wouldn't wanna be ya

⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰

Line 'em up, put 'em in the ground

(Nice having fewer TDS around:)

Around here that's hard to do

Cuz it's frozen thru & thru

Well, not to permafrost yet

And, on warming world, a safe bet

That soon it will turn to mud

But, not today, fall, you go thuddd

14 the low here

But, sun bright with sky clear

Tirehouse; inside toasty warm

Outside, major bird & squirrel swarm

They are rolling thru the seed

Fuelin' up, meet most basic need

Pacific rim shaky again

6+ in Aleutians, Philippines & Japan

Aftershocks are all the rave

But, seems to be no coming wave

Sun still spotty but no big blasts

Evening planets, Jupiter the last

Others, behind sun or morning sky

So, checking that out, I don't try..

Moon, waning, near last quarter

Winter sky stars, quite the color sorter

Bundle up & check it out

In public, a mask, have no doubt

And, to my sis, a Happy Birthday

🎂

Bonus: a year retired, so a big YAH!!

And, to all...later tonight

Hope ya find paradise by the dashboard light

Today On Earth

Hawai'i is looking pretty good..

*TDS - TrumpDickSucker

If ya are, ya quite the sad f.....

Cold, Cold, Cold...Gettin' Old

What happened to warm fall days

And, dreams of golf

Way the weather seems to play

Can't get long underwear off

❄  🏌 ❄

Soft & slushy snow has turned to ice

Remaining upright requires balance device

Today will be first in 4 years

That freezing point we won't clear

At least, the latest storm

Become the dreaded southern norm

Ice

Never nice

6.6 quake just off southern Japan

Least that country has quake plan

Already changed to 6.3

Seems no tsunami, they will see

Burma, Guam, Alaska & Mexico

Wanna shake, Pacific Ring, place to go

Sun blasting but Earth, gonna miss

Still far north with aurora kiss

TrumpVirus deaths, over 2K/day

More fat & unvaxed going away

Seeeeeeya

No vote for you

Douche bag GOP

Think parents should have final say

Except on making fetus go away

Definition of freedom leaves me confused

Only free if their rules are used

Glenny thinks 51% was monster win

Now wants to screw everyone's young kin

It really sucks, this minority rule

Hope soon, Mitch on ventilator w/ drool

donnie, he's about due for a stroke

That liars golf game is such a joke

NY about to take donnie down

Orange face to match orange gown

Maybe a short walk, outside

Then back in to hide from cold..

Nasty cold

Today On Earth

Who loves his bear...

Tonga Blast Heard In Alaska!!

Reading details of the Tonga volcano

Craziness that I did not know

9 hours after the blast..

That's..9..nine..the sound did last

A sonic boom was heard in Alaska

Alaska!!!!

Tsunamis all around Pacific ring

Some doing that killing thing

In Peru and in Japan

Boat smashed in harbors, New Zealand

NINE HOURS!!!

Here we got typical Va. winter rain

But, it's still 37, so I won't complain

Will it change over to snow

Looks like it's all about to go..

And, then comes the polar blast

Seems most of month it's gonna last

At least weekend snow forecast

Keeps it south, a break, at last

Well, there is the single digit cold

Without skiing, winter gets old...

Speaking of old before their time

Unvaxed, TDS* mo-ron slime

3,376 dead, report from yesterday

Fat & stupid & going away

Seems..if you believe fat Punk'n Head

Good chance you'll wind up dead!!

Same dumbasses that won't wear a mask

(And, most would look better..)

Won't get simple vaccine, tough task!

Think they got a right to get us sick

Really, like donnie, just being a dick

Internet can be a good thing

'Cept some fools believe anything

Earth, at last check, did not care

Billion years will still be here

Will humans make next century??

Be big changes by 2030...

Another sunspot getting wild

With direction, Earth affect mild??

Moon is waning, Jupiter in evening sky

But, no sighting, clouds rolling by

Quakes around, none too big

Plate boundaries, usual gig

Barely spitting rain, time to walk

Stop this rant & check facebalk:)

NOT

Today On Earth

Big Brown Dog at sunset

*TDS

TrumpDickSucker

Still screwing the world...

A Little Southern Air..

Southern breezes are headed our way

But, that's it, then cold comes to stay

And, looking like more snow, too

Of the white stuff, I am through

The refreeze, the crust, just nasty

Muddy or dry, bare ground I wanna see

If it don't melt today

Not sure when it'll go away

At least my new computer is now new

Library, update, pretty quick, whew

Birds are chowing on the seed

Trying to give 'em what they need

We've ruined much of their habitat

Least I can do, serve a little beef fat

Big dog roaming into the scene

Least I got him looking little lean

He's having some bird seed now

Dog's digestive track, wow

Around the Pacific/Antarctic ridge

Lava seems to be moving a smidge

Indonesia, Philippines, 5+ shakes, too

Tonga reeling from volcano that just blew

Tsunami & ash, help can't get there

Live on arc island, be volcano aware

But, really, not much they could do

Once that big bad baby blew...

Out is space, big rock fly by

Mile long asteroid waves bye bye

Missed by a million miles, seems a lot

Only 1 day off of Earth taking a shot

Timing always the key

If you want to continue to be

Like the 2,000/day, didn't get a shot

Now they are dead, unvaxed ain't so hot

I'm sure GOP is taking note

Figuring way for dead TDS* to vote

One thing certain, minority rule

Is playing 'merica for the fool

Dictators worldwide on a spree

With rampant stupidity in "land of the free"

In DeeCee, Mitch the walking foreskin

In Va, gov banging his young kin..

Last prez, latin name: Fibicus maximus

Just a lying whiny mo-ron puss

In real world, on nearby star

Its influence reaches far

Bathing my house in light & heat

Expects no charge, pretty neat

Still dominion & exxon want money

How to charge us when sky is sunny

Hope that sun works on the melt

Before next snow mess is dealt

Reality can be a bitch

Today On Earth

Pix are back after update

Big dog at sunset

As it always has

*TDS

TrumpDickSucker

On their knees

Anything..

Lying donnie to please

ReFreeze, Snow & Governor..

The slushy mess has frozen solid

New gov, quickly w/ safety lid

Seems slavery was good, masks bad

As donnie's clone, worst we've had..

In GOP fashion, edicts from on high

Minority rule, time passes us by

But, already schools, screw you Glenn

Don't try & screw all your young kin

If ya wave your guns, don't need truth

The mess in 'Merica, there's your proof

High pressure don't care, we got the cold

White frozen world is waaay past old

Two more storms later this week

Human waste turned Earth into a freak

Trap the heat, wilder is what ya get

Will get worse 'fore better, take that bet

Mongolia, Turkey, Fiji & PNG

All with quakes at 5, shaking free

Full moon last night bright but small

Still brought coastal flooding for all

Moon near apogee, farther away

Otherwise, coastlines really would pay

Sun still bathing us in solar wind

Giving Earth's atmosphere a little bend

At least sun is out, house is warm

Birds back, run off squirrel swarm

Dog out for a girlfriend visit

Hope he's careful on this slippery shit

Today On Earth

 

Pressure Drop...Whoa!!

Let's just start off with

GOOGLE SUCKS

VERIZON SUCKS

And, right now the atmosphere

SUCKS

Pressure is hurricane low

Low 29's..29.13 lowest I saw

Update failed, cuz google sucks

Sun did a quick melt job earlier but clouds are back. At least, it is still above freezing.

Now suckass Verizon service won't even load earthquakes page..and there where a bunch, well into the 5's and on land. Oh, it's back..Mongolia, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Mexico..shaky times.

Another eruption from Tonga's new neighborhood volcano..sent water and atmospheric shock waves around the world. EARTH IN CHARGE..and cares not about puny humans.

Enough of this.

No TrumpVirus update.

Sun still spotty.

MLK DAY...and it is waaaay too white outside and snow sucks if you can't ski on it..

Time to venture out..if this will actually update and load..

Today On Earth!

Google & Verizon, what a pathetic combo to have to rely on..

Izzy Gettin' Busy, Tonga Blast

Need a reminder Earth's in charge

Into my world it's about to barge

Yesterday it was in tropical paradise

Where on Tonga, quickly, not so nice

Winter storm Izzy is trashing the South

We'll soon be in that storm's snowy mouth

Forecast from snow to ice to rain

Va. piedmont will feel planet's pain

But, at least no tsunami headed our way

And, no ash fall coming down here today

Not so, in Tonga, it seems

Where Earth just came apart at the seams

🌋

Under sea eruption, cloud seen from space

In the Pacific, water surge all over the place

Power already out all across dixieland

Poles & transformers again in demand

Not sure how bad it'll be here

But, by Monday, it'll be clear

Right now it's just cold, nasty out

With hungry birds flying all about

Big dog snoring, after a roam

Not long, too cold, headed back home

Other than Tonga, plenty of shakes

Greece, Taiwan, Scotia plate, PNG

Shifting & sliding along boundaries

❄❅❆

Here, it's snow, flakes starting to fly

Tough right now, surface very dry

High from north, laying in the wedge

Moisture overruns, we get the sledge

🌞

Roiling sun still blasting away

Way north more aurora colors at play

Sooooo

Blizzard, Eruption, TrumpVirus surge

Lot of humans hearing the dirge

Be careful out their, Earth she don't play

Care you should take

On Earth Today

Cold Is Here, The Wet Coming..

Cold Front is thru, cold air is here

Low headed south for Gulf slurp it's clear

Then Wild Card weekend gets wilder still

Snow, then sleet, then rain, then big chill

Long range, more snow next weekend??

'22 Winter not going to pretend

That added heat cranks up an atmosphere

That we can't predict, what then, is clear

Master of hindsight that I am

We'll know Tuesday about this slam

❄❅❆❆❅❄

Today's quake winners:

Indonesia, Afghanistan & PNG

Other reminders along local boundary

TrumpVirus death count remains high

As almost 3K more 'mericans wave bye

Most all dying are unvaccinated

On their own research, shouldn't a'waited

Falsebook, Instascam & the liars on fox

Now another TDS* resides in a box

⚰

Out in space, sun still blastin' away

Big solar wind puts auroras at play

Bundle up, get out into the night

Easy, with big ole moon so bright

Caught a peek at Mercury

But, Saturn I could not see

Jupiter still up well in SW

Later, winter stars are the best

Here at tire house, all is good

Skid loader running, moved some wood

Ready for next wave

In 2022 Winter Rave

Hope you are, too

Today On Earth
