March Roar Out!!

Like the proverbial lion of lore

March winds gonna slam the door

Constant low howl, trees all a'sway

Likely, somewhere tornadoes will play

Yesterday deep south, today it's east

Feeling brunt of Earth's latest beast

Dragon-like warm front twisted up coast

Trailing cold front will give us the toast

Likely rain but mostly it's the wind

Anything loose, flying, it's gonna send

Also, maybe..flying tsunami waves

SW Pacific seafloor w/ several raves

First, at 6.9, later at 7.0

Tsunami site down, don't really know

20+ volcanoes on the week's list

Taal in Philippines seems most pissed

Undersea, off Japan, water on roil

Look out, Krakatoa's ready to boil

In the Atlantic, the Azores' hot spot

Shaking & stretching, ready to get hot

Aleutians, Indonesia both with a few

Galapagos's Wolf, lava still on: spew

New Zealand's Raupehu getting all hot

And, under Hawai'i, still oozing hot spot

Nearby star still blasting away

Monster sunspots send radiation our way

Knocked our short wave radios

In US north, lots of aurora shows

TrumpVirus update, another 1,200+ gone

Here in 'merica, ignore it & move on

Out in 'merica yesterday

Driving stupidity on full display

Warnings for miles, merge two into one

But, we can't do it, can't get it done

Dickbag truckers, always in the way

Create crashes & congestion every day

Pushed up to barricades blocking the lane

How we got traitor prez, easy to explain

That traitor still beggin' little buddy Vlady

For dirt on Joe, but Joe's a good daddy

And, donnie, most definitely is not

Whole chump family in jail would be hot

It's coming, ya gotta have hope

Then where will donnie jr get his dope

Trying to send photos, but always a wait

?Sucky verizon or apple update?

Want to go w/ dog for a walk

Wild wind, making me balk

Be careful, it's crazy out there

And, as always, planet don't care..

Today On Earth

Kinda says it all

Clouds Winning The Battle

Right now, a short peek at the sun

But, in the sky, clouds have the run

Warm, we are definitely not there yet

Still.. hope for change is an easy bet

Another 750+ mo' 'mericans bet their life

😷(no mask, no vax, no clue 😷

steer clear's what I'm gonna do)

Now family dealing with funeral strife

Over in Ukraine, 1,000's of russkies dead

All on short KGB guy w/ big round head

Ukrainians kicking butt & flippin' off

Little Vlady, "maybe truce" cough, cough

How about, get out, be gone, seeeya

Oh yea, & give us back stolen Crimea

In US south, tornadoes all the rage

Trashing semi's, trailers & wind gauge

Here it's just those clouds & a chill

For tomorrow, in the storms will spill

Speaking of things spilling our way

Big solar blast is about to play

With our waaaay upper atmosphere

Could we see auroras way down here?

Course, if they happen, there will be clouds

Any cool viewing, we get droplet shrouds

Sure ain't no moon in our view

Just one day away from New

Quakes; Earth's got 'em, just always

W. Texass w/ 8 from fracking plays

SW Pacific w/ subduction still

As downward more seafloor does spill

But, biggest quakes, just mid-mag. 5

I think all will survive

🌞

Can I get a big woooohooo

The sun just did a peak through

Over in the land where virus's are born

Where they grind seahorses & rhino horn

Where a billion & half ain't enough

Poor Ghina, another outbreak.. is rough

Another dick-tator w/ big fat head

Really don't care if millions dead

Lockdowns there seem all the rage

Here, TDS* won't let us turn that page

But, lockdowns, shots, even a mask

That's just waaaay too much to ask

"got my rights, gonna shoot my gun"

"got no girl, what I do for fun"

Cuz right here, 3 houses away

Every day, it's war that TDS* play

Yea, you got a right to your gun

But, disturb us all, don't think so, son

Asked of one NC republican smarty

Hey, dude, wanna come to our sex party

But, he talked, let it out of the bag

Poor GOP hypocrites, what a drag

Poser christians 'splains to wife on phone

How in DC, he's out sharing his bone

But, we knew, all the while

GOP stands for Gang O Pedophiles

Stay safe & hope for warm..

Well, w/o the tornado swarm

Today On Earth

Remember..when sunsets

were early & snowy

Glad that's gone..

*TDS means you're TrumpDickSucker

Too bad, you been had..

Last Of The Cold...??

A long nasty winter will not go away

Seems to be how "new" Earth gonna play

We add CO2, mo' heat gets trapped

Like stove on high, atmosphere's zapped

Bigger storms, bigger swings

Snow swirls as a tornado sings

We clever humans refuse to adjust

So it's snowing, go fast, my truck must

I-81 is a nightmare if it's nice

Throw in low vis & snow & ice

So.. huge pile up on 81 in PA

60+ vehicles, at least 3 gone away

Would bet big bucks

Caused by speeding trucks

Just cuz you drive, don't make ya a pro

Most likely, no other skill ya know

Chevy & teamsters put rails under attack

Seems stuck w/ trucks, hard to go back

Actually, most 'merican drivers: poor

Phone or food or talk, road they ignore

My only goal out on the highway

Stay the hell out of other's way

Get where I'm going, try & set cruise

But, most no cruise or mirrors they use

So, I'm ok mostly staying in

Elsewhere, little Vlady w/ no win

Ukrainians pushing weak-ass Ruskies back

Like that Joe called for Vlady to get the sack

Ohhhh..it's all you hear on the news

But, we all share the same views

Somebody needs to kill KGB pussy ass bitch

Radiation: make his sorry ass twitch

Texass frackers are the epicenter today

W/ Caribbean plate also set to sway

Tonga plate junction, it too, w/ shift

Wegener got it right, continents drift

Weather wise, it is still cold here

Down south, tornadoes they fear

Out west, they still got snow

And, no trees down, far as I know

🌞

Sun with big spots, still exploding

Earth's atmosphere, solar wind is goading

Keep eyes out not long after dark

Southern auroras this blast could spark

Word processor - GOOGLE SUCKS

I mean, really sucks, pain in the ass

Up early, you just might see thin moon

With planets, but New coming soon

Chile & Argentina: partial solar eclipse

2 mo' weeks, into our shadow moon slips

Cali judge: donnie guilty of treason

We all knew that, not hard to reason

Dream: him in cell w/ little buddy Vlad

Bucket of fish heads, good times had

Not by them, but no one cares

Only way out, hell's stairs

It's all I got...

Today On Earth

Big tree

W/ big dog showing what he thinks

Of google & verizon

If A Tree Falls, Yea..Big Sound

 Working on my monthly column

Huge, dead oak came crashing down

Big sound...whoa

Here's the column

April 2022 - On & Off Earth

April is the annual host to the explosive, visible return of life to our northern end of Earth. It may start slowly with a splash of yellow here and there but our state flower and tree is about to change all that. Even as a late March chill fades, Dogwood blossoms are about to burst, filling forest and yards with their Spring display; and, yes, it is both our state flower and state tree and I think worthy of both.

As jonquils and forsythia, and soon dogwoods catch our eye’s low gaze, hiding far above our heads, also ready to burst, baby leaves, growing rapidly in April’s extra hour of daylight, will soon bathe our world in a lush green. Tiny, mallow poplar leaves lead the way along with maple leaves, red in youth but by April’s end the oak, gum and hickory will have joined in and the long views of winter will be gone, winter brown replaced by spring green.

As I was finishing up this month’s column I ran into a detour. A sudden confirmation of one of our universe’s basic forces and a quirky human question answered. Gravity is not just a good idea, it is the law and if a tree falls in the forest, it definitely does make a sound.

A huge oak tree, dead for years in my wooded front yard, pocked with holes drilled by woodpeckers, just crashed to the ground. I see new debris on trails every day, the remains from the January 3rd storm still hung up throughout the woods but to see and hear a huge tree crash down; impressive..and a little scary!

April sees the Big Dipper, the long tail and hindquarters of Ursa Major, the Great Bear, emerge from hibernation and rise, upside down for a dipper, high into the northeast sky after dark. The upper end’s pointer stars direct your eyes down to the Polaris, Earth’s current North Star.

Want to see Earth’s rotation in action? Check out the Big Dipper at 9pm and again at 10pm; the Dipper will have rotated about 12 degrees but the Pointers will still lead your eyes to Polaris, always parked due north, 38 degrees (our latitude) above the northern horizon.

The Full “Pink” moon is on the 16th. The sun, in Pisces since March 13th, moves into Aries on the April 20th. 45 minutes before sunrise(@ 6:31am) on the 18th, Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn will be equally spaced in a line in the east-southeast; I might even get up early to check that out.

Got plans this weekend to visit our nation’s capital to see the cherry blossoms? You’ll want to wait until afternoon; Friday’s new moon will create high Spring (not the season) tides that will flood tidal basin walkways in the mornings; the semi-monthly brackish water incursion has already killed several cherry trees and forced pedestrian detours to be added.

With sea level rise in mind.. the 52nd celebration of Earth Day is Friday the 22nd. Since Apollo 8’s Earth Rise photo sparked concerns 52 years ago, world population has doubled, atmospheric CO2 levels (and temperatures) have risen steadily, deserts have grown, forests have shrunk and ancient ice caps continue to melt. Wars continue as does a worldwide pandemic and as Texans hoped rain storms would extinguish raging wild fires instead got tornadoes.

The issues are many on this planet we all share, many, too, will be the solutions. We can be proactive and work toward solutions, or we can wait and be reactive, shocked when another catastrophe comes our way. Our planet, our home, our choices.

Next month: more on using the Big Dipper to tour the Spring night sky and a lunar eclipse.

Holladay-Today On Earth

Big tree

Any Sign Of The big 10...

An easy problem to see..right away

Called big 10, but 14 schools at play

But, counting not really biggest concern

Let 9 teams in tourney, all w/ a big burn

But, w/ 6 teams left, what do we see

Half of those are from the ACC

NCAA must think big 10 is the best

Always most in...yet, fewest pass the test

Before other problems mount

Perhaps big 10 should learn to count..

1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 3, 7, 14, 10 - big 10

🏫🏫🏫

Here..yesterday, we counted 3 fronts thru

Each pushed by a colder brew

Seems March's end ruled by a big cat

Not lion, snow leopard's where we're at

But, Spring only sprung by a week

And, Earth, w/ extra heat, kinda freak

Warmth will be back, but not for a few

South should gear up for tornado or two

🌪🌪

Like what I heard from real Prez Joe

That little psycho Vlady gotta go

Problem, easier said than done

Perhaps..an oligarch w/ a gun

One thing certain, ain't gone win in Ukraine

So, just being a monstrous pain

Vlady went to donnie's planning school

Boast & brag, then lie, deny..& drool

😲

Combine google & verizon, whatcha get

Service that sucks.. ain't worth a shit..

👎

5.1 quake off Oregon, a reminder

Subducted plate, not a good binder

5.1 will not create a wave

Bigger quake overdue, Earth won't behave

Solar cycle continues to build

Onto Earth solar wind soon spilled

Northern states, an aurora show?

How far south will they go?

🌘

Waning crescent due a planet flyby

Mostly due East in pre-dawn sky

Can't believe gotta get long underwear out

And, clouds putting solar warming in doubt

Nasty winter just won't let go

Hope we don't jump right to summer show

Not sure I can post this blog

google, verizon combo = pathetic dog

⚰⚰⚰

Few in masks, hundreds still dying

Accurate count, nobody trying

So many unvaxed, ain't going away

But, fewer TDS*, with that I'm ok

Today On Earth

Service Berry

Will it survive the chill?

*TDS-TrumpDickSucker

Back In The Chill

As battles rage on..sadly..worldwide

Deep into USA, cold air gonna collide

With you, soon as you step outside

If you venture out, no where to hide

Frosty mornings for couple of days

Our planet, always in a change phase

W. Ghina w/ semi-big (5.0) shakes today

Others, just mo' Pacific seafloor stuffed away

(Well, W. Texass, mo' oil fracking

So...mo' Earth shaking & cracking)

Nearby star, spotty, big blast headed our way

Our magnetosphere, mostly blocks that play

Hopefully, just zaps polar upper atmosphere

Auroras will continue if skies are clear

Missed Ukraine news, sure mo' war crimes

Another 861 'mericans, really tough times

No shot, no mask, no life, ya gone

Has slowed but donnie's plague rolls on

Ya know he don't care, out cheatin' at golf

Or on his wife, paying some ho' off

Wonder if Tucky Carlson off to Moscow

Done w/ donnie, on knees for Vlady now

Fair & Balanced, lyin' fox claim

False & Bogus, heavy on the blame

Like Poser Christians, big on hate & guilt

Stab ya in da back, right up to the hilt

Locally, less than 50% w/ the vax

So, out amongst, I'm in a mask

If I can stay safe & piss them off

A mask, I will not doff:)

Late night of poker, major sleep in

Bird feeders, on seed looking thin

Time to track down romping dog

Head on our deep woods slog

Turkeys been about of late

Big ole Tom, his beard, looking great

Brown dog just back, barking wildly

Checked, but no pigs do I see

That's good...

Today On Earth

What a handsome dog!!!

King of the forest!!

Shout out to WNRN, Spring Fund Drive

We listen, send money, it's how they survive

EdMond claiming it's a lovely day

But, he's inside, chattin' away

Poser Christians..

Worked up this after great ad last night

Reminding Christians..what is right..

Poser christians hate & judge

Steal & kill, hold a grudge

Poser christians, all about hate

Yet, Jesus thought all were great

You think Jesus would exclude

Just cuz he is a black, gay dude

Christian; supposed to mean love

These days seems to mean shove

Shove ‘em out if not white & straight

Seems poser christians all about hate

Wanna shove Jesus is our face

Declare ‘merica an all white place

Want full rights for a tiny fetus

But….

Protest racism, they wanna beat us

Poser Christian Right, is all wrong

Real Americans say, so long

To donnie & his minority rule

Maybe try Moscow, be Vlady’s tool

What would Jesus say..

Ahhhhh

No one knows...

So, maybe.. 

Keep your personal beliefs

Personal..

Every Day On Earth

Into Year 3..W/ Similar Stupidity

In Trump Virus reality news

Same old thing, different views

2 year ago today, 200+ Americans died

1 year later, 1000+ w/ vax barely tried

Yesterday's count was 982

Fat & unvaxed, lives are through

Amazingly, most states w/ report

Even those where denial is a sport

Poor little Vlady, trouble in Ukraine

Resistance is being quite the pain

Yesterday, they sunk his battleship

Re-supplies now taking a dip

Unfed troops getting big push back

Still psycho keeps up aerial attack

NATO staying on the same page

Resistance to the dictator's rage

Big ole storm finally off the coast

Dodged the twisters, just rain toast

Now it's frosty cold head our way

Big, wild swings Earth's new play

Sun still spotty as new cycle grows

Earth gets solar bath as CME blows

3/4 moon will set about noon today

Early risers still w/ planet display

Least sun is back & big dog's home

'Bout time for a late morn roam

Holly & Jaime on an Italian tour

Drinking wine, that's for sure

Got their text while in the wood

With a beer, life is good

Hope you are still safe & smart

Avoid TDS*, good place to start..

Today On Earth

Cool East, Hot West, Senate: Stupidity At Its Best

Last night rain fell hard & fast

By midnight, had mostly passed

But, lightning flashed, thunder boomed

And, while threat of a tornado loomed

None spun up around here

Other damage, not yet clear

4.5" for month, 1 1/3" yesterday

Groundwater, trees are pumping away

Up in DeeCee, more GOP stupidity

Usual, Ted, Josh & drawlin' Lindsey

On & on they drone about kiddy porn

But, sentence guidelines were congress born

My guess, it's the evidence they want to see

View kiddy porn pix the dream of all three

Would ya let any of 'em babysit for you??

Full on slime, the whole hypocrite crew

Big shakes rocking on Hispaniola, two

Haiti, 5.1, Dominican Republic at 4.2

W. Pacific Ring shifting around

W. Texass quakes, blowing up ground

🌋🌋🌋

Blowing up mountains, Earth got them, too

Almost 2 dozen if ya wanna go & view

Usual, Indonesia, Kamchatka & Japan

In Congo, for lava flows they should plan

Aleutians, Costa Rica, Ecuador, you bet

Wolf Is. on Galapagos, still lava wet

New Zealand, one calm, another heating

Go to Hawai'i, see Earth's heart beating

On our nearby star, big ole spot

Spinning into view, blasting hot

Earth could see blasts headed our way

Will it take any satellites out of play?

Fry the grid or just color the sky

Or will they miss, slide on by..

⚰⚰⚰

In USA, another 1,355 wave bye-bye

Still millions, vax or mask, they won't try

But, if so stupid you'd suck donnie's dick

Bought his con, we won't miss ya, slick

Donnie's buddy, little Vlady, so sick

Can't take over Ukraine, just being a prick

Dropping bombs, killing women & kids

Joe in Brussels to increase sanction lids

Vlady don't care, hidden away

Unconcerned if own citizens have to pay

Here idiot truckers still on protest tour

Sanctions gone, not sure what it's for??

One thing we know..if humans long gone

Slime mold will keep movin' on

Don't let it get ya..

Today On Earth

Introducing a new puppy

Mojo..adorable!!

Google sucks so bad as a word processor

Just sucks

Wet, Shaky Wednesday

In senate, 2 douches lash out at K. J. Brown

Again, proof, Cruz & Holley, idiots, clown

Seems main focus of GOP

Remains child pornograpy

But, we knew all the while

GOP: Gang of Pedophiles

Josh Holley chats w/ Matty Gaetz

'Bout favorite ways to masterbate

Who'd buy a used car from either one

If either's talking, "you're lyin', son"

Think back to GOP's adds to the court

One a rapist, screaming beer's a sport

Other crawling on her knees

Doing anything, only jesus to please

Pretty sad here in the former USA

Cuz, united we are far from today

And, another 1,000+ are gone away

Unvaxed mo-rons, now they pay

⚰⚰⚰

In Ukraine, russkies stealing kids

To help economy, soon taking bids

In Ghina & Russia, big business there

Sluts having kids, w/o a care

On world of 8 billion, it ain't funny

But, anything goes..if you making money

💰🤑💰

Rain has started, more to come

NOLA reeling from tornado.. bum

More likely spinning up today

?In Carolina's, trailers will pay?

At mag. 6.7, two big quakes

Tsunami site, no updates it makes

Cuz, here, verizon really sucks

Tsunami warning, having no luck

One off Taiwan, other mid-Atlantic ridge

One subduction, other lava movin' a smidge

Side of the sun that is facing away

Monstrous blast but not coming our way

Gibbous moon shrinking but still bright

W/ no leaves, thru woods easy sight

🐦🐦🐦

Freaking birds, 2 feeders already empty

So far, only light rain I see

Maybe should go track down a dog

Know what that means, end O blog

Today On Earth

Hard to see..

The remains of the tree

At one end, pit & mound

Trunk, dark line on the ground

One of several blown down in storm

Climbing into it my daily norm

Back when Hershey was a pup

Me in tree, her looking up

20 years ago...

Whoa!!

Fight on Ukraine

Please, someone kill little Vlady

End the world's pain..

Earth Rages On!!

On one side of the state, fires burn

Just to east, tornadoes rapidly turn

Way out west, blowing up Earth: oil

Only in Texass, w/ reality they toil

Those storms will visit dixie today

Likely more trailers blown away

Tomorrow system will skirt by here

Today on Earth, we're in the clear

Also, looking to do harm

In my yard, a tree rat swarm

Nice to know, things get rough

Got squirrel to eat, even if tough:)

Things are tough for 1,800+

Dead by TrumpVirus, no vax, no fuss

On truckers clog in protest, not sure why

TDS* always ready to blame & deny

In Russky, little Vlady deep in hiding

In Ukraine, psycho into genociding

Biggest quake today, barely 5.0

So..around the Ring..safe to go

Speaking of going, I've got to

Oil change, but my dog he flew

That will add a little time

Maybe later, another rhyme..

Today On Earth

Spring..

*TDS -TrumpDickSucker

Oh yea, verizon sucks..

Spring; Better Cool Than Hot!?!?

Northern High is in charge

So, temps are not looming large

Better a cool start than straight to summer

So, still few weeks from a first hummer

High will move east, as they do

So, warmer air will be coming thru

That means big storms in the southlands

So, few trailer parks will no longer stand?

I need to end this so-so trend

How 'bout w/ news on rocks a'bend

Big Island, Philippines & Norway

All with good shakes today

Norway one was waay offshore

Gotta watch Earth, no where should ignore

Who knew we had big quake coming

Least someone wise kept insurance humming

Auroras, up north continue to roll

Here, big dog not our on patrol

He knows something ain't right

That I soon will be outta sight

That's it for now..

Today On Earth

Not all of Texass is aflame

Someone

Some where

Playing the spinach game

And assorted lettuce

Nice!!

SPRING: Cooler Here, Texass Still Smokin'

The Vernal Equinox is but an hour away

But, boreal air has come back to play

Most of the US is now in the cool

Nothing but change is the rule

Storms brewing tomorrow 'cross da south

Texass still dealing with a dragon's mouth

In the land of denial, oil & fracking

Big ole wild fires still be cracking

🔥🔥🔥

A million miles out into space

New Webb scope checking out the place

First photos just coming back

Seems all systems are right on track

What new wonders will it see

All will win w/ new discoveries

Well..a few science deniers will whine

Maybe.. should leave their phones behind

🧯🧯🧯

Only big quake today

6.3, Tonga's seafloor a'sway

Otherwise, minor action on edge of plates

While in Ukraine, Vlady's evil waits

Kinda like his troops for food & gas

Ukraine flipping him off & kicking ass

Little Vlady can destroy, not occupy

Maybe time to just wave bye-bye

👊👃👊

Not sure what's up in DeeCee

'Cept on all, TDS* looking to pee

Rant & rave, deny & blame

No ideas or plans..always the same

Yet, on we burn, pumping CO2

Earth don't care, humans getting the screw

On the planet warms & no surprise

Ice all melting, oceans on the rise

🌊🌊🌊

TrumpVirus dead..'nother 1,000 today

No reports, just steady that way

Mandates gone, cautions none

Kinda like another 100 death by gun

Or overdose or death from smoking

And, the Earth we keep on poking

Still women keep losing rights

And, privileges still only for whites

🔫⚰💉

Poor 1st world, problems won't go away

And, in 3rd world, breed on everyday

Earth was crowded at 4 billion

Now it's 8, headed to a zillion

Sadly, sometime soon, it will all stop

To all populations, Earth has a top

We could avoid it, the big crash

Not long as it's 'bout oil, war & cash

🌍🌎🌏

Today On Earth

Big Toothed Aspen

Getting busy..
