Earth Gets Cookin' - You Will Pray!!

Draped in dark age robes, a decree

More praying we're required to see

And, if you don't agree

You'll be attacked by coach/bully

Didn't mention pray to what or who

Or when or where but ok if in view

Would bet allah, buddha or devil not ok

But to imaginary friend jesus, pray away

How about if I pray donnie gets struck

By lightning while giving Vlady a suck

But, only ok to pray at a football game?

Or to cover lies & who's to blame

All the while, planet continues to cook

Ocean temps high everywhere ya look

And, we are barely into summer

Bettin' prayer ain't gonna help that bummer

allah sure ain't helping Indonesian coast

20 years ago land, now it's a ghost

Still those mo-rons breed & breed

But, got no where to plant a seed

Seems rice don't work in water w/ salt

Yet, stop the the breeding; will not halt

Will they pray Krakatoa don't blow?

When it does, where they gonna go?

Aleutians, Kamchatka & Japan

All need volcano evacuation plan

Weekly list seems to be missing a few

Of regular exploding mountain crew

Quakes, no big issues but again

S. Carolina w/ US shake win

Lindsay'll be begging for aid

Won't share but GOP wanna get paid

In really loooong TV audio gaps

Foxer actually shut their lying yaps

Poor fox, just didn't know what to say

When true testimony came their way

Heard: fat liar w/ huge orange head

Wanted guns to shoot Pence dead

Idiot whiner ranted & threw his plate

Yea right..he made 'merica great

Heat is back for 4th of July

Hoping democracy don't go byebye

Better pray ya got your gun

Cuz you can't get no abortion

But, pray & pray, have your fun

Sure no evidence it gets anything done

Can pray Global Warming ain't real

Or that there really was a "steal"

NOT!!

Or pray CO2 will magically go away

Or that we all ain't gonna pay

But, better pray ya got power for the AC

Cuz big hot slap coming from reality

Today On Earth

Blue tailed skink

Popped out for a visit

Adapting..Migrating

Lock 'Em All Up..

Markie's aid, w/ far bigger balls than he

Testified yesterday about just how crazy

And, evil donnie's douches were..or are

For fiction, it would be just too bizarre

Add scotus, precedents from 14th century

Realize how infected w/ TrumpVirus we be

Still 400+/day dying

Deal w/ that, ain't even trying

Screwed, blued w/ dumbasses tattooed

🔩

While we bask in the cool & dry

Around the world, billions fry

Hurricane season's about to hit go

Least nothing big w/ earthquake show

Sun's still spotty but not too wild

'Ho's & sperm donors, another child

👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶

Population issue still the big deal

Warming will just make it all real

Throw in billions of guns

Future: gonna be too much fun

👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶

Few born today will see fifty

Nice job boomers, we're so nifty

👵👴

As onward poser christians pray

Like we care what they got to say

Hateful, judgmental..time will tell

Ironically, if right, they're off to hell!

Sure be fun to hear what Jesus'd say

About his hateful followers in the USA

BUT

Nobody knows, no one can see

Where we are going, where will we be

One thing is certain, it's life's great mystery

But, I know you don't know

SO.. DON'T TELL ME!!

Not

Today On Earth!!

Dogs get it..

Eat, romp, nap!!

Why isn't donnie in jail??

No Abortions, Easy Guns.. Pathetic!!

The TrumpVirus continues to spread

So too, Americans that will be dead

Poser christians all for fetus rights

And, happy to put you in their sights

But, support a mom or unwanted kid

No Way, all part of the evil donnie did

Even contraception hard to find

As we move deeper into population bind

Worldwide heat records continue to fall

As we ignore problems that threaten us all

Sitting here in relative 1st world ease

Mostly doing as we all please

But, many states quickly back 50 years

Millions of women, rage, fear & tears

As smug rapist Brett swill his beers

& asswipe Sammy reads dark age peers

GOP looking to rig all elections

Remove all women's rights protections

All back to little Vlady in 2016

His falsebook trolls, their chaos unseen

Actually it was, but wasn't spoken

Barack stayed quiet, now we're broken

Chances of getting to birthday 250

For America, looking rather rifty

Too many guns

Too many stupid ones

Only sit, fat & watch the fox

Shrinking brain in a rotting box

Earth is shaking but none too big

Course in Texass w/ fracking rig

Weather break for us, again

As cool dry air does a spill in

But, round the planet, heat waves grow

Global warming the real reality show

As on stupid humans breed

Way more kids than they can feed

Sun spotty, planets still a lovely line

But, on the Earth, things are not fine

If we haven't tipped, we will soon

And, we ain't moving to the moon

Time for a forest stroll

Get a big dog on patrol

Today On Earth

Meanwhile,

The buzzards wait

Patiently

July..On & Off Earth

July 2022 - On & Off Earth

As we reach the halfway mark for 2022 and kick off July, vacation season goes into full swing, gardens begin to produce the fresh summer goodies we hoped for when we planted and we celebrate America’s 246th Declaration of Independence from England, all around us, evidence of recent troubles and future concerns sneak into our everyday world. 

Way back, during the January 3rd ice and snow storm, a branch of the dogwood tree just off the corner of my house snapped and hung down precariously against itself. Understory trees like dogwoods are tough and it was still attached so I didn’t cut it off; thought I’d give it a chance. My patience was rewarded and that branch, with the rest of the tree, bloomed; a white blanket draped down that side of the tree.

All seemed well, until the blooms faded and the leaves burst on the scene. Trees have to be strong to hold up all those leaves (mostly water and stored carbon) and while it handled the blooms, the weight of leaves proved too much and that branch snapped off, the leaves quickly shriveled and died; another storm casualty.

These past few months we have all seen the crews out working to clean up the damage from that storm and while the interstates, main highways, utility lines and most backroads are cleared, a visit deeper into the forest reveals a different world.

Without the ability to migrate, trees only option to deal with the changes Earth throws at them is to adapt and they are doing that everyday (like every other organism on the planet). The smaller trees, thin and spindly, reaching up for a share of the light, took it hard on January 3rd. 

Bent and bowed then and now working hard to hold up all those leaves they seem to sag lower every day; add in the weight of rain and the stress of wind from a stormy planet and times are tough in the woods. Seems like I’m ducking under or trimming another low hanging branch or tree everyday, reminded of winter as we move deeper into summer and the heat and humidity and bugs of July.

As we celebrate America’s 246th birthday, a look back into the recent or distant past will reveal a host of challenges that have bent and bowed the adventure in democracy that is America. Self-serving forces, even now, from within our boundaries and beyond, weigh on this country (and world) we all share. As the entire forest works together to lessen the impact of any storm, American democracy has always survived by finding ways to come together, bending but not breaking, ever adapting to the stresses Earth brings our way.

A July, quick peek off Earth, finds our planet at it’s farthest point from the sun, also on the 4th. For early risers with a southeast view, the first week of July is the finale for the string of all the visible planets stretched, in order from inner to outer, across the barely dark, predawn sky.

The Full Buck moon is on the 13th and again, closer in its orbit to Earth, and a little bigger to our eye. The sun, although a little farther away, is still nearly overhead and will quickly take unprotected skin from tan to burn. Our orbit moves the sun, in our Earth-bound view, from Gemini to Cancer on the 22nd.

July: American birthday celebrations, fireworks, garden goodies, vacations, sunscreen and a reminder of the United part of our grand country’s name. We have tried divided, it did not go well. Stay safe and get out there and participate, positively, in American democracy.

OMG..Sammy Rae!! Wild!

It summer & the storms will come

At the festival, bit of a bum

Hour shower shut it down for awhile

But, then Langhorne Slim..a smile

Then Sammy Rae & her friends, whoa!!

Just blew it up on the night's last show

Another little S. Carolina shake

Iran still issues w/ Earth break

Moon near Venus in predawn sky

Sleep..had to pass that by

Big ole sunspot turning away

But, one last blast headed our way

Time to go mo' music today

Hope the rain don't wanna play

Today On Earth

Sammy Rae gets wild!!

On To Red Wing Saturday!! A Sad, Bad Step Backwards:(

Lovely weather for Red Wing Day 1

Little warmer but back for more fun

Banjo, dobro, guitars & mandolins

Feet were moving, faces w/ big grins

Old friends seen, new friends made

Lotta hanging out, in the shade

Big ole High pressure dome sits

Still giving deep south big ole fits

In horrid news, but no big surprise

Supreme court slime, 13th century reprise

Poser christians & the worthless GOP

Sadly rewarded for their evil misogyny

Abortions rights, women's rights; done

But, hey, it's still easy to get a gun

Gonna have sex, gonna have a kid

But, don't worry, we'll shoot her dead

Iran dealing w/ another big quake

Seems praying to allah just don't take

TrumpVirus deaths back on the rise

In unvaxed 'merica no real surprise

No surprise, since it is now OK

To be an asshole in every way..

Today On Earth

Trey Hensley & Rob Ickes

DAMN!!

Red Wing Roots Friday

It's looking like a good weekend

For players to give a string a bend

#9 Red Wing Fest

Easy choice, it's the best

No big heat or humidity

So.. time to let the music be

Usual world quake scene

Few shakes but no tsunami seen

Round the Ring, 20 volcano spewing

Just off Italy, another one brewing?

Too late & foggy for planet show

And, on the road, I gotta go

Minor gun reform got a pass

Usual whining from nra & Texass

But, AR-15 in a mo-ron's hand

Safe as building on flood plain sand

TrumpVirus numbers sneaking back

We're all still under attack

In soooo many ways

Be smart & safe these days

Today On Earth

Turtle on the move..

 

More Rain, Back To Cool

Another semi-wild afternoon of storms

More hopeful news of minor gun reforms

For some, a break from the heat wave

Another 700+ unvaxed headed to a grave

Rumor; donnie's watching hearings, pouting

As more republicans share, the traitor outing

Never his fault, always his claim

Never his fault, who's he gonna blame

What a twisted, evil, piece of trash

His believers, an infection, 'merican rash

Afghan aftershocks, for aid they yearn

Why help those that want us to burn..?

Why can't little allah fix the taliban mess

Maybe he actually doesn't like your dress

Perhaps same reason pope is such a joke

Get more help & insight from a big toke

Breed & breed & over breed

Then whine & beg about your need

On your knees, they pray & pray

To whom..seems none can really say

Just send the con men more money

They'll promise in death all is sunny

Earth reality, planet does not care

Of our plight & gods, planet unaware

🎵🎵🎵

Red Wing Roots music fest

It is the best

Today On Earth

We'll see...

Earth Battles Back.. Look Out!

Seems little allah won't help the Taliban

Or figure earthquakes into building plan

5.9 quake rattled the 12th century land

Earth & gravity still in serious command

Actually, was right on border w/ Pakistan

Also, where rights.. only if you're a man

Yet, on they pray and beg for help

Too bad got a very bad review on yelp

Could stop oppressing women..yea, funny

Or spend some of their opium money

Maybe unwrap & let their brain dry out

Live on Earth not "heaven", give us a shout

Idiots in Iran also dealing w/ big ole quake

And, Indonesia & PNG, usual daily shake

In another land of denial, the USA

Can't deny there's a heat wave under way

Add in humidity, then talk about oppression

All mixing in w/ rebel loser depression

In same country, up New Hampshire way

Mt Washington hikers found it don't play

Summer turned to winter & very quick

Hypothermia to death, a slick trick

Didn't read the sign or trust it's worth

As advertised: Worst Weather on Earth!

Our risk today, more big wild storms

'Round the heat dome, coming in swarms

We will wait, we will see

As our CO2 heat trap sets planet free..

I saw a brief fireball last night

Streak brightly w/ dying of daylight

That was cool!!

Sunspot still huge, but no big blast

Not sure how long that'll last

Finally, few TrumpVirus updates

For another 570, news was not great

TDS* still willing to believe & die

As his hate, fear, evil willing to buy

Like Taliban, can't argue w/ sick mind

And, on the fox, reality's hard to find

Cuz you can believe & believe

But, this planet you can not deceive

What ever it gives, ya gonna receive

Today On Earth

what the...??

downed tree

jammed a little farther

downstream

Serious debris catcher!!

*TDS -TrumpDickSucker

Serious..out of lucker

Or dumbass f....

Happy Solstice!!

It's now summer up north, winter down-under

How hot & stormy, we all gotta wonder

Heat waves cook Europe & USA

S. Asia, the rains won't go away

Arizona, The Grand Denial state

Got wildfires jumping to great

Everest base camp, no longer on ice

Tar & plastic, new ocean pollutant..nice!!

Reservoirs, rivers, groundwater..low

Til next deluge & flooding you'll know

Trap more solar heat, more extreme

But getting that fact, seems a dream

Keep screaming about the economy

But, on dead world, there won't be..

Mine & drill & burn & dump

Accelerated by the fat orange lump

Vlady's puppet, dictator wanna be

In a US ruled by the minority

Poser christians waving their guns

Shoot your kids but no abortions

Onward Earth tilts to & fro

Unaware of the petty human show

Today's the day of the greatest tilt

1st day of summer, already on wilt

At least w/ last week's 4" of rain

We aren't feeling big drought pain

But, very nearby

It is very dry

When will Texass grid collapse?

How will Greggg keep that under wraps

How many dead in southern heat wave

How to blame Joe in next fox rave

Wish it were better, but gotta be frank

I'm gonna put more gas in my tank..

Monster sunspot continues to grow

But...when is next eruption gonna blow

Haiti got a little, 4.1, quake reminder

Reality, friction is rocks only binder

And, w/ pressure it's gonna slip

Making our planet a shaky ship

But, that's low on the problem chart

Address real issue, we won't start

Patriarchal religion = overpopulation

To even mention, an insane sensation

But w/ over breeding Earth will deal

Forget woke..On Earth, only the real

Lie & deny & spin & blame

To ignore the obvious..what a shame

Happy Summer Solstice

Today On Earth

I suggest an Earthship

To ride through the stormy seas ahead

Better..than dead

Spring...That's a Wrap

Today is the last day of the Spring season

Tomorrow's solstice is Earth's reason

But, for the midwest & now the South

It's already hotter than the devil's mouth

Hit 100 up near Canadian border

Seems to be the new Earth disorder

Dixie's week will see records smashed

Got no AC, your chips may be cashed

But, in GOP land, they are irony impaired

Can deny global warming, still not be spared

Wonder how local pols are spinning this heat

Sure won't dare put it at Big Oil's feet

Anything but reality, where they'll put blame

Likely Biden's policies is what they'll claim

More public land drilling & a new pipeline

Just get oil cheaper & all will be fine

NOT!!

Gonna get HOT

Western Pacific, lotta subduction shakes

Even Greece feeling Earth breaks

From Kuril's down to Taiwan

Bit more Pacific plate.. gone

US West coast, still slipping up

Nothing too big, just little abrupt

Sunspot, just made the jump to huge

From big blast, really have no refuge

SpaceX w/ more sky pollution

Mo' stuff in near space, ain't the solution

The only solution, fewer human kids

Otherwise, gonna blow off all lids

Feedback loops.. by default

Are self fueling & will not halt

Sorry humans, maybe be to late

But, no worries, not long to wait

What won't work so great

donnie's plan, use fear & hate

But, it will cause such a fuss

If we admit.. the problem is us

Today On Earth..

Turtle & dogs

don't care

Father's Day/Juneteenth

'Round the world, lots of greats dads

Yet, also, waaay too many, that are cads

A father, yes, but only in name

Sperm deposit, their only real claim

While perfect, my dad was not

He was there, gave me & my sis a shot

And, to all other dads working hard to be

The supportive hubby & dad we need to see

To🍻You!!

And, to you posers that just shot your load

We'd all be better w/ it down a commode

Cuz if you just hit it hard, then off you ran

Not sure you can be called a dad..or man

Since it's your kids w/ guns on the loose

Too bad a condom, you did not choose

And a pox on Texass, for Juneteenth today

Took 2 years 'fore freedom came that way

Emancipation Proclamation set slaves free

But, in Texass, 2 years before they let it be

Now passed laws, can't say slave in school

Can't speak the truth, the Texass rule

Same in Floriduuh, nor slave or gay

It's the new GOP/Nazi way

Gov. Ron w/ adolph, mao, donnie & mitch

W/ Vlady, History's hall of pussy ass bitch

All across dixie, they continue to roast

Right where they deny warming the most

Up to Canada all thru the Plains

Where Earth reality, onward it wanes

Kinda like moon, 'cept brains getting smaller

Listen to the fox, think got a right to holler

Be rude & deny, the new Golden Rule

Perfect, when leader is donnie the fool

Here the weather's almost hard to believe

Cool & dry w/ breeze, big heat reprieve

Cool won't last, it's summer Tuesday

Then the real heat, comes dixie's way

To move that heat, it's hurricane time

Trash Floriduuh & Texass, oh so sublime

Quakes around, nothing shaking wild

On nearby star, quite far from mild

Monster filament about ready to blow

Headed to Earth, we soon will know

TrumpVirus deaths, few reports

Just lots of denial retorts

Time to go, too nice outside

Not a day to hang in & hide

Today On Earth

COWABUNGA!!

Canadian Air For The Win

Cool & dry, wind from the northwest

Our reward for passing the heat test

Thanks Canada, for the break

Mid June, low humidity we will take!

Seems some places did not pass

The heart of stupid, would be Texass

W/ Ted on a Cruise, here's a safe bet

More death & hate we're gonna get

Yea..and he's gonna run & hide..then lie

About, guns, donnie, women's rights: deny!

Talk Global Warming, illegal to even try

But, greedy, rip off oil, we still gotta buy

Now Earth's air is worse than smoking

Live in any Ghina city, you'll be choking

But, combine heatwave & bad air, then you

Got a free standing smoked beef barbecue

Kansass🌞🐄🐄🐄🌞style

Roast in the feedlot for awhile..

Georgia w/ a little 3.9 quake

SW Puerto Rico whole lotta shake

Usual scene around the Ring

And dumbass Texass w/ fracking thing

Planet show, lined up before sunrise

Sun remains spotty, no big surprise

TrumpVirus dead, 300ish more, done

But, dozen death states, report, none

Now 'mericans captured in Ukraine

Sadly, gonna feel the russkie pain

Fight for Ukraine, right thing to do??

But, not sure we're coming for you..

Not just south, Europe cooking, too

With a hot planet, it's what ya do

And, to battle sea level rise

Build a sea wall, just a disguise

When the rise comes in feet

Any wall it's gonna beat

TDS* outside Yellowstone whine

Was a tourist star..now no shine

Seems poser christians not able to pray

The rain & floodwaters away

But, they'll deny & they'll blame

And demand help, always the same

Time to get out, enjoy the day

Before the lovely goes away

But, not..

Today On Earth

Just out for a stroll..

*TDS -TrumpDickSucker

Let There Be Wildness!!

More often than not, when it's really hot

Forecast: storms, a shot, it's what we got

These came w/ a tornado warning, too

My smart dog knew just what to do

Go into the pantry & hide

No need to look outside..

Our outcome was the best

As storms went over the crest

Followed down the James valley

Have seen no tornado tally

Well.. one touched down in Goochland

NOVA, 90mph wind..Earth in command

Yellowstone more rain, SW hot & dry

Kansas feedlots, 1000's die in heat

Will big beef still sell the meat..

Storms today, just to our south

Smacking dixie in the mouth

Then a breath of Canadian air

Glad they are willing to share..

Another russky nightmare in news

Coal mine methane in space views!!

Sun, waay spotty, clusters, are 9

Big blast.. Earth may not be fine..

2 days, no TrumpVirus report

Million+ dead, too many to sort??

Lot of quakes around Caribbean plate

Mostly seafloor, none too great

Least here..little storm damage to report

But, Yellowstone River did a cobble sort

Street thru town, now round river rock

Live on flood plain, why the shock

Today..we'll see..

Still..we're riding around 

On Earth

Sometime in the past

This tree took a blast

Pretty tough though...

 

Flooding On A Flood Plain.. Shocker!!

Ya voted for donnie, built on a flood plain

I'll have to go slow when I explain

River valleys are sand, silt & mud

All deposited over years by a flood

So..another flood will wash it away

Kinda like money if donnie ya pay

Recently screaming freedom, guns, rights

Now begging the feds for heli flights

TDS* so proud, can go it all alone

First sign of trouble, they're on the phone

Help me, help me, help me... now!!

What ever the risk, get here somehow

Wonder if they know why it's Yellowstone

Cuz it's rock from volcano recently blown

Built on flood plain near a super volcano

Probably go to fox for ya need to know

Down in AZ, times looking rotten

Got no water to grow their cotton

Lake's Powell & Mead

Don't have what they need

To actually be a lake

If no water, just a fake

Farm the desert, what are ya thinking

Pump groundwater, now Earth shrinking

Greed seems great, til it's not

Exponential growth maybe not so hot

CO2 higher than in 3 million years

And high gas cost at top of our fears

Temps, ice melt rapidly accelerating

Sea level rise, coasts contemplating

No quake issues around today

18-ish volcanoes blasting away

Ethiopia's Erta Ale, a gassy patch

Krakatoa, Popo, Etna.. bear a watch

Another 600 TrumpVirus dead

Sad..coup the only plan in his head

Scammed his mob for 1/4 billion dollars

But, his supporters they still holler

Tough to admit ya fell for the con

Even when all ya money is gone

We'll see if we get another big storm

After all..extreme is the new norm

Heat & humidity really no surprise

Time for me to wrap & rise

Today On Earth

I was here 41 years ago

This is a recent shot

They're above the flood

Deep in the" hide your illegal cash" state

Live in S.F. Dakota.. bet you're a

*TDS - A TrumpDickSucker

Very sad..pathetic..
