Ian Still Bringing The Pain..RAIN!!

Not too much more to say

Ian bringing the rain our way

After a serious Floriduuh trashing

Comes a little Carolina thrashing

Over Gulf Stream, again a hurricane

Gonna bring wind & storm surge pain

Lotta sand is moving on

Beach was there, now it's gone

Sanibel Island, no bridge in

Score 1 for Ian, gets the win

Gov. still just saying stupid stuff

State the obvious when times are tough

Deny the truth about Global Warming

Now beg for help, so not charming

Lot of quakes around today

From Burma, PNG, up Alaska way

Lot of plate stuffing round the Ring

Mid-Atlantic ridge, a lava thing?

600+ more TrumpVirus dead

Believe donnie, you a stupid-head

Sun spots are getting wild

Effects on Earth, so far, mild

Local very good news

WIFI conduit in our views

Might discover what is, streaming

So far, we've been dreaming

Time to track down a big dog

Put a wrap on the blog

Things to do in RVA town

Then...gonna watch rain come down

Today On Earth

Ian clouds

And a sundog!!

Nice!!

Hurricanes Here, Typhoons There, Student Walkouts Everywhere!

Glennn, Glennn, Glennn

Still..screwing our YoungKin

And, our YoungKin, screw you, too

Walking out of class, what they gonna do

Terry was right, parents should not rule

Only real concern, their kid at school

But, teachers & admin they care

About every kid walking in there

Nor does idiot Glennn, obviously

Poser christians ok w/ screw of LGBT

'Merican hypocrisy is alive & well

But, if posers right, they going to hell!

No way you can give donnie a vote

And think up to heaven you'll float

Where is this "heaven" in the universe

Ancient man-gods are so perverse..

Other TDS* that are in their own mess

Floriduuh, where to reality, won't confess

Ian's power straight from a hot sea

Now don't know where their roof be..

Philippines dealing w/ big typhoon

Higher seas for all, coming soon!

Here, already feeling Ian's wind

Acorns pelting, trees set to bend

Wet weekend coming for VA

Mountain flooding coming their way

Big quake down on Scotia plate

But, tsunami, no need to wait

Mid-Atlantic ridge still quaking

Not sure if it's lava doing shaking

Round the Ring, shakes & eruptions

Volcanoes, only minor disruptions

Big blasts down in Ecuador

From Sangay(wild) & Reventador

Cool Europa pix coming from Juno

Life below ice, might soon know..

DART's collision w/ Dimorphos asteroid

That now has dust cloud on board

Comet-like is its new look

Did it change path when it got shook?

Earth, still much in charge

Ian, still living large

Today On Earth

All that remains

Of donnie's face mushroom

Still a good photo of him

Or a very old baseball glove

Old leather, like his face

*TDS-TrumpDickSucker

Enjoy a little reality

Down Floriduuh way

Kansas reports..455 dead

Month, week, day

Nothing said

TrumpVirus rolls on

Unvaxed, obese, you gone!!

Ya won't be missed...

Several Reminders: Earth Rules!!

Go on & pray, believe what you believe

But, it's from Earth which we all receive

Our one & only shot at life

There will be joy, there will be strive

Like today, down Floriduuuh way

Deny global warming, ya gonna pay

Storm surges, wind, rain & tornadoes

Still no certainty where big Ian goes

Water slurped right out of Tampa Bay

Seems, epcot, it's coming your way

In greedy USA, will be no surprise

Citrus trashed, prices are gonna rise

Looking to cruise across the state

Ocean visit, then SC, Lindseee can't wait

Deny Joe is prez, now begging for aid

GOP wants our money, their taxes unpaid

Mid-Atlantic ridge still shifting

Westward N. America still drifting

San Andreas down in Baja Sur

Mag. 5.4 shift along the sea floor

Lot of quakes at 5, none at mag. 6

Standard Earth moves, no real tricks

Solar blast just clipped Earth

Suddenly, auroras given birth

None seen here but weather is nice

High pressure is the device

Clockwise spin will give Ian a nudge

Storm be leaving more than a smudge

Here, most likely, issue will be rain

Flooding, our issue from hurricane

Weekend plans, will need to adjust

This seems a forecast we can trust

Elsewhere...

Russky men continue to flee

Dead in Ukraine, they don't wanna be

Greedy little Vlady forgot

"He who attacks must vanquish

He who defends must merely survive"

Ain't gonna vanquish, a mess he got

In Italy, fascist prez, w/ our GOP

So..Italians..pain they gonna see

Although, I get anti-immigrant stance

It's still Rome brought us to this dance

Pope: no contraception, just overbreed..

Now Euros receiving the human weed

Idiots having kids they can't feed

8 kids, I need, need, need, need

Still jesus & allah are doing zip..

And, Floriduuh, your gov. what a dip

Just a taste of sea levels to come

My hope: Villages turned to a slum

Today On Earth

Cows enjoying the cool

Less buggy times

Ian Has 'Em Fleeing..

While I hope family there is OK

The rest of Floriduuh should pay

They gave us Bush & Punk'n Head

Between those 2, left millions dead

Current gov. ronnie sucks so bad

Typical TDS* neanderthal cad

Ian slurping from super warm sea

About to give deniers little reality

Turkey just rocked w/ 5.3 quake

Their "prez" really a Euro fake

Turkey long history of genocide

Equally long w/ trying to hide

N. Mid-Atlantic ridge also shaking

Lava oozing? rocks be breaking

TrumpVirus still killing 400+/day

Unvaxed Floriduuh leads the way

NASA's DART: direct asteroid hit

Now..how much will blast move it?

Surprise solar blast lit the sky

Icelandic aurora, treat for the eye

Here, the weather is quite a delight

We'll see if we're in Ian's sight

What we could use is the rain

Problem, remnants often bring the pain

Looking to slap Floriduuh hard

donnie's house debris in the yard?!

That would be so sweeeeet

donnie dead, bonus treat

Today On Earth

It's September

PineSap is popping

*TDS-TrumpDickSucker

That's you

Gov. Ronnnie deSatan

It's Ian Time..And, October On & Off Earth

Ian is now official a hurricane

Bringing 1st Cuba, then Floriduuh

PAIN

We'll have to wait to see how much

I'll be back w/ On & Off

After a walk and a wrap-up

And, here's On & Off Earth

Rocktober

October 2022

On & Off Earth

Earth is not big into statistics, that’s a human thing. We measure and calculate and interpret the data in an attempt to make sense of our chaotic planet. Hurricane season, on average, peaks September 10th, but not this year. Fiona and now Ian have put a minor kink in the averages and added late season storm awareness to all along the eastern seaboard. And, all will know much more about Ian by the time this column comes out.

What we can measure and predict with great precision and reliability is the daily appearance and departure of our nearby star. October begins with the sun rising just after 7am and setting just before 7pm; it rises after 7:30 and sets at 6:15 by month’s end. The extra darkness means more time to get out and check out the sky views off Earth.

Our clever ancestors also mapped and figured out the celestial comings and goings in the dark skies above their heads. So, if clouds allow a viewing, I can tell you that September will end and October begin with a waxing crescent moon above the southwestern horizon as twilight fades. The rusty red star just below the moon on September 30th is Antares, the heart of the constellation Scorpio. By October 5th, the now gibbous moon is to the lower left of Saturn. The moon will revisit Saturn on Halloween.

Three days later, on the 8th, the now nearly Full moon will spend the entire evening just below  the King of the Planets, brilliant Jupiter. Bigger than all the other planets combined, and closer to Earth than in 59 years, Jupiter has just reached opposition, placing it directly behind the Earth from the sun, so it rises about sunset, sets in the west about dawn. 

The Hunter or Blood Moon is October’s Full Moon on the 9th. The moon is brighter but Jupiter, still nearby, holds its own. Jupiter will remain big and bright in the evening sky into 2023. The sun spends the entire month in the sprawling constellation of Virgo. 

For the second straight year (and 3 of the last 4) a cold front moved through on the Fall equinox and quickly flipped summer to fall. Southern air will be back (with Ian??) but October trends mean temperatures will continue to fall and leaves, already a few cut loose in our recent dry spell, will change colors and they too, will fall. It is a lovely time of year to get outside.

Something else is falling as well, next year’s baby trees. Those future trees, in the form of acorns from the oaks and nuts from the hickories, walnuts and beeches, are littering the forest floor in the thousands these days. Squirrels and their fellow rodent kin snacking now and storing for winter. The trees are counting on a few of those seeds being hidden too well and sprouting in the spring.

The largest (3.7cm/1 1/2”)of the acorns fall from the chestnut oak. The tree in the middle of my front yard clangs them off my roof, bounces them into the windows and while the odds of being hit are very low, an acorn on the head is a very real reminder that fall is here (yes, an acorn got me pretty good recently, ouch!). Please, don’t let that deter you from getting out and enjoying October.

NASA’s launch of Artemis, rescheduled for September 27th, has been scrubbed again, this time over concerns with Hurricane Ian. Long delayed but finally launched and fully operational, the James Webb space telescope has already returned stunning photos that are pushing our knowledge of the universe into new directions.

Next month: Was NASA’s DART spacecraft able to nudge an asteroid?

What is this???

I think I've seen one before..

Bad Girl Fiona Rules..

That Fiona, she's still a very bad girl

Islands both south & north, big ole swirl

Another reason to not build on a coast

Eventually, gonna get a salty toast

Now it's Ian, next in the queue

Floriduuh, ronnie, he's coming for you

Typical asswipe denier, what does he do

Begs for FEMA..maybe send him the crew

Of kidnapped immigrants that he flew

To Martha's Vinyard, trying to screw..

They'd work.. unlike much of Floriduuuh

To which ronnie responded w/ a wuuuuh?

Ian's scrubbed next Artemis launch window

Cuz who knows just where it'll go

Mar-a-Lago is my first choice

Give fat donnie an Earthly divorce

Biggest quake today just mag. 5.1

W/ average numbers, Earth never done

Weakish front coming our way

Hopes for little rain later today

TrumpVirus numbers, weekend lull

And, no, hospitals are not full

But, still killing 400+ per day

Unvaxed TDS* going away..

Speaking of not going any where

Our star, 93,000,000 miles from here

Still quite spotty, but no blasts, yet..

In the future, sure, that's a safe bet

We just don't know when

It'll happen again..

Jupiter at opposition tomorrow

In the SE, it's that brilliant glow

I couldn't find moon yesterday

Turns out...cuz it's New today

Duuuuh...for me

Ian's coming, gonna be a bad boy

TDS* in Floriduuuh...enjoy!!

Today on Earth

Little fire action

Celebrating the 500th show of

Fresh Roots & New Blues

We toast you Steve Hamilton

And WNRN!!

Little Vlady, fat donnie

How 'bout give it a try

Improve the planet, just die..:)

*TDS - TrumpDickSucker!!

MO-RON...

Hurricane Season..Latish But Getting Wild

As E. Canada feels Fiona's wrath

Cuba, Floriduuh seem in Ian's path

Hermine is spinning off African coast

Gaston, still there, giving Azores a toast

It took awhile to get going

But, ocean heat is making a showing

Here it seems, suddenly deep into Fall

As cool dry air has a southern ball

Equinox is also aurora season

Atmosphere cracks seems the reason

Still a northern thing, not see here

Little lame Vlady holding sham elections

As Rusky men continue mass defections

A loser dick-tator lashing out

Maybe should give liar donnie a shout

Lies, fear, hate, more lies & blame

Deflect, deny, excuses..same game

Lame ass Kevinn, w/ "new" GOP plan

Lotta blow but no details.. once again

Just don't want to talk about abortion

So...blame & lie, w/ a side of distortion

But, to be fair, Bernie's an idiot, too

Massive give aways, same old spew

Over-tax rich, feed overbreeding poor

But, working solutions, they all abhor

But patriarchal religion & overpopulation

Has us in our current perilous situation

And, we've overheated our planet home

And, running out of room to roam

Overbreeding hordes ruined homelands

Massive migration w/ handout demands

Like...

Puerto Ricans building houses of crap

In hurricane zone, whine when get a zap

Like Kentucky hillbillies on a flood plain

Gonna build stupid, then don't complain

And, they all just continue to moan & pray

Jesus & allah, still no help on the way

Kinda like a donnie con plan..

"In 2 weeks, it'll be great, man"

2 weeks, or years, come & go

Fat, donnie, still nothing to show

Off Indonesia, Chile' & Mexico

Still feeling reality of subduction show

Round the Ring, usual shakes

Plates moving along boundary breaks

Enjoy the cool calm, before the storm

Hope Floriduuh gets big Ian swarm!!

You deserve a little reality, ronnnnie

Maybe work cleanup w/ donnnnie

Today On Earth

No bull here

Cowabunga!!!

And...It's Fall!! Happy B'Day Boss!!

Autumn began at 9:04 last night

'Bout when the wind was getting right

Rain, it missed but not the wind

To the forest, a major bend

Canadian air has settled in

Pushing Fiona away, east coast win!!

Now headed for Canadian Maritimes

Likely effects, far from sublime

Still big ole wind & lots of rain

To the High Lats bringing the pain

Down south, Hermine or Ian, unknown yet

The next big storm is getting set

Into the Gulf..to hit Floriduuuuh hard

Hope it stalls in Mar-a-Lago yard

Rips the fat liars house to shreds

Puts donnie in his forever bed

Ya gotta have hope, gotta have dreams

Unlike his, mine aren't ripoff schemes

But, any traitor w/ an attempted coup

Death by firing squad for you!!

Italy's Apennines w/ couple o'shakes

To build mountains, get rock breaks

No big quake issues, cleanup still

From recent Taiwan & Mexican thrill

Huge sunspots, not pointed our way

YET

But, it's a star, will have its say

NASA: Artemis status update later today

DART will smack asteroid on Monday

Who will Fiona smack by then?

Just moving tropical heat north again

Just heard Johnny sing Ring Of Fire

Earth, damn sure not making him a liar

2 dozen volcanoes on list this week

New Tonga island, taking above sea peek

Actually, Iceland mountains on a break

But, 2 on New Zealand w/ spew & shake

Reunion Island is at it again

Usual suspects, subduction for the win

Rusky men rushin' to get out

Evading Vlady's conscription, no doubt

If Vlady wasn't such a little punk runt

Maybe he'd go & fight at the front

But, typical dick-tator, rants & hides

We should send bomb where he resides..

Send fat donnie one, too

Improve world for me & you

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

🎂

Bruce Springsteen!!

You are still the BOSS

Today On Earth

Google sucks as a word processor

SUCKS

What a lovely little garter snake!!

Russky Men: Uncle Vlady Wants You!!

Poor little Vlady, running out of men to fight

Looking for 300K, lots just caught a flight

Likely not going "back to the USSR"

Course, now Vlady w/ men exodus bar

Also, spewing about some sham election

Like most dick-tators can't deal w/ rejection

Back in 'merica, fat donnie in trouble again

But...if a con man lies..is it really a sin

Fat donnie always had an issue w/ size

Got a little penis, so not really a surprise

Lied to get loans & lower tax bill

Hope: banned from NY & fined 250 mil.

But, he doesn't even have that much cash

And, most of his properties are trash

And, if justice is gonna prevail

He should, forever, be in jail

But, first...

Maybe sell Ivanka to Saudi prince

Throw in Jared as post for a fence

Course, idiot Eric, toss under the bus

Let Jr. wander, look for next coke rush

Current Euro'Ho wife, sell her, too

But.. likely only get a buck or two...

Still his mob of suckers send him cash

But, another 916 unvaxed, took a pass

Earth, real ruler, is still kicking ass

Fiona spinning up for Bermuda bash

Mexico, another quake despite the praying

Maybe try contraception..just saying

New storm seems to have Gulf in sights

If named for woman, will take her rights

Perhaps NOLA in for another round

As city sinks deeper into soggy ground

Pumped out water, pumped out oil

Dams & levees, so no new delta soil

We humans clever but idiots, too

Explain to an mo-ron, it's tough to do

Believe a shaman, allah or pope

But, in science, that's a big nope

Well, 'cept for heart pill or to rid my fat

And, falsebook on phone, need that..

But, worry about monster sun spot

🌞

Or that CME might get grid too hot..

Henry said, lives of quiet desperation

Mostly sums up current situation

Problem is, now there's 7 billion more

And, too late to close the warming door

Today On Earth

Billy Strings Rules

Glennn, Screwin' Our YoungKin

Gov. Glennn, every speech a pontificate

And, filled w/ lies, filled w/ hate

Sent his rich kids off to private school

In Va. he thinks that parents rule

If parents make such a good teacher

Why was student regression a covid feature

Teachers care about every kid in class

Glennn's parents couldn't give a rat's ass

About anybody's kid but their own

&, if mommy can always text their phone

Poser christians making Jesus so proud

Shouting their LGBT hate out loud

Glennn, Glennn, Glennn

Can't wait to screw your YoungKin

Lie, hate & bully the GOP way

Get out their guns & blow ya away

Hitler must be so proud

Of fat donnie's racist crowd!

Meanwhile, Earth storms & shakes

1st Taiwan, now Mexico, big breaks

Kamchatka hit 6.0 today

But, no tsunami underway

Fiona grows and heads north

Bermuda rain, maybe a year's worth

No power on Puerto Rico, again

Failure to adapt, basic Earth sin

Too many kids in houses, mostly crap

Pope not even aware of their storm zap

But, he remains root of problem there

Male gods that it turns out do not care

Just keep the power, keep all the money

Remains pathetic, future sure ain't sunny

Well, it will be sunny & way hot, too

As humans continue our self-screw

Jack prices, burn gas & oil

Pay less, demand more toil

Was 'merica every really great

W/ so much greed & hate?

Sun remains spotty, another 500 dead

Trace most of world's issue to one head

Fat & orange, spewing lies & blame

Anything to retain his "fame"

Keep fellow thugs in charge

Pretend they're all living large

Today On Earth

This really is donnie's face

W/o makeup & wig

Really...

Cocos Subduction, Mexico Disruption

Not sure if in Mexico, they talk like a pirate

But, I do know, 9/19 is often a quake riot

In a land of overbreeding & superstition

Same day quake leads to awkward position

To which god are ya gonna pray

To make world not shake today..??

A mag. 7.6 will get your world shook up

Tsunami arrival could be rather abrupt

But, the threats have now passed on

But...I bet quite a few buildings..gone

Pope & Jesus did not help at all

But, crap construction, houses fall

Same across isthmus in the islands

Fiona w/ some serious flooding demands

Here, seems, 2 more days of summer heat

Then Fall & Front arrive, cool'll be sweet

Still 500+/day, TrumpVirus dead

donnie's a liar, try science instead..

Poser JD Vance, hillbilly, inbred fool

Taking it up the butt, he's donnie's tool

Hard to figure what mo-rons are thinking

Oh yea, pick racism w/o even blinking

Can't be their fault they're stupid & fat

In their MakeMericaWhiteAgain hat

They sure would make Hitler proud

And, scary, they say it out loud

Earth reality check, big beach erosion

East coast, barely safe to stick toes in

Rip currents, yes, but surfing is fine

Another smack, hear Bermuda whine

Queen is buried, long live the King??

Royalty, why is it even a thing

Equinox means it's also aurora season

Earth's atmosphere cracks is reason

Well...solar blasts push it along, too

Long-lived big spot back into view

Adapt, Migrate or Die

Lot of folks, give reality a try

Today On Earth

Guardian of the woodpile!!

Nice new wood pile!!!

So from REC

Small bill I see:)

Whoa!! Fiona..And Mo' Heat & WNRN!!

Wooooo, today is officially WNRN DAY

But, only in C'ville, still cool anyway..

Not listening to the radio, Puerto Rico

Dealing w/ Fiona, now a major blow

We will miss hurricane but not the heat

South side of High, humidity, not neat..

No TrumpVirus reports, bet 500+ today

Sun: seriously spotty, any coming our way

They are watching, not sure quite yet

3 years to see how big this cycle will get

Himalaya, getting little higher today

Minor quakes putting peaks a'sway

Taiwan, still aftershocks coming

Again, glad it's not Ghina bombing

Just had a little hummer look in window

"Hey, where did the sugar water go?"

Slimy yellow jackets, a hummer pain

Hope this batch not in hummer vain

Huge chestnut oak acorns, falling..

Can ya hear it...Fall is a'calling

Last week of summer...HOT

Forecast, 1st of Fall, cool we got

We will see...

Today On Earth

Big ole turtle looking bole

Or donnie w/o makeup:)

Minor Tsunami Issues, Fiona...

Fiona strengthens for Puerto Rico

Alaska & Japan, both getting good blow

Mag. 6.9 quake, east coast of Taiwan

By now, tsunami warnings are gone

Western heat wave is sneaking east

TrumpVirus still havin' a USA feast

Average deaths back over 500 a day

Making unhealthy, unvaxed, regret & pay

Sun, still spotty & blasting away

Luckily, still, none headed Earth's way

Another morning in 50's here

Skies remain smoke hazy but clear

No rain in 7 day forecast

And, most of week heat should last

In the trees, 90 we won't hit

But, lots of pavement, gonna get lit

Seasons say it's almost fall

But, w/ CO2 levels no longer small

Heat will just continue to build

Up on the coast, oceans spilled

If not freaked at least chilled

Droughts, famines, billions killed

Future's coming, we look back to past

Gotta wonder, how long humans last..

Today On Earth..

Big dog cruises thru the shrooms

Another Day..Floods, Hurricanes, Quakes

Fiona visits Puerto Rico, Nanmodol to Japan

Aussie/Pacific boundary, shifting again

Flyover "great" plains continue to bake

That it's 21st century, few even awake

GOP makes a mess, then quick to blame

Dems stuck w/ cleanup, always the same

Our current mess, donnie's disaster still

Stuck dealing w/ hateful minority chill

Poser christians waving jesus' flag

Turns out it's same old bloody rag

Jesus: suffer little children unto me

Greggg & ronnie on a bus, set 'em free

Racist hate, fear, lies & blame

Not a plan, same GOP con game

In the reality, of Earth & Sun

Big ole sunspot back for more fun

Big blast at Venus last week

Better hope at us it don't go freak

Mid-September heat not big surprise

Well..maybe how high temps will rise

And, how long heat has/will last

Western fire smoke has almost passed

After wet summer, our turn for dry

Fools deny change as they sit & fry

American women are pissed & should be

Men scream freedom but none women see

Men, power, greed & sperm donation

Think they should run world & nation

Want the power, maybe do the job

Plan for future, don't just Neal & Bob

(thanks, Andrew Dice Clay)

TrumpDickSuckers got no clue

Except to screw, me & you..& world, too

Today On Earth

Rain...lots of shrooms

Dry, into soil tomb

But, they are there..

working & waiting

Taiwan

Just had a mag. 6.6 quake

Hope not some Ghina attack

Another kleptocracy

Looking to steal...
