Not A Lovely Day...Winter Returns

The cold is close but not here yet

Only in the 40's but it is wet..

Seems we're at the high for the day

January's going, winter's gonna stay

Right now, snow & rain, sleet & ice

Mexico to Maine, it ain't very nice

Seems idiots out driving around

That'd be ok but they won't slow down

And, Memphis cops, whatcha thinking

That body cams would be a'blinking

Then same black lawyer's on the scene

Crying for justice, raking in the green

Or..maybe he donates his big fee

To BlackLivesMatter, works for free

I'm betting not, more lawyer slime

Professional liars..should all get time

Cuz..in USA, everything we buy or do

Hidden lawyer fees screw me & you

One element burned out

Fix old, buy new..no doubt

Replace it

Today On Earth

Venus is just off the tip of the tree

Gonna need to expand

Bright in sky

Not on an iphone..

Crappy astro pix..

A Lovely Day...

Wow...it is gorgeous out

For at least a day..

IRan digs out from their quake

It seems allah not answering their prayes

The "allstar" officiating playoff teams

Once again...suck

Ghina w/ the big shakes today

They don't care..

Too many people to care

Tonight..

Mars will be occulted by the moon

South of here, just close here

Jupiter continues to drop

Venus races toward us, gets higher

Their close encounter a month away

Time for me and a dog

To get out and play

My column is done!!!

It will be here Thursday

Can you spot Venus?

It's there...

And, We're Back To Clouds..Rain

After a quite lovely winter day

Clouds are back, rain on the way

Big ole 5.9 quake in NW I-Ran

Sure it's aid they will demand

But, helping Ruskies & fighting Iraq

Aid or sympathy, won't get jack..

Another  mass shooting in the USA

More denial it's all the guns in play

La Nina still remains in place

Keeping warmer air in our face

Feb. forecast not calling for snow

Perhaps to a golf course I'll go

Warmer times just keep a'coming

Got chair lifts, you'll be bumming

Comet visible to the naked eye

If you have a cloud-free dark sky

Got the dark but now the clouds

And, only seen early, still snoring loud

Sun still spotty, big one near

When it turns our way..unclear

'Til then, it's War, Drugs & Shoppin'

Fuels the greed, keep humans droppin'

Today On Earth

Little Vlady mushrooms

Little dick, still bombing

Wants everywhere

To suck like Russia

Only eat

🥔

Evening Sky Show Continues

Venus draws near, Jupiter receeds

1/4 moon onward to Mars proceeds

Brightening comet, 'tween dippers seen

But, it's speeding & soon fleeing scene

Usual quakes show, local concerns only

More killer cop protests we see

But, not driving reckless, never a stop

And, no, not excuse to be killed by cop

But, if you behave & don't break the law

We will never know who you are

If G. Floyd wasn't drunk w/ fake bills

Never in a video that gives all the chills

Fix your own issues before you blame

Not that hard to play the lawful game

Parents wail but first thing cops saw

Was your kid, out breaking the law

TrumpVirus dead, still 459/day

Classified docs flying every which way

But, problem of guns & drugs

Congress gives that all the shrugs

USA sells guns to Meso'Merican thugs

Gotta defend yourself if sending US drugs

And on it goes, the denials, too

Point & blame..is 'bout all we do

Today On Earth

Winter plant scene

Bloomin'!!!

Denial & Blame, Ever The Same!!

Steady stream of blame won't halt

Never, never, never my fault

Parents are idiots, kids total crap

Schools ignore, snap goes the trap

Got a nightmare kid & stupidly, a gun

Now, excuses when he shoots someone

IT'S ALWAYS THE PARENTS FAULT

Most parents work hard, kids are good

But, growing percentage, never should

Want the rest of us to clothe & feed

Braid their hair but won't help to read

Today's kids are raised by a screen

Parenting less & less & less seen

So, wimps & whiners, depressed & sad

Never heard no, consequences; none had

Never been outside to play

Roll around in dirt, no way

So, allergies, asthma & autism

Gamers, instagramers, no hint of realism

Parents, too, phone always in hand

Cook own food, don't understand..??

Meanwhile Earth..does not care

If we burn oil, throw plastic everywhere

Overbreed, push carrying capacity

Earth cares not if it is ice free

Cares not if temps high or low

If floods rage & tornadoes blow

Will continue to have earthquakes

Our mess, plate tectonics w/ remakes

Sun will shine on, there will be life

With or without puny human strife

Yet, on we go, building bombs & guns

While claiming "rights" for everyone

But, if parents raise kid, complete douche

We humor & let the feral idiot run loose

Both parents & the kid should be dead

But, we make them the victim instead

Reason obvious, still wanna study it

Don't need to know why, parents are shit

Social "sciences" study the obvious

Give fancy names, make a fuss

Most unhealthy, thanks oprah, fat not OK

If men would listen, let us have our say

But, more pettiness & more facebook

Just easy pickings for a liar & crook

Whiners bitchin', no homeless shelter

Reality, we're all soon gonna swelter

Ice will be gone, fresh water, too

No fish, no rivers, whatcha gonna do?

Still we focus on mo' guns & mo' blame

Adapt, Migrate & Die, rules the same

Didn't adapt, now wanna migrate

😱

What? your old home wasn't great

But, wanna do the same things here

Again, let's make it quite clear

Fix your own mess first

Maybe it's you, not me that's cursed

Today On Earth

Tiny pine already got a cone

Be ok w/o us or our phone

Another 803 TrumpVirus dead

100+ from guns, 'nough said

Sunspots mostly small

Quakes, few, also small

Midwest arctic blast

Winter far from past...

TrumpVirus & Volcano Thursday

Thursday, it seems, is the day

Donnie's death reports all come our way

Every Thursday in January, a peak

Over 1,000, TrumpVirus deaths go freak

25 volcanoes on the list for the week

Indonesia's island arc for an eruption geek

Krakatoa is turning up the heat

Big blast there...never gonna be sweet

Etna, Popo, Kamchatka & Aleutians, too

Ecuador & Kilauea..lava coming at you

Our rain is gone but still to north, snow

Ghina is today's epicenter show

And, they're still killing lots per day

Bury 'em in the field, go on your way

Death industry gotta help their economy

Sure any growth is fine w/ killer Xi

Tanks are coming to Ukraine

Hope that adds to little vlady's pain

Already 150K rusky soldiers dead

Donnie still leads w/ most to death bed

Classified docs seem to be everywhere

Some turn in, others just won't share

So, let's put that traitor in jail

6 year old shooter, a coffin nail

Rid Earth of his parents, too

Let kid have gun, seems thing to do

W/ 8 billion some cleanup ahead

Thieves, thugs, rapist, kill 'em dead

Popes, ayatollahs, priests & nuns

Into cell, one bullet in their guns

If death is your cherished goal

Happy to help, get ready to roll!!

Or keep your beliefs yours alone

To your own self..atone

Moon should be near Jupiter tonight

W/ Mars to east, Venus lower right

Or, maybe clouds & nothing to see

Time will tell on this Thursdee

Today On Earth

Poinsettia 

25 years old???

A Cold, Wet Hump Day

We're on the cool side of a front again

But, just rain, not snow's movin' in

But, further north, there's plenty of snow

And, in dixie, another winter tornado show

Fine by me, Texass deserves a swarm

As the heart of all of Big Oil's harm

Tedd Cruz, hopin' your house got hit

Cuz you remain a real piece of shit

Same in Va w/ Glennn's GOP

Trying to whitewash history

Don't want a poor white kid feelin' bad

Bout the horrors done by his granddad

Not even a month into the new year

'Merica streets run w/ blood & fear

39 mass shooting already in 2023

Gotta always be ready to duck or flee

All those guns sure increasing our safety

2nd 'mendment screams, NRA insanity

Least more 1-6 traitors headed to jail

But, w/o donnie in, no justice will prevail

Palest of the pale, ultra white Pence

Once again, showed he's got little sense

Blasted others, claimed the higher ground

Turns out..in Indy, documents found

Do any pols really have a clue

Enrich themselves, rest get the screw

Quakes today, 4.2 roused sleeping Malibu

Mediterranean still seeing a few

N. Argentina w/ a mag. 6.4

Sure they got aftershocks in store

Another 701 TrumpVirus dead

Mass shootings get headlines instead

Least we're gonna send tanks to Ukraine

Hope to send little vlady some pain

Rocket launch, more satellites

Will we be able to see stars at night?

Minor lull in the rain...

No, weatherbug radar wrong again

Reality is...gonna be wet

Today On Earth

10 year old Amaryllis

Blooms on

Spectacular Sky Show!!

Clearing skies & we're past the New Moon

Crescent & Venus, an eyeball swoon

All with Jupiter sittin' high above

But, see Saturn..needed the binocs love

Moon should be halfway tween the 2

If tonight we have any view

Unlikely as clouds start to roll in

Wed. rain will make sky views thin

That rain today, trashing southern Plains

Plus snow & ice; bonus, tornado pains

Close fly-by of 5 meter space rock today

Close enough to take satellite outta play

Euros will stream fly-by live

But, no Earth collision, we'll survive

Off Tobelo Indonesia, lotta quakes

Yet, likely more problems w/ Nepali shake

TrumpVirus deaths; 606/day

He spoke at service, just rambled away

Claimed he didn't know her sister

Fat & in pics w/, couldn't of missed her

Stupid already, now dementia sets in

Oh please, oh please run him again

Such a giant loser

Still hard to believe not a boozer..

Bird frenzy in yard rolls on

Another cake of suet..gone

Big dog another window casualty

I didn't save cuz I didn't see

But, that rascal did...

Today On Earth

Venus is there..tiny

Rain Moves On..Comet Nears

After leaving only 0.3" in my gauge

Storm's movin', to a NE snow rage

But, we are back to mostly sun

Hopefully, smiles from everyone

'Round Puerto Rico, lotta shakes

World, low mag 5's today's quakes

Sunspots, more blasts coming today

Will they be coming Earth's way??

Didn't bother TrumpVirus check

Guessing 5-600 mo', life reject..

Comet moving into Draco

Pre-dawn, binocs for that show

Seems to be pig tracks on our trails

Asshole neighbor w/ fencing fails

Stupid people w/ bad pet choices

Doesn't care about complaining voices

But, we have a plan, simple, too

Fix your fence or we're having BBQ

More mass shootings, Asian dance hall

Not feeling so safe w/ guns for all

Turned lunar new year cheer

Into standard 'merican fear

In Ghina, government kills

Here, it's citizens w/ blood spills

Even w/ hundreds dead/day

Pop growth rolls on its merry way

Cuz if 8 billion is bad

9 billion will be really sad

Today On Earth

Get Crabby!!

50 years after Roe v Wade 

Back into dark ages 'merica fades

Freedom, rights..

Few in sight

Thanks donnie

Nice job w/ the destruction

Venus & Saturn Encounter...:( Rain

Bright Venus & dim Saturn, near tonight

W/ binocs will be a lovely sight

Here, it's looking like ain't no way

As clouds & cold rain rule the day

Lot of quakes, Mid-Atlantic ridge

Movin' plates apart just a smidge

Actually, lot of quakes all around

Indonesia still rules w/ the shaky ground

But, no big quakes, local issues only

My feeder scene, no birds are lonely

Comet, seems is up to 3 tails now

Still need a scope to view & go wow!

TrumpVirus, 'bout 567 dying per day

Viral mutation experiment still underway

Whole east coast stuck in the yuck

As Giants & Jags, ran outta luck

Time to walk, 'fore things get worse

At least not the snow/ice curse

Today On Earth

Keeping the sodium level high

But, it was tasty

At da O!!

Pretty January Like...

Back to chilly but we got sun

Birds on the feeders, got a ton

High pressure is living large

To our west, puts boreal air in charge

Pretty average mid-January norms

And..Earth changes, on it warms

Argentina w/ a mag. 6.8 quake

Deep down, so.. less surface shake?

TrumpVirus is still knocking 'em dead

Lies & blame ever spew from his fat head

But, another 920, dead..gone

Natural Selection w/ same old song

Ghina releases slaves for lunar new year

More spreading of the virus far & near

They don't really care if more die

1.4 billion, got plenty on stand-by

One child policy ongoing nightmare

Ain't nothing but whole lotta men there

Local board heard lots of opposition

Still took the big money position

Saying we have majority rule

Would be the statement of a fool

verizon connection, again it's gone

They don't care, just send my money on

One country by the rich, for the rich

Don't really care if we moan or bitch

They'll make more bombs & guns

Endangering lives, yes, everyone's

But, Earth will have the final say

And, all of us, are gonna pay

Or a big solar flare to fry the grid..

Might finally put on the breeding lid

Wish I could say the future is bright

But, I know... that just ain't right

Today On Earth

Another sunset over the clearcut

No replant, Earth doing its thing

Works for me..

Send Ukraine some tanks!!

And, missiles

And, kill little vlady's dumbass

The Wedge & Yuck Is Gone, Sun Is Back

After a nasty, gross, wet, yucky day

The sun is back w/ the wind set on: play

In a Nova Scotia wedge we were stuck

Cold, wet dense air w/ all day yuck

20 degrees warmer just to the east

But rain total far from a feast

Now the boreal wind is in charge

Leaves a'flying, gust was large

Speakin' of large, Caribbean quake

Off Guadeloupe w/ a mag. 6.2 shake

Seems no issues w/ a tsunami wave

But, another 814 headed to a grave..

TrumpVirus continues the killing

Government default, less than thrilling

Idiot GOP w/ ranting but no plan

Government shutdown, here we go again

Is the deficit out of control? YES!!

But, a realistic plan to fix the mess??

NO! None seen or heard

Blame, fear & denial still the word

Word on the sun, BIG.. ole sunspot!!

Still no bad blasts have we got

Bird scene, 2 feeders already gone

More seed..guess I'll bring it on

Big dog out on morning patrol

Now, a nap is how he does roll!!

Time to get him up for a walk

I'm done w/ this here talk...

Today On Earth

Post rain field fog..Tuesday

Eruptions, Quakes, Blizzards... The Usual

Throw in another 1,482 reported dead

TrumpVirus still tops list of dread

20 volcanoes blast gas & lava ooze

Wanna see one, Indonesia you choose

They have 8 on the list, number one!!

Or Kamchatka for some eruption fun

Course..that's russky, might have to go

Fight for little vlady in his horror show

We sit on the big front's cool side

Much of country w/ sun set on; hide

If it's clear & ya got eclipse shades

Can likely make out sunspot parades

One in particular is really huge

W/ a big blast, we'll have little refuge

Quakes: W. Pacific & Mediterranean

Seems Earth's plates, always straining

Then they slip, energy they release

So...no time soon will the quakes cease

New Moon coming & at perigee

Monster high tides from a rising sea

Mix in help from a storm surge

Much less coast line will emerge

Gun violence means, mo' folks dead

Crying, excuses, same stuff said

🎈🎈🎈

Here's a balloon, an asswipe set free

Helium, plastic...just trash to me

Thanks dumbass for your balloon

Sure your prayers, answered soon..

So much ignorance & stupidity

Whine about rights & equality

But, on Earth, there is no fair

You get a shot now that you're here

Ain't no guarantees or no rights

8 billion grabbin', gonna be fights

Same rules apply, every day

Not a right if someone's gotta pay

Today On Earth

Whole Lotta Shaking Going On!!

Pressures build but are gonna release

Then it seems the quakes won't cease

Lotta shaking along plate boundaries

Any tsunamis...verizon says, can't see

Mag. 7.0 in Indonesia's NE Molucca Sea

5.8 trouble on border of Iran & Turkey

Little US shakes from salt water injection

Fracking, big oil's latest Earth infection

Another chance of wild storms in USA

More monster tornadoes, who can say..

Talking about tornadoes in January..

Should be making us all very wary

Big rain on west coast, tis the season

But, tornadoes..warming is the reason

You can not like it & vehemently deny

And, keep dumping CO2 into the sky

Claim change will hurt economy

And, that fewer jobs we will see

Your fox watchin' head up your ass

Sucking off donnie, reality w/ a pass

Waving your bible, kneeling for a pray

And, Earth hears nothing you say

But, all that heat we are trapping

Means winter tornadoes will be zapping

The heart of denial: dixieland

Where losers still make their stand

Claim 'merica's theirs & white is right

And, still ain't no little jesus in sight

Congress asswipes OK w/ US default

But, big biz tax breaks, they won't halt

Blame dems when FEMA moves slow

But, accept big oil blame, a big no-no

Back to what we know is true

Venus, Jupiter, Mars shining thru

Along evening ecliptic, high overhead

But, 736 more won't see..they be dead

TrumpVirus mixed w/ bad health

Maybe better if ya have wealth

But, obese & rich, likely not

Seems believing liar..not so hot

Fat donnie, over 30,000 verified; he lied

Be so nice..if he & little vlady; died

We all gotta have hopes & dreams

But, clouds blocking the sun beams

Solar heating..not too much

More showers tomorrow, winter's touch

No hint of real cold or snow here

Sunspot blasts, so far, none to fear

But, there will be change...

Today On Earth

A near miss...

Probably miles apart

Still fun to watch..

We know it ain't Southwest:)

Although that is direction of pic...

Comet ZTF

Still need a scope but getting better

Rain Fallin', Sun Blastin'... CME's

No sun is shining here today

But, our star is blasting away

Monster sunspot set to blow

Could be quite the aurora show

And..if we see it this far south

Could be smakin' grid in the mouth

Rain fallin' but far from a deluge

Lotta birds seekin' feeder refuge

Large brown dog happy to be nappin'

Not too thrilled when rains a'zappin'

Few small quakes round Puerto Rico

Round the Ring, usual quake show

TrumpVirus reports, little info

Likely another 500ish, ain't no mo'

GOP waving their hypocrisy flag

Donnie's the slime but on Joe they rag

Gun rights idiots out of mom's basement

Down to RVA to do yearly rant & vent

Gun Save Lifes...WHAT A JOKE

Betting most...should not be takin' a toke

Stoned nazi w/ a gun

Democracy on the run

Only purpose of a gun is to kill!!

Other side, BLM, screaming 'bout rights

But, sure ain't many daddies in sight

Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame

Never my fault...always the same

Maybe...fix your own house first

Before droppin' your blame burst

My daily reminder, Earth does not care

If we are long gone or still here

And, it certainly don't need no saving

In due time, grass'll grow thru paving

So sick of verizon's lame-ass ads

When their service is nothing but bad

Just a total disconnect

But, their payment, that they get

How 'bout dem 'Boys! w/ a road win

Only took 30 years..momentary grin

Rain remains light, by afternoon, gone

Then global warming will return

Maybe not January sunburn...

Today On Earth

What a handsome dog!!

PLEASE...

Can somebody take out Putin!!!

Get Ukraine some missiles

Let 'em shoot back!!

Or just nuke Moscow..

How'd ya like that little Vlady??

Warming Here...Still Wet There..MLK Day!

Oceans are warm, evaporation is high

Means lots more moisture in the sky

Comes ashore & dumps all that wet

Droughts end but big flooding ya get

Saturated ground mixed w/ gravity

Tough on a hillside or on a big tree

Earth processes never take a break

Seems we can't have & eat our cake

High here is slowly moving off; east

SW air means an end to the cold beast

For a few days, anyway

W/ rain coming every other day

Coronal Mass Ejection headed our way

Sunspots blasting, wild twisting display

Couple of quakes into low 6 magnitude

A 5.0 in Guatemala, locally rather rude

Slime-ass little punk vlady still killing

Bombed apartment, 1000 dead; chilling

Similar scene here, feral punk w/ a gun

Making whole neighborhood duck & run

Still they whine & launch balloons

But, won't tell on punks, cuz cops be goons

World's problems all start at home

Read to your kids or let 'em out to roam

Spend money on fancy shoes & hair

But, focus on school..don't seem to care

TDS* blame immigrants; blacks, it's whites

All whining about some magical rights

Earth offers no rights, just a rock in space

Rights a human illusion, easy to erase

Deal w/ change: Adapt, Migrate or Die

Earth don't care about tears we cry

Sadly, worldwide, it remains the same

8 billion looking for someone to blame

If not ready to read to & feed

A child you do not need!!

Dicktators/commies/thugs, same ole deal

Whatcha gonna do?

When there's nothing left to steal

Today On Earth

Handsome dog on the moss

Always on alert!!

I'm sure MLK is so proud

Every street w/ his name

The gunfire...is loud

*TDS-TrumpDickSuckers

That slime still perpetuates the evil!!

Cold..But, At Least With Sun!!

Clouds are gone, but cold's in place

A boreal wind smacking ya in the face

But, here inside the tirehouse, toasty

Big ole sun w/ the heating, mostly

Wildcard weekend is 1/3 thru

W/ a minor surprise or two

Birds are glomming on sunflower seed

Woodpeckers on suet, the fat they need

Western USA still w/ storm scene today

More Pacific storms headed their way

Fire baked soil, more pottery than clay

Today's quake winner is Vanuatu

None too big but quite a few

Sun w/ major spots, took a peek

Eclipse shades...none seen in my seek

But..they are there & blasting away

CME's likely putting auroras in play

Birds still hitting into the window

Last to hit..least away it did go

No dog treat..which is good

But, he's out in the neighborhood

Time to go track him down..

Today On Earth

This far into a puzzle..

Before I got the edges done..

Raw To The Bone Saturday

After a day of sun & semi-warm

Clouds & cold, more January norm

Another issue when the light's flat

Too many birds hit my window..splat

Large brown dog knows the sound

Now laying at door, for a 2nd round

Already grabbed & eaten one today

He's pouting, I wait for bird to fly away

Stuck in the 30's w/ bit of a breeze

Hint of sun, not even a tease

W. coast deluge rages on..

Least..maybe drought is gone

Dixie picking up from tornado blast

Future sure not looking like the past

Sun covered in spots & flaring

Much like Earth, it ain't caring

No quake issues again, today

And, suddenly all birds fly away

See no hawk or other reason why

When ya gotta go, be nice to just fly

GOP enraged about when Joe knew

But, not a bit concerned about a coup

6 year old shooter, seems can't arrest

Nor mom, who's obviously not the best

Now..it seems school itself to blame

Warned but faulty search the claim

Until we admit: always parent's fault

Worldwide craziness will not halt!!

Schools & society have some rules

But, get blamed when ignored by fools

Betting Idaho killer some how offended

By victims & his twisted brain defended

The offense...justified the attack

"You snub me, gonna get ya back"

Waaay too many that should not breed

Have left planet w/ the human weed

Plunder Earth, throw waste away

Pretend landfill means not in play

It's still waste & it's still here

Plastic everywhere makes that clear

Earth will clean it up..in due time

Once it's rid of the human slime

OR

We could reduce, reuse & recycle

Live near work, walk or bicycle

Live better, healthier..be less fat

But, hey..ain't no money in that

Easy to see w/ budget for schools

Against money spent on war tools

Follow the money & you'll see

Cancerous growth is insanity..

Today On Earth

Sunset over the wood pile

Last peek at the sun...

2nd little bird..

Recovered & flew away

Breyer bummed...

He'll be ok!!
