Cali Shakes, East Coast Rain

S. San Andreas is little shaky today

Near the border down Mexico way

Here, it's a mess, Floriduuh to Maine

Some'll be wild, some just mo' rain

And the cool still staying that way

As we head into month of May

Sun still with some nasty spots

We're hoping we don't get big shots

Low lat auroras fun to see

But, Earth gotta be bathed in energy

Active sun taking satellites down

Elon's crap spewed all around

That's it, all I got

Time for walk in a dry slot..

Today On Earth

43 Party Time

Harriers & Willie

Happy 90th Birthday Willie!!!

Making the case for smoking mo' pot

Willie Nelson hit's 90..that's so hot!!

Even w/ tax issues & same old guitar

Who'd a thought he'd get this far!!

🎸

Here, a one day lull in the rain

In dixie, seems mo' warming pain

Deny reality & won't even say gay

But, mo' climatic change is on display

Ronnie deSatan took Disney on

Prez chances quickly getting gone

Seems his only support is online

In person, he is so not fine

Fat lyin' donnie going after Joe

But, to jail, Joe ain't gonna go

Orange makeup & bad fake hair

In prison, no one will care

Elon's space debris fell back down

Scattered over Colorado ground

Few quakes but nothing too big

Active sun doing the sunspot jig

Could be a big blast headed our way

It's a star & has the final say

3.6" of rain got my creek a'rolling

Gotta use a bridge if a'strolling

Maybe time to get my Willie on

Today On Earth...

Same slump

One day later..change can be slow

Or fast..pay attention

WOOOOOO WILLIE!!!

🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

We're Talking RAIN...and Mo' Rain

Perhaps, for awhile, the drought is done

Cuz we've sure had some big rain fun

Still it pours, pounding on the roof

Dog just walked out, what a goof

More big shakes N of New Zealand

But, seems no big waves up on land

Texass still fracking, w/ methane release

Creating quakes, too; stupid won't cease

Plan for coming future, looking ahead

No..making sure no unwanted fetus is dead

Always scream freedom, but won't let it be

Must have control over all that they see

Imaginary jesus they scream as they judge

No forgive or forget, always a grudge

Poser christians just making it all worse

As we all wallow in TrumpVirus curse

Elon screwed twitter now ruining space

Rocket debris raining all over the place

Satellites blocking a view of the stars

Today, clouds w/ block of Venus & Mars

Waxing on, a bright gibbous moon

And, hopes that the rain will stop soon

Snowmelt flooding, remains quite a mess

Flood plain living, stupid! must confess

Good day for sleeping in, then a nap

Maybe some reading, writing on tap

Still it rains, slowing it's not

Stuck as we are, 'tween cold & hot

Today On Earth

This is a SLUMP

Gravity & Geology

What a team!!!

Haven't heard from donnie

He don't know what to say

Now that his mouthpiece Tucky

Has suddenly gone away 😢

Wet Times Coming

As dixie deals w/ storms & hail

Here, a slightly different tale

Got some clouds & some sun

But, mañana we're in for rainy fun

1 or 2" are in the forecast

But, maybe..too long it won't last

We're in a little bit of a drought

And, be nice to wash the pollen out

Quakes today, not too big or many

Volcanoes, 21 listed but aren't any

Unless on the Ring of Fire

Of that, I'm not quite a buyer

Sun still spotty but nothing wild

Time to walk my brown child

Dog gotta go...

Round the world, same ole show

Male driven war & greed

When ideas & sanity we need..

Seems not..

Today On Earth

Here's part of my sanity plan

Take a walk....

April Stays Cool!! You Go, Joe!!!

As Joe continues to fix donnie's mess

Who else to run, you would get less

Bernie or Liz, both would lose bad

Too whiny & liberal, just kinda sad

But, Joe knows how to play the game

And run against donnie, outcome: same

How will donnie even know what to say

With mouthpiece Tucky sent on his way

W/ GOP it's all one giant lying rant

All w/ same old white racist slant

All women's decisions made by a man

Misogynist control remains only plan

Now, who's gonna tell them what to do

Lost 800 mill..so gave liar Tucky the screw

In show of true colors, Ruskies called

Work direct for vlady..Tucky enthralled:)

😈

We remain in the late April cool

Earth unconcerned what we think is cruel

Just doing its thing w/ mo' energy

As mo' CO2, every day, we set free

Usual quake scene, nothing too big

Aussies now doing aurora jig

Spring here but it's Fall down there

Lot more darkness for colors to appear

Tree rat numbers seem on the rise

'Bout time for a big BB surprise

Today On Earth

Wild Roses...lovely

Seeeeeya Tucky..TDS* Idiot

Poor lying Tucker lost his job

Now full time sucking donnie's nob

Didn't realize he sounded so gay

His high pitched whine, yuck I say

Hope the law suits just keep coming

&, clueless GOP just keeps bumming

But w/ Tucky gone, who'll they turn to

Got no ideas, what will they do?

Wave their guns, spew their hate

Pretend w/ donnie, all was great

He's the virus, that rages on

His drooling masses, o so wrong

Another big quake, Indonesia today

Seems no tsunami underway

For allah's help, sure they will pray

As usual, none is coming their way

Here it's cool & semi-sunny

Mo' dixie tornadoes, that's semi-funny

Here's hoping mo' fox talking heads

End up fired, then end up dead

Today On Earth

Have a cookie, Tucky

Would do ya good

*TDS-TrumpDickSucker

Same as it ever was...

May..On&Off Earth

There was a 7.1 quake north of New Zealand...no tsunami report..cuz verizon sucks and won't load tsunami sight. Southern auroras, too! Won't load this blog, either...SUCKS!!!

May 2023 - On & Off Earth

If April showers are required (and they really are) for May flowers, the blooms in May could be somewhat sub-par. Our below average rain (and no snow) so far in 2023 has not lowered groundwater levels yet, but if rainfall doesn’t get back closer to normal it will soon. The lush green wall I see looking into the forest is the direct result of thousands of trees slurping up that groundwater, charging ahead with leaf growth and adding another year’s layer of wood. 

The last few evenings of April and the first few in May will be brightened by a waxing moon, peaking with the Full Flower Moon on the 5th. Mars and Venus will sneak closer and closer, still in the southwest at dark, spending most of May around the stars Castor and Pollux, the twins brothers of Gemini. A thin crescent moon adds to that grouping from the 21st through the 24th. The sun moves out of Aries and into Taurus on May 15th.

While there are fine views in the evening skies of May, it is the sun that rules the month. May Day has 13 hours 45 minutes of sunshine; by the 31st that has grown to 14 hours 34 minutes. Throw in twilight on either end and your time options for an adventure out on our tilted planet have also grown. That sun angle is steep though, remember the sunscreen and protection from bugs, always looking to add you to their menu, will also add safety and quality to any outing.

Since I mentioned La Niña in my February column and its effects on world and local weather, I thought I should update things. Seems, after 5 years of mostly steady, easterly breezes, the Trade Winds have died down and all the warm water they push across the Pacific is sloshing back; El Niño has returned.

The sudden appearance of all that warm water, with its negative affect on local fisheries, was first noticed back in the 1600’s. Since it first appeared around Christmastime, is was given the name El Niño, meaning the child in Spanish but when capitalized referring to the Christ Child. With centuries of records and increasingly more and better data, we know when El Niño arrives and what it might do…yet…

Difficulties arise from the fact that Earth, just like all the other planets, is a chaotic, turbulent world where everything is a new variation on a recurring theme, just never quite the same as before and the world’s oceans are even warmer now than in 2018.

Past El Niños brought drought and wildfires to Indonesia, big rains to dry regions of western South America with drought in the Amazon basin. They usual stir-up huge snows in the western United States with milder and wetter weather around here. El Niños tend to create strong winds aloft that interfere with Atlantic hurricane formation.

In the present, even ahead of this new El Niño cycle, the west coast and northern US have had near record snowfall; at the moment creating massive flooding issues as that snow melts. We will find out if the extra heat stored in Atlantic waters can spin up storms despite the El Niño wind shear far above; hurricane season officially begins June 1st.

Long term weather forecasters, like baseball players, are considered stars if they get it right 1/3 of the time. Riding around on this spinning, blue marble of chaos, we are all in a position to observe what happens; Earth offers a new view every day. Get out for a look around but be ready to adapt, extreme seems the new normal and having a plan B or even C, seems a good idea.

LOTTA LADY SLIPPERS

Time For.. A Cool..Change..

The Front is thru w/ a burst of rain

W/ a switch to cool of Spring, again

Caribbean plate still rather shaky

Aleutians also, eruptions & quaky

Sun is wild, blasts headed our way

Radio signals are gonna pay

Big dog is snoring, birds chowin' down

Tree rats digging holes in the ground

Forest is green, views have grown short

Ticks are looking for a new blood resort

Don't want that resort to be me

Usually feel 'em, before you can see

Be careful out there

Today On Earth

I got the beets....

Again...

Can somebody out there

Kill trump & putin??

Please!!

EARTH DAY #53... Progress....eeehhh

For 53 years we've been taking a day

To maybe find a somewhat better way

To not destroy our one & only home

But, w/ double the people, hordes a'roam

Way more cars spewing more CO2

In USA, into flesh, daily bullets chew

Religious nut jobs always looking back

Mo' dicktotors planning another attack

Ice is melting, glaciers into the sea

Piles of plastic on every beach you see

Rivers are running low & slow

Even barges are a no-go

All our drinking water's laced w/ drugs

All our money sucked by corporate thugs

Still we parade & celebrate

But, 53 years in, we ain't doin' so great

One side wants to build walls & bombs

The other to pay off parental bums

There are new ideas that are great

But, really, too small & too late

Cuz this planet is gettin' hot & wild

Not gonna be pretty for today's child

Here, a wild ride coming today

With a Cold Front on the way

Sun has hurled more energy, too

Will fire auroras, give radios a screw

SW Puerto Rico still w/ the shakes

Hopefully, not new volcano it makes

😱 🌋  😱

Time to get our ahead of the rain

Hopefully it don't get too insane

Today On Earth Day

That's some shit...

Bovine

Well cured and ready to grow

Still On The Warm Side Of Spring

As tornadoes raged & space debris fell

Here it's just heat w/ a pollen-ish smell

Our rain is coming, tomorrow the day

Til then, mo' dixie destruction underway

Earthquake scene, no big issues there

Yesterday's eclipse cool! No pix to share:(

Sure, there was gun violence all about

And, opioid OD's too many for news shout

Here, time to go get some old manure

Guaranteed to crank the garden, for sure

Today On Earth!!

Euphorbia Euphoria!!

4-20... Say No More!!

It's still amazing in the land of the free

How common sense mixes w/ stupidity

Marijuana is semi-legal, abortion is not

Guns are everywhere, more kids shot

Average more than 1 mass shooting/day

Yea...we're 'free' in the US of A

Elon's toy rocket had a bad day

4 minutes in, blew itself away

Twisters in OK, where they belong

N.F. Dakota blizzard, same ole song

Extreme is here & it's here to stay

We warmed the world, we're gonna pay

Religious wackos breed on and on

All looking forward to after they're gone

Happy to make life here hell for all

Whole lotta talking w/ a brain so small

Whole human race could use a big hit

Today is the day to get on w/ that shit

Get happy, feel fine, be super nice

Golden Rule seems such good advice

But, if you wanna get treated like crap

Listen to fox & donnie run their trap

fox paid a fine, went back to their lies

Not paying attention if that's a surprise

Got big issues, really need a plan

Haven't heard a'one from 1 republican

But, from Dems, all 1 big giveaway

Remember

It ain't a right if someone else gotta pay

Party On!

Today On Earth

What lovely ladies!!!

A Lovely Hump Day

I think it's Wednesday, don't matter to me

Which means I remain very work free

Looking out into a sea of mallow green

Same hungry birds are on the scene

Arbormetrics rubes have moved on

Excuses, denials & my golf balls gone

Only cut down one, the VA state tree

Don't have to care, got their money

My wild dog left very early today

Needed some puppy & girlfriend play

He is currently into serious nap

In DeeCee more serious GOP crap

Child labor outrage on full display

But, fix immigration, ain't no way

GOP donors happy w/ the status quo

Use kid labor, on the books, a no show

Gotta pay no tax, no social security

But, blame the Dems, that we'll see

Josh Hawley, leader in GOP hypocrisy

But, a plan to fix, that we do not see

Hope his boat got trashed in hail storm

Or he's attacked in killer hornet swarm

Poor Ronnie deSatan, taking on Disney

Now, seems fewer donations he does see

Dumbass!!

They are every where

Ever ready to suck donnie's little dick

Very sad, very sick

Today On Earth

Big acorn fall

Baby chestnut oaks

They will not get tall!!

Let's shoot some missiles at Belarus...

Or Moscow

See how little vlady likes it...

Dick!!!

Corporate 'Merica...They Don't Care!

ArborMetrics or Columbia Gas

On doing right, they will pass

Gas line trimming, only one tree

Blooming dogwood, couldn't let it be

I'd helped 'em out but never again

Cut a dogwood, a Virginia sin

They don't care, they didn't think

Get back home, got beer to drink

Like verizon..service just sucks

They don't care, demand more bucks

Breezy day but a little warmer

Yellow pollen, it's still a swarmer

Mag. 6.6 quake down Fiji way

But, no big waves released to play

Sun, always wild, wind not too bad

Minor auroras might be had

Forest's turned full-on green & quick

But, one less dogwood, one little prick

Today On Earth

Stump of a once lovely tree

Not even close to the gas line

Its sister lopped off higher up

Other trees hanging over line

Not touched...

Slime ass TDS*

*TDS -TrumpDickSuckers

Teasing Rain...Drying Wind

Another front thru w/ little rain

To north, it's a blizzard, again

Even w/ a cooler day

Dixie shaping up for tornadoes to play

Sargasso mess off Floriduuh coast

Just Earth givin' evil a toast

To you👅💩Ronnie

Not much going on w/ quakes

Sun & spots, solar wind rakes

Our atmosphere every day

But nothing yet, to make us pay

Little vlady, more missiles at Ukraine

Most rusky troops dead, easy explain

Death benefit for the family

🥔🥔🥔

Is potato..maybe they get 3..

Here, bird mania, they eat & eat

Squawk & scold, sing & tweet

It is looking & feeling like Spring

Trees on a leaf & pollen fling

Today On Earth

Bluets are everywhere..

Caribbean Shakin'...

On the eastern edge of Carib plate

Couple of mag. 5's not quite great

But, entire plate seems on the move

Puerto Rico still setting the groove

All the snow that this winter fell

Is melting, creating icy flooding hell

Course, it's the Dakotas so who cares

TDS* need some warming reality shares

Here, it's greener & greener every day

Just saw 2 turkeys stroll, on their way

Down the gas line, nibbling as they go

Plenty of ticks to eat, that I know...

Another day of no rain here, well, drops

Not enough to say to our drought, stop

Still, there's water or wouldn't be so green

And, I'm still wrapped in a dogwood scene

Texass still got freakin' frackin' quakes

Get that oil, no matter what it takes

Ronnie deSatan tried to hide latest ban

Pretty obvious, he is not the man

Pro-guns, anti-abortion is only plan

We hear from any republican

Cuz any ideas on inflation or economy

Well, those we just do not see..

Today On Earth

Fungus among us!!

TrumpVirus Rages On & On & On

If gun safety is the role of the NRA

Why are so many gettin' blown away

🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

Seems, about gun safety they don't care

But scare & threaten, that I'm aware

Voice of the gun industry, we need more

And, more ammo we just gotta store

Cuz the in-breds want their country back

Screaming from basement, trailer or shack

Where they praise jesus & smoke crack

Or into secure data bases they will hack

Meanwhile, Earth rages on & on

Fat donnie w/ same lying song

Will fox liars lie in court

Or to the 5th will they resort

Here..hummers are back, Lady slippers, too

Rain..seems to the south it blew

Only one quake today even at mag. 5

But, seems..El Niño is much alive

Perhaps a little solar wind blast

But, far south auroras are now in past

But, hate & turmoil from the GOP

That's still everywhere you see

donnie's insidious evil is here to stay

Discovered lie & deny was the way

To maintain minority rule

Take the books out of every school

Play hateful suckers for the fool

And, make the world gag & drool

Charming group...

Today On Earth

Lady Slippers are back

Extreme Weather - Why Are We So Shocked?

😱 😱😱

If any place deserves extremes

It's Floriduuh..to me, it seems

The epicenter of deny & lie

But, reality keeps droppin' by

20" of rain, how can it be

What the un-Woke just won't see

We caused the change & it's here

That we won't change, remains clear

Blame & blame & breed & breed

On we spread the stupid seed

Earth don't care, it still shakes

Mags. 6.0 & 7.0 semi-big breaks

verizon says nope on tsunami site

Great service..NO! that ain't right

Got the right filter, Mercury w/ a tail

Like a comet, on the trail

Storms across the south again

Earth vs. dixie, an easy win

Big Cali snow, issues not done

What w/ snowmelt just begun

Same issue to our north

What is a flood plain building worth

Wildness raging mostly worldwide

From storm English coast can't hide

Least here, so far, all I can say

Amazing dogwood bloom is underway

Today On Earth

Even more spectacular live!!!

Floods & Droughts..Why Can't We Get Along

Ft Lauderdale

Discovered Earth will prevail

20" of rain flooded the flat land

Floriduuh where no woke they demand

Colorado basin reached a conclusion

That too much water they are using

Well, DUUUUH

Steal mountain's snow, water a desert

Yea...you're gonna feel the hurt

But, where we gonna grow our cotton

Poor fashion industry, feelin' rotten

Another plastic explosion & fire

Breathing in Ohio, you might expire

But, always greed before sanity

So..let's set more poison free!!

Here we got the heat & the dry

In fact, much of country set to fry

No big quakes, 20 volcanoes blow

Sheveluch is ruling that show

Fuego & Santa Maria, explode on

Around the Ring, where they belong

Venus still beams, Mercury sinks low

Inner most world so not slow

Seeing the turkeys trot, hawks scream

Birds still living full feeder dream

Quick change in world color scheme

GREEN..

Today On Earth

Spring hair removal

Scary...

Gonna Be A Heat Wave...

The chill is gone, the heat is here

Humidity's low, skies are clear

A summer-like scene for a few

Get out & enjoy is what ya do

But, be ready for bugs & a snake

It's Spring, everyone is on the make

Green is exploding in the trees

I'm seeing butterflies & bees

Venus still dazzles after dark

But, Mercury's time's getting stark

Seems we have a wildfire in Jersey

If like here, reason is easy to see

Not enough rain, rivers are low

Yet on we think we can grow

And grow and grow and grow

Cut all the trees & overpopulate

Millennia prove that ain't so great

If ya like it hot, or even not

Rapidly approaching, it's all we got

Today On Earth

Mossy trails are hanging on

For now

But, moss can do better

Without rain...than we can:(

Cali & Puerto Rico

A little shaky...

Kamchatka Blast, Usual Gun Scene...

Kamchatka's Shiveluch decided to blow

And up 12 miles the ash did go

Planes are gonna have to detour

Little vlady's claim, western plot for sure

Cold snap is done, cooking heat's here

Rapid snow melt, flooding, seems clear

No flooding here, closer to drought

Issue soon, brush fires about

Hope not but we all know

Lot of stupid & happy to show

Another mass shooting, same old..

GOP, not guns, truth still not told

Lotta quakes: Aleutians & Puerto Rico

Hope not warnings of a new blow

High Lat auroras likely today

Venus, Mercury & Mars in play

Dogwoods dazzle, Lady slippers show

Green, green, green; Spring ya know

Today On Earth

Beech...some crazy stuff

Thug Birds Have Arrived..

Bluejays & cowbirds now on scene

In a world suddenly very green

Gold finches still rule the feeders

Avoiding cowbirds, welfare breeders

Hummer food is about to go out

W/ warming, will show no doubt

Got a peek at Mercury last night

Not Venus bright but still nice sight

Big dog recovering from 2 puppy day

But, brown rascal did romp & play

Time for quick walk & then lunch

Back to Rhett's..what to munch?

Another dumbass blue bird

In the stove pipe, didn't get the word

Today On Earth

Verizon sucks so bad...

Zero service

Another Stolen Pagan Party..

Spring celebrations are all the rage

Pagan rites now on a twisted stage

Rain & clouds have moved offshore

Perhaps golf today won't be a snore

Surprised they don't tiger a cart

But, need a driver or off road he'd dart

Sadly, ever shot he hit's we will see

As cbs proves how bad he can be

Few quakes around, only into mag 5's

Mostly seafloor, we will survive

Will there be an easter killing today?

It's 'merica, only surprise if no way..

Minority control & biblical rule

Poser christians all frothy w/ drool

Claim for life but oh so quick to kill

Mo' stupidity over an long safe pill

Seems jesus wants no abortion

But, everyone should have a gun

Somehow, don't sound like jesus to me

Just poser christians bent on misery

For all...til death

And, then things are great!!

Wooooo, can't wait

But, I will...

Today On Earth

If only this hickorosaurus

would come to life and 

Attack Texass & Floriduuuh

Bad Golfers That Bang Porn Stars...on cbs

Maybe on golf coverage today

CBS can boost ratings some way

🏌🏌

Let lyin' donnie & tiger trade stories

'Bout cheatin' & all their hooker glories

One pretends to still be a pro

Other lies & lies, this we know

Sure they'd like each other's company

Both, type section for ultra slimy

But, may be too wet for golf in GA

Suck it up rich guys, get out & play

Some play for  Saudi killers, these days

Seems some'll do anything that pays

Rain will stay south, just clouds here

Today's quakes, nothing yet to fear

Webb scope with cool Uranus pics

Venus & Mercury, if ya need planet fix

But, not here if clouds remain

It's Spring, say no mo' to explain

Today On Earth

Puppies do grow...

What a sweet boy!!

 

Back To Spring Gloom..

After a 3 day heat wave

Back to Spring & it won't behave

Still spinning up twisters

Mostly in land of big lie insisters

Did ya vote for donnie & house is gone

This is global warming, he's so wrong

At least Wisconsin, to TDS* said NO!

Backwards is not how we wanna go

Tennessee, shows mo' GOP slime

As they step back to medieval time

If Volunteer speaks out against guns

Seems what voters say..matters none

Lil' shakes 'round Puerto Rico

Otherwise, usual round the Ring show

Sun, spotty but no big blast

Venus adds new member to the cast

Mercury joins low in the west

Dark & binocs to make view best

Dogwoods have just burst into bloom

Pollen adds a pale yellow gloom

Lookin' & feelin' like Spring

Today On Earth

Dwarf Iris

Lovely
