What did you do today?

[Floorist]

2021 was very dry in Oregon....Washington and California too. Some locally had wells go dry.
Look at those tree rings.....30 years worth.
They only want to talk about recent years and speak in WEEKS of drought, not years. (87 weeks ÷52=1.5 years)
More bang for the buck when using weeks. 87 sexy, 1.5 boring.
....so this one place in Oregon ( 40 miles wide/40 miles long).
The article focuses on this one area, the for the past two years the state is back to average, this year has been really wet.
......yet here's the final word in the article.

"As the climate crisis creates a hotter and drier future in the West, Casad said people need to start rethinking how land is managed, while preparing to make tough and painful decisions.

Farmers have always been incredibly resilient, Casad said. “This is not the first time we have faced insane climactic challenges and it won’t be the last.”

The inner high desert area where these people farm, have been poorly regulated and wells go dry when you pump out more than you replenish..... Duhhh!
They've been pumping more groundwater than is sustainable for decades..... This was no surprise. This was not climate change ....those 87 "weeks"
That did mankind do to the environment back in the mid 1800's when those tree rings got so tight .........for 30 YEARS!
(1560 weeks)
I'm now a climatologist

And this and last year California had floods.

We’re going to attempt to bioengineer the planet so it’s sunny and 75 every day. Prolly end up killing humanity during the attempt but things will return to normal once we’re gone so it’s not all bad.

The climate change religion is trying to find a way to block out the sun at times.

We’ll just end up burning more fossil fuels for all the extra energy that we will need because of the increased darkness. Solar will take a hit as well because it’ll be dark

I say bring it on. Let the destruction begin. The sooner we rid the world of ourselves, the sooner Mother Earth will be able to balance herself out again.

I wonder if they could get the moon to stay in place instead of revolving. Do we really need tides. I like high tides because the mudflats at low tide stink.
Or.... maybe put rockets on the moon to escort it out of our solar system. It would be fun to play with our planet at a deeper level than what's being proposed by the IPCC.

I tossed and turned all night. Woke up drenched in sweat. Mom thwarted any attempts to get good sleep. She woke me up because she had low blood sugar. Fair enough. I got her some food. Then she woke me up because she couldn't find the remote. I told her I was going to take a shower and apparently she was paging me the entire time I was in the bathroom and was a bit salty that I didn't answer. I came out and heard the phone beeping twice and couldn't reach it in time. I called her back and she was angry that I didn't answer sooner. My brother even told her I was in the bathroom. He knocked on the wall and I knocked back from the shower. But, she calmed down and I cooked something for her before going to the post office and my doctor appointment.

The good news is my immune system is working. Fever, swollen glands, etc to fight infection. Bad news is I have a sinus AND ear infection. Pharmacy was too swamped to fill my RX today so I have to get it tomorrow.

Went to Walmart after the appointment and grabbed some stuff. Most of my amazon orders came in- stuff to wear to our friend's wedding. My brother's necktie, a belt for Mom, a belt for me, nylon socks for me (haven't had nylons since my teens), bands to make sure my cheap shoes don't fall off, and head turban things. Mom always covers her hair because she's got a bit of a bald spot and I'm going to wear one to match.

Got samsclub curbside tomorrow.

Bill Gates said years ago that we needed a pandemic to wipe out some of the population.

Don’t know how to feel about that statement because there is some truth to it.

What is the population of Earth now, 8 billion something? There is no natural way we would be at that number without man made interventions. Illness, flood. famine and who knows what else are all part of the balance of Mother Nature. Populations ebb, flow and slowly evolve over time with the changes to their respective environments. With all the medical and technological advances we’ve made in the past 100 years, we have tipped the natural balance of Mother Natures scale that has existed since the dawn of time.

What scares me is the man made answer to a man made problem, and the next one and so on.

The pandemic was designed to kill off the weak. If you or someone you love is part of that group, oh well.

It sucks but it’s also reality, isn't it. Whatcha gonna do. Nothing I can do about it but watch and learn, try and live my life in a better way that puts me at less of a risk for this BS or the next emergency they make up.

From C.J. : What scares me is the man made answer to a man made problem, and the next one and so on.

Yep The clean up process will need a clean up process, and that’s where copying nature could minimize the effects and or actually be beneficial.

That’s a troubling thought for sure, and I have had that view, but where does that mindset take us ? My suggestion is into a rabbit hole that has no exit holes, how about you ? I would rather trust that humanity as a hole , would not do that and hopefully that naïveté would allow our heads and eyes to remain above ground, where improvements could be found. The truth will almost always find its way out in an almost organic way. The flip side ( Dis-trust) could prove more harmful in so many ways.

Washington DC would be a good start.

Hey, I didn't give you permission to film that.

 

[zannej]

That looks like some of the trucks I've seen around here.

I went to the post office for mail. Samsclub for curbside pickup. Walmart to pick up RX but it wasn't ready. Ended up grabbing a few items Mom requested, popped in to TSC for cow feed, went home and napped. Woke up and went back for RX. Got home and took the meds, napped some more, then cooked for Mom. Then napped some more. I'm craving chocolate now.

Yesterday I went door to door to help my friend who is running for Calif. State Senate. Amazing how stupid some folks are. Some of the first words out of their mouths are, "If he likes Trump, he won't get my vote", or "I don't care about his political views, does he like guns?", or the best one was, "I will only vote for him if he votes for Nikki Haley!"

I saw a methed out tweaker open the door so I switched up tactics and said that my candidate supports the Second Amendment. He simply replied, 'Well, he has my vote!"

so I switched up tactics and said that my candidate supports the Second Amendment. He simply replied, 'Well, he has my vote!"

Nice ! Let’s get everyone to think about switching tactics from their default method, by switching ours ! Then maybe we wouldn’t be or feel so separated.

Thanks for participating directly with democracy havasu

Most neighbors simply asked if he was either a Republican of Democrat. That just tells me they are close minded. People who vote one way or another, across the board, is just:

1) Being lazy
2) Being Ignorant
3) Being close minded.

(Holy Hell, I'm beginning to thing MSNI is rubbing off on me!)

The only reason I’m registered to one party or the other is so that I can vote in the primaries. Other than that, who cares. There is no blind allegiance from me. I would just assume to leave a box unchecked if I don’t know enough about it to make an informed decision as to which box to check.
