here we go again

Every May I start checking the National Hurricane Center’s website, at least twice/day. So far this year the Atlantic forecasts have been clear. Until this morning. This is the first disturbance of the 2022 hurricane season, which has yet to officially start. When I checked the website again this early evening, the disturbance had strengthened. Historically the really bad systems come off the coast of Africa. I have no doubt this will become a tropical storm over the next few days. If it strengthens further… Well, I await the grim news this weekend.

climate change note book — what next?

I’ve decided not to write daily entries in my climate change note book. It became too depressing for me to document, especially with stories flooding in about the impact of climate change and global warming here in the US as well as around the world. I stopped on Sunday, Juneteenth/Flather’s Day, just to have a day off from writing and to celebrate, in my own small way, Juneteenth. I am no fan of Father’s Day which is nothing more than a cynical appeal to our sentimentality by major corporations and for those corporations to grab ever more cash out of our wallets.

When I tried to add another entry to my climate change note book on the following Monday I just could not do it. Nor can I do it today. What I’ll probably do is add an entry once/week, like my Caturday and Friday Funnies entries. Maybe a Sunday entry.

Besides the problems with global warming there’s Russia’s unlawful ongoing war in Ukraine, and Russia’s threats against those who oppose that unlawful war. If Europe thinks they can ignore or appease Russia, meaning Putin, then they’re out of their pea pickin’ minds.
