The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

It is hard to comprehend that we are around half way through summer.  It sure doesn’t seem like it to me.  It’s going by so quickly and for some reason I feel like I’m missing out.  Maybe because of the weather?  Too hot, too dry, too wet, too cool, too windy (meaning being unsuitable to kayak on Lake Michigan).  But…

Suicidal

It is impossible for me to write a post today without saying anything about the insurrection/coup attempt at the Capital Building on Wednesday.  Debbie and I have been talking and worrying for a very long time about if there would be violence in the streets if Trump lost the election.  While we did not foresee the assault on our nation’s Capital Building, with ALL…

111 degrees in France, a Record. This is What Climate Crisis Looks Like Today. Imagine 10 Years from Now!

Normally I wouldn’t send you another piece of news so soon after my last post but this article was simply too compelling and extreme for me to wait. All I can say is read the whole thing.  It is horrifying.  And it’s coming to your city or town eventually. Especially if you are in Phoenix, LA, Las Vegas, Atlanta or…

It’s Exponentially Worse Than You Are Thinking…

  I’ve been telling you for years and years that our warming planet was headed for consequences much greater than was being predicted by main stream scientists and reported by the main stream media.  I warned that consequences would happen faster and with more impact than most people were willing to say to the public.  But as I’ve delineated in the last…
