The Southwest Is Doomed
I was watching Sunday Morning today and it had a story on global climate change. I have also been reading about it in other places too. I am not talking about "Global Warming". I believe that the Earth is in a natural warming phase right now.
Changes in the jet stream have created an extreme change in the weather of the southwest USA.
The Colorado river is drying up. It was once fed by snow melting in the Rockies. It's not snowing like it use to because of changes in the Jet Stream. The river no longer runs all the way to the ocean. Lake Meade is drying up. At present rate it will be dry in 2021. The hydro electric dams along the way will have no water to power them, including the Hoover dam. 21million people will have no water. The ground water is going fast. What is down there is often brine and not drinkable without desalination. Impossible without power too.
Dust bowl days are ahead. Nevada, Arizonia, Texas, New Mexico, Oaklahoma, even parts of Kansas are at high risk.

WTF
I saw TIME magazine this week and it actually pissed me off.
The soldiers that died at Iwo Jima deserve more respect than this. This Pulitzer prize winning photo deserves more respect than this.
I have actually stood at this monument and gotten misty eyed thinking about the sacrifices of my fathers generation.
I bet half the pussies that created this cover drive Hummers.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Charlton Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing ''Ben-Hur'' and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the '50s and '60s, has died. He was 84.
The actor died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia at his side, family spokesman Bill Powers said.
Chuck loved movies and guns. He was a "Gentlemen Shooter". My kinda of guy.
--The damn dirty apes are prying the guns from his cold dead hands as we speak. RIP
Portraits Before and After Death
I believe that 95% of the internet is Shit. I have seen to much of it and have been disappointed so often that when I find part of that elusive 5% it can make me sigh.My wonderful wife sent me this link:
Portraits Before and After Death
Not many things are so haunting and beautiful that they can make her cry.
"My good friend is a hospice nurse. She often says there is no difference between her work and the work of a labor and delivery nurse; one helps to birth babies and the other helps to birth souls - both of which require great courage. She likes to imagine that those souls are a messy, squirming, crying blob which are handed to their creator who knows and loves them.
There is great and haunting beauty in these images, and death..."
--I miss my parents... still.
