Malaria wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

Malaria acquired in Washington State. The state I call home. Yes. We have mosquitoes but we typically don’t have tropical diseases. This could be a symptom of a warming world. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/malaria-possibly-contracted-in-wa-would-be-states-first-case/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR5BjhgbJgXmAYxr0Cozfz16m6iaQG4EPCp2gLn2YtGg5uXTYV1UOpSAFU3lXw_aem_uzAiEBTaIChxNAeGn43-ug

Extreme Heat is bad for your long term health.

@ 11:33am, 62.6°F, 80% humidity, ENE 1.3 mph wind, partly cloudy, rain 0.01”, monthly 0.01” I’ve seen this before, from other sources if you are one of those CNN haters (because the red hats told you to hate it while trusting faux news that had to pay out a huge sum in court for beingContinueContinue reading “Extreme Heat is bad for your long term health.”

I am not the only one who notices.

Weather apps. IMHO have never been that reliable in the rural areas like where I live. As the apps draw information from more populated areas, they don’t record the trends as well. General information is usually ok, like if a wide spread storm approaches but the nuances of micro climates are not picked up. ApparentlyContinueContinue reading “I am not the only one who notices.”

It’s Up!

I got my personal weather station up and running today as the mounting pole finally arrived. Now I don’t have to rely on questionable apps for my weather data. Meanwhile I also set up a compost bin for the garden. My pod people already had one they made but it’s a long walk to itContinueContinue reading “It’s Up!”

Feels hot and humid.

@ 11 am. I’m not even bothering to jot the temperature down from the apps today. All the apps are saying different things and they all feel wrong. But the new weather station is arriving today. So things should get a lot more accurate. I got my watering done for the garden, attempting to giveContinueContinue reading “Feels hot and humid.”

Solar Electric Fencing

4:45 pm 61°F, cloudy, W 7 mph wind, trace rain It’s been sprinkling today but not enough to really register on the weather app. It was certainly damp when I was finishing up the electric fencing this morning. Other than the yellow poles, we already had the netting and I had the solar box fromContinueContinue reading “Solar Electric Fencing”

Over and Over

I’m seeing in all theses social media posts about the catastrophic floods, storms, and fires (all over the world but especially in the USA) where people still in so much denial. They blame “god and the end times.” They blame “government.” (Especially whomever they didn’t particularly like or vote for.) They blame 5G. (I literallyContinueContinue reading “Over and Over”

They Deny It But It Still Exists

3:30 pm 63°F, mostly cloudy, west 9 mph wind, 0” rain https://abc7.com/post/kerr-county-texas-flooding-least-13-dead-23-campers-unaccounted-amid-guadalupe-river/16956934/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLVNGFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHiHfMi5KQwLuf4VSfO568VM7klPYlem5znlNSpMFhC8AU_E-MbRt7OVL59Sv_aem_ULX_IR1yRjtFSIUogYZ7Lg#56mvpszk11wxt99fo3edcde32fbjjlqwk Flooding in Texes. Were they not warned because the weather service has been cut? Were they not warned because the weather patterns are not predictable (due to climate change they are refusing to admit to?) So many of us who are not afraidContinueContinue reading “They Deny It But It Still Exists”

It’s Been A While, Hasn’t it?

@5:45 AM 55*F, Mostly Cloudy, N 6 mph Wind, Monthly Rain 1.08″, Year to Date rain 37.20″ It seems the more I use my paper book journal the less I spend typing here but I am paying for this so I may as get back to regularly updating.
