WOW.....didn't see that one coming.

What the map proves is that once upon a time a long time ago the entire earth was tropical.

 

 

Yep, even the Sahara and hard is it for most people to imagine, Antarctica. Not a geologist but I've gleaned enough over the years to know our precious Earth is not static, especially the climate, even long before man lit that first smokey campfire. In the long distant past, tectonic plate movement (S. America & Africa were one continent e.g.) and tilting of the earth's axis and reversal of poles played huge roles in our blue marble's ecosystem, long before the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Genesis 1:6,7: Then God said: “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let there be a division between the waters and the waters.” Then God went on to make the expanse and divided the waters beneath the expanse from the waters above the expanse. And it was so.

 

Total water vapor cover.

 

Genesis 2:5,6: And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

 

Total terrarium.

 

  

 

From a magazine article circa 1954: Recently it has been discovered that when plants wilted from the dry heat they recovered from wilting more rapidly when dew formed on their leaves at night than when the ground was watered, and that so much dew was taken up that the plants functioned normally during the next day without any watering of the ground. It had not been suspected how large an amount of water was absorbed from dew and later excreted through the roots into the soil and stored there without loss by evaporation. The amount of water thus put into underground storage by the plant was found to be measured in milliliters even in the case of small plants and occasionally to equal the entire weight of the plant itself. Doubtless this was the way most of the vegetation of the earth was watered from the third creative day down till the flood of Noah’s day, "when God had not yet made it rain upon the earth but a vapor went up continually from the earth and it watered the entire surface of the ground". quoted above.

I have more time to look at ******, so I do. Not much else going on in Southern California with everything shutdown. My kids have been learning online for 11 months now. They haven't seen the inside of their school since March.

Btw, for you sickos, it's gun and truck ******, lol. None of that nudity stuff. What were you thinking?

With tracking the dashboards on covid infections. I noticed the lock downs states had the same infections as the least restrictive. The question was finally asked. The answer was basically, beats me.

My thoughts are with people who have suffered because of recent weather events.  We are currently enjoying pleasant weather but have been "under the weather" for a few days.  We have been advised to go for a Covid test which we will pursue today.  I hope for a negative result as we have been well behaved!   For the past while, I've been sorting out electronic equipment and accessories that I have gathered over the years.  I feel like I have every chord type and length ever needed to hook up computers and stereo equipment for the past 35 years.  I realized just how ridiculous it is to save such things when I found myself driving to Lowe's on Saturday to buy a 6' extension chord for a new alarm clock!

Last night I came across an article that discussed how somebody at John's Hopkins said we'll never achieve herd immunity. Mentioning this to my wife, she said, hopefully more people will realize this and we can be done with the face mask garbage. She's a healthcare professional. She suspects one of the reasons there's a low acceptance to the vaccine is due to mask mandates, and people thinking if enough people get the vaccine the virus will go away, but they shouldn't get the vaccine themselves because they don't need it when masks work so wonderfully. She's already received the Pfizer vaccine. I won't be getting it. If I die, I die. I'll finally have peace and quiet.

Btw, an interesting theological thought: Buddhism believes in reincarnation. If you go through life kicking dogs you'll return as a dog, and so on. Does that mean everybody who works to kill viruses will return as a virus in their next life?

That’s terrible. My kids have been in school since the end of July. My son is finishing his travel basketball season in the coming weeks. We started baseball the beginning of January. My daughter has karate twice a week. We have been back to “normal” for some time. Really the only changes is reduced capacity (games, reataurants, etc) and having to wear masks which I am over [emoji2361]

The media is making it out to be everywhere is shut down, they should really paint a truer picture many places are and have been operating close to normal for some time. It’s like they report on these few areas (California and Chicago most notably) to keep people in fear or something?

As I mentioned earlier the dashboards between California, Florida, Texas are about the same. As for Texas it’s been normal for a while. My father in law felt flu like for a day after the second shot. My mother in law just a sore arm. I get my second shot Friday.

California and Chicago are classic examples of what the patients running the insane asylum looks like. I lived in Chicago from 7/2012-7/2015 and moved to California in September, so I think I'm qualified to say that.

Cubs are my team, too. My kid plays baseball and wears the same number as Kyle Hendricks on his uniform. It helps to have the same last name, too.

California is on another level right now, Cities like L.A. are downright dangerous today, the place is a disgusting dump!
