…of wrath.
And what a wrath it will be.

Not so if the sun is blocked by clouds. My family used to grow table grapes in Cali.
Yep. I see all the bad ones, and think: They harvest all those, the rotten ones with the good ones, plus the caterpillars and such, and mash them and sell them for grape juice and jelly and whatnot. In my case, 65 years ago or so, when I was 10, Aunt Penn gathered Muscadine grapes to make grape juice while I ran with the dog across the hot farm down in central Texas. There weren’t any rotten grapes in her container. And she loaded it up with sugar she could hardly afford. Grapes. We should all be stained purple.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to Mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds…
Oh Lord yeah!
Louisiana environmentalists and locals are growing increasingly concerned about certain carbon capture projects supported by President Biden’s climate initiative, as nearby Black communities grapple with already elevated cancer risks from existing chemical plants.
The EPA was never intended to be able to regulate carbon in any form. CO2 is not a “pollutant”; it is plant food.
It is also the inevitable emission generated by every living animal on Earth. It thus cannot be a “pollutant.”
Carbon is also, I remind you, the entire basis of western society and our economy.
I don’t care if you like this or not; it is fact. Thermodynamics is not the “book of suggestions” and there is no alternative that works on a planet in which all life is carbon based and all energy transformed by said life ultimately traces to carbon.
We are all carbon-based life forms. So is the tree in your yard, your cat, dog, the mosquito that bites you, the bee that pollinates your flowers and the crops you rely on to live, and so on. By mass carbon is the second largest contributor to a plant or animal by mass; only oxygen is greater (and that, almost-exclusively, is due to water content.)
YOU ARE NOT A POLLUTANT AND NEITHER ARE THE THINGS YOU EAT.
The insanity is breath taking. The foolishness is straight out of a bad science fiction satire. Look at the No Dak facility. So they’re going to create mountains of dry ice, and store it underground to prevent climate change? How long are they going to store it there? What’s gonna happen when that stuff turns back into gas? (hint- it rhymes with room) Just wait until they find out that the Aztecs were right all along. Gaia won’t be happy with anything less than the still beating heart of a virgin. The gods frown on anesthesia. It’s gotta happen live on stage.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

I miss Gerard. Six months. Time marches on.
6 months sure flew by fast. I have no idea where May and June went …
…of wrath.
And what a wrath it will be.

Looks like a “melting pot” of grapes.
Yep. I see all the bad ones, and think: They harvest all those, the rotten ones with the good ones, plus the caterpillars and such, and mash them and sell them for grape juice and jelly and whatnot. In my case, 65 years ago or so, when I was 10, Aunt Penn gathered Muscadine grapes to make grape juice while I ran with the dog across the hot farm down in central Texas.

I could be very comfortable in a home like that! They really managed the details.
