Clouds aside tomorrow, it’s gorgeous today. 76, light winds, more sun than clouds. And it’s April - Bluebonnet time.

Areas of Texas face clouds. potential for me as well.

DFW forecast Monday is overcast with afternoon t-storms. High 81. Yeah. Skunked. You telescope guys post photos if you get them Otherwise I’ll watch on TV. Good skies for everyone!

I’ll follow up with this. Not interested in a full throated debate. Just observing China spreading their own form of chaos and “influence”. China is certainly spreading its influence across the globe. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/4/chinese-weapons-found-gaza-report-claims/?utm_source=wnd&utm_medium=wnd&utm_campaign=syndicated Spread the wealth Baby.

4.0 aftershock this early evening. 9.4 km depth Interesting day.

(This topic is all over the map so I’ll post it here) China is building a very large bridge in Central America to facilitate migrants. It can’t be just about migrants. Bridge can facilitate commercial transport, anything heavy, as well as military machinery. Why is China building it? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13276115/Is-China-building-bridge-Central-America-fuel-migrant-crisis.html

Moved it. Thanks.

Exterior meddling has been ongoing since King Herod at least. Religion and government as well as religion and money.

In the Halls of Government one cannot separate Power and Money. They always reek of each other.

An earthquake struck New York/New Jersey just a few minutes ago. Information still streaming in. It has been assigned a preliminary size of 4.8 and 2.9 miles in depth. Shallow enough to rattle the dishes. This is a rare occurrence for the east coast. USGS expects an aftershock in the 3.8 range. They haven’t had a sizable quake for about 140 years. Time was ~10:40am est. Depth 2.9 mi Aftershock - 2.2

I grew up with war games, bombers, General Dynamic testing engines. Is it any wonder I went into an engineering field? I still have weekend warriors rattle my dishes now that I’m just 5 mi SSW of the end of the NAS runway. So, if we have a big one on the way I’ll pour my favorite adult beverage and wave him in.

I’m curious. What is it about this Biden? I knew a Biden that was far more moderate in his policies. More purple than blue. He reached over the aisle in decades past. I’ve watched a lot of politics unfold and his career takes the cake. He was a legislator, not a leader. This guy was never Presidential timber. I want to know who’s writing the script.

I hope you’re right. im going to hold onto that and be optimistic.

Don’t they have more important things to concern them? Like the Middle East?

I hear there’s a run on nuclear shelters lately. Considering I live 5 mi south of the Naval Air Station in Fort Worth I think I’ll just pour a tall one and watch the planes take off and bombs detonate.

I know. What would that region do if it couldn’t rattle the chains of war. God forbid they engage in serious industry.

At least nine people were confirmed to have died. More than a thousand people were injured, and over 640 people were still trapped as of Thursday, according to Taiwan’s National Fire Agency. Emergency services were prompt in responding to the widespread damage caused by the event, as captured in impressive images and videos. Several cities were affected, and many people were left stranded in high-rise buildings. The rescue efforts are still ongoing.

Texas is looking hazy or cloudy. We always get ‘skunked’. Edit: Just caught the long range from the local Met. Overcast, scattered T-storms. Yup! Skunked!

This could be a very active season. We may be a Midwest Forum but Texas/Okla could see some effects. https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/hurricane-researchers-release-stunning-prediction-for-2024-season

Could be a serious problem if there’s a crisis.

As long as it’s equal to those that drive gas engines and not more. I don’t have a problem with EVs except the battery disposal/recycling isn’t resolved.
