When they talk about a nice summer day in Seattle
they are literally talking about one day of the year. :)

The climate is changing all the time. Why is that now considered an emergency? Geez.

Because "THEY" have figured out a way to tax you into poverty.

Meat generates green house gases while raising it. Since you eat meat, then you will have to pay extra $$ to continue to pollute the planet by making unhealthy choices.

Fossil burning to make electricity will necessarily drive prices into the stratosphere.

Your gasoline car, lawnmower, boat... will have to be replaced by battery technology. Wait until you see the bill to change out your Tesla batteries when they get close to end of life!

Your nuclear power plants will have to be shut down so that things will be safer with green energy. Wait until you see the $$ demanded from you to restore the land so that flowers will grow there.

When it gets especially cold, expect the green grid to be short of power. Make sure you have extra blankets for the times when the power goes out.

And if you should utter a single word that might be considered a complaint about AOC's green energy plans, expect huge fines and jail times. The plural is used there because the state will expect you to fail to rehabilitate at first.

Sounds like you need St Alphonso's pancake breakfast! At least that's what Nanook of the north recommends.

> I wonder if they experienced record brightness 6 months ago.

Nights have been getting longer for the last 6 months due to the Climate Crisis. Our computer models predicted this. Within the next 6 months we’ll be in total darkness unless we raise taxes NOW.
Or maybe start eating babies.

Yes, Coupeville! It is BEAUTIFUL there! One of the most photogenic places in the country! What kind of shop did you own?

Merry Christmas to you, also!

Went to visit my younger bro' in Seattle while he was going to some university there.

He loved telling us about pulling a couch away from the wall and finding mushrooms growing in the carpet.

He has lived in the desert for many years now.

LOL

No doubt those shrooms were neither edible nor hallucinogenic. I’d prefer the desert to that too.

For now it’s the Rocky Mountains. Cold but usually dry and sunny.

I have one daughter in Poulsbo, the other in Anacortes, so to visit both I drive up to Port Townsend, take the ferry to Coupeville, then north on Whidbey to Anacortes. Beautiful drive, beautiful island.
