Man, all I was hearing on the local news this morning was Gov. Roy Cooper was headed to DC to greet the Japanese Prime Minister, who was then coming to NC to visit with local Japanese business owners. I wondered if that included the owners of the little Japanese grocery/convenience store down the street from me.

The only reason I could see a reason for a delay is that the lawyers getting sanctioned for filing a frivolous appeal.

I have been to a Walmart once. Elder Sister, whose memory is both a blessing and a curse, was going on a cruise and needed a beach cover-up. That was before the gastric bypass; she was morbidly obese. I found what she needed right away and got out of there.

Another 🤷🏻‍♂️ who knows headline from NYT

“Ocean Heat Has Shattered Records for More Than a Year. What’s Happening?

There have been record temperatures every day for more than a year. Scientists are investigating what’s behind the extraordinary measurements.”

Yes what could it be? Are all the sharks leaving the oven on? Is the ocean ceiling fan still set on Winter circulation. We may never know.

The planetary ecological disaster that we've been loudly and repeatedly warned about for 50 years, since at least the 1970s?

Expand full comment
Chemical's avatar

If I had to take a serious guess at this, it's probably because the ice cap and glaciers at the North Pole have mostly melted. Ice can absorb a ton of energy before it melts. And now, since it's mostly gone, that energy has to do something, so it's heating up the water.

I live on the coast, we had a historic hurricane after 5 decades of relative calm for our city, hurricanes missing us on the right or the left since 1970 until 2017 when we took a direct hit. It will be interesting to see if we get visited more frequently by Cat4 and above, and by interesting I mean my interest is whether my house is still standing with a roof on top. They raised the causeway about 25 years ago so I guess they saw it coming.

I said this 5 years ago when it basically stopped snowing in our area during the winter. It’s going onto happen fast. That’s how physics and chemistry work. Gradual then all at once. Like a solution changing at a certain temperature or acidity. Problem is MAGAts never showed up for Lab day.
