How Are You Feeling These Days?

with all that's happening the past couple years, perhaps ol ted had it right.

Lyrics:

In the early morning hours there's a din in the air;
mayhem's on the loose.
Stormtroopers comin', and you better be prepared.
Got no time to choose.

Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.

Comin' up that street, jackboots steppin' high.
Got to make a stand.
Looking in your windows and listen to your phone.
Keep a gun in your hand.

Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
Get ready. Stormtroopers comin' around.

Two hundred down, and it's comin' 'round again.
Got no second choice.
Where's the justice and where's that law.
Raise your healthy voice.

Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
We'll be ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
Getting ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.

Thank you for your reply, I was wondering why!

Here is the standard Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram. Our sun is located on the middle arc in the yellow spectral class. Once its colour index was 1. Now it is dropping and moving into the white region.

This figure shows how white stars are hotter than yellow stars. This is mainly why our climate is heating up. Our Sun has now moved past Class G stars into the Class F band where the temperature now ranges between 6000K to 7500K.

Wow, I knew something was up. Thank you for the diagram.

Some people are more in tune I find. My sister has no idea what I'm talking about, glad to know I'm not the only one whose noticed

The wife mentioned that as we walked through a parking lot yesterday. Said her 'skin was stinging'.

I've been looking. Deer are more out in the open than I have ever seen them and they are far less timid than normal as well. The wife and I walked within 20 feet of four or five of them ... and they just stood there and stared at us. We've got a breeding pair of red foxes nearby. I've seen them out in plain sight three or four times this year ... and I 'might' catch a 'glimpse' of them normally.

BTW: The star stuff is pretty interesting. Made me remember that our ancestors used to 'worship' ours.

I feel like I woke up in a different world six months ago. It's hard to get through the day pretending it's just a normal day.

Nothing feels right.

Even if you refuse to turn on TV or read the latest news, everything feels off. And yes, it feels like something big is bumbling down the road toward us.

To add to this, a special niece of mine wrote to me and told me she would not be associating with half of our family anymore because we were Neo-nazi bigots.

None of us, of course, are alt-right but we are concerned about progressisivism and the NWO.

But now even our once-close family is divided.

That is exactly how my mother describes it. She says the sun stings her skin, and if she doesn't find cover, she says it feels like it is scalding her.

Some people are reporting that sunscreen, especially those they have used on their children, is actually causing blisters to form, instead of protecting them.

I am in South Florida. Have lived here for almost 40 years. I am very familiar with the Florida heat and sun, and it is just different than it was 40 years ago. Some of the weather I blame on development. Too much concrete, some is just the result of Mother Nature. Though she may seem to be fickle, I am leaning towards the idea that she just may be angry.

You know what they say, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

I just came home from a local community event. While I was there, I overheard a man who has been a roofer for over 30 years, talking about the strangeness he is seeing in roofs, both tile and asphalt. He says both types of tiles have temperature ratings and that we have been well exceeding those ratings for a while.

He says it is taking him much longer to do new and old roofs because of the heat, and having to take much more frequent breaks to cool down and re-hydrate.

I asked him this was normal, he said he has never seen it this bad in the 30+ years he has been doing roofs.

So, I guess we have at least one confirmation that something is truly different about the sun.

People who study geo-engineering are saying that the stuff they're putting into the air could be the reason for the changes some areas are seeing.

I don't know. I do know that we've had a normal growing season so far this year, none of the wild swings of moisture and temperature we've witnessed for the past five years or so. Gardens and crops have fared quite nicely. (With the notable exception of peach farmers who got hit by a late frost and lost about half their crop. It got my entire crop because my trees were in full bloom.) People who watch the skies here say the grid-pattern spraying has been halted in our area. I'll be interested to see if the amount of aluminum in the soil levels out or continues to rise if the spraying has truly been stopped. The rapid rise of what farmers call "white fields" is far more alarming to me than what that bunch of brats are in the street hissing and moaning about.

The BigSIx won't be reporting at length the dangers to our soil, our main source of food because BigAg buys almost as much media as BigPharma. Between the corporate interests and the globalist cult, control of the food supply is highly desirable. I can protect my soil from Monsanto by not introducing their products but I can't control what falls out of the skies. So I pray for understanding and a way forward that is beneficial to the land I will hand off to my children.

I've never felt better and have more clarity.

Finally got sick and tired of slaving over a keyboard, went out into the Real World and took time to smile and be kind to my fellow human beings.

When it became obvious the Internet is a giant Social Experiment I just tuned in, turned off and dropped out.

Oh, and if you do perchance to follow the lead, don't bring that internet hostility outside.

We don't really need any of that B.S.

Shop smart.
Shop S-Mart.

Voices from the sky is next i think.
Just a hunch.

My garden was awesome right up until April. Then the rains came. It has rained here every day since the the first part of May. I don't mean light little spring showers, I mean pouring down crazy rain with thunder and lighting.

I have standing water around my house and since I live in the woods, it looks more like Louisiana than South Florida.

We call the tiny little enclave where I live, the Twilight Zone because the weather here seems to be eerily different than all the surrounding areas great than about 5 miles in any direction.

I pray for people to buy more from their local farmers or to grow as much of their own as is reasonable, to decease our dependency on big businesses. We really do have the power, we just don't have the fortitude.

Yes, we've got a great group of farmers growing locally. And a lot of them are actively teaching anyone who wants to learn about growing food. I think one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is to teach them to grow and preserve food.

I recently spent three afternoons teaching inmates at the local jail how to tend the strawberry patch they put in last fall. It's the first of several permanent patches they are hoping to establish. For many of them, it is the first time they've ever produced anything that they could hold in their hand---and eat! You can't imagine the excitement when they saw the strawberry plants putting out babies!

And yet ... here you are ... again ... following up.

So suave. You have the most passive hostile post in the thread. Why did you even bother? (That's rhetorical BTW)

It's important to keep an eye on social trends.

I actually feel great.

My beliefs are confirmed, and concentrating on my life, my wife, my family, making some moves to accomplish the life I always wanted.

People spend too much time worrying about others. If everyone just took responsibility for themselves and their own, everyone would be in a better place.

Same here - I feel pretty good, myself. I'm slowly working toward my dream goal which is a replica Ludwig drum kit like the one that legendary drummer, Ronnie Tutt, used and played when he worked with Elvis. He used this particular drum kit from Autumn, 1970 until Autumn, 1974.

I suppose I feel pretty good, recently got the all clear from cancer at the age of 24, my other half and I recently purchased our first home, things are going pretty great.

I try not to get too much into the news or social media these days, every time I do, I can feel myself getting worked up about how stupid humans can be. I'm sick of the constant fear mongering with North Korea and Russia, sick of the divide with different beliefs etc, sick of hearing about what Donald Trump has or hasn't done, sick of Brexit doom porn. And much much more. I just wish we could all just get along for once on this planet, and focus our attention to the advancement of our species and the welfare of our planet, for life is too short.

To quote a Linkin Park song: In the end, nothing really matters.

I try not to sweat the current event crap too much, seeing as there's not a whole lot we can do about it.

I am feeling a bit of ennui since Saturday.

My cup runneth over, and I am not sure that I even want to clean up the mess.

The splatter is making such interesting patterns on the walls.
