Goddammit.

It’s back… a good 6” here.

Pictures don’t do it justice… she was plowing through the snow with her face. At least someone is happy about the snow.

In certain parts of California you can rob a bank with a handful of it.

I ate it for 40+ years and then stopped for a month... now I can't eat it. Some people feel I'm so disciplined not eating it... I'll spare you the details, but discipline isn't the reason at all.


I'm sure part of the reason is that wheat isn't the same as it was 5000 years ago... although it is still a grain.

Some people say it's related to all the roundup used now. I have no idea. Just thought it was funny.

Sad but true.

Roundup, fertilizer, selective breeding, and other ways the human race has f'd with it. Heck even pollution probably plays a role.

Same goes for peanut, strawberry, and 100 other allergies

Right now my son is off all grains, rice, corn, potatoes, soy, dairy, eggs, cranberries, yeast, mustard, and the list goes on. He never realized how crappy he has been feeling for years. It makes shopping and cooking a challenge. Gluten free is nothing in comparison.

I live up in the peace region where we have a lot of cereal crops, and the general crop rotation goes round up ready canola that they spray with roundup to control the weeds through out the year, then often spray something on it in the fall to kill it so the seed can finish up and they can harvest it before the snow hits, then next year they grow a wheat or barley that they spray with a broad leaf herbicide through the year to keep weeds under control. It can't be good for us. I am sure our vegetables and fruit are grown in a similar manner sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. Eating healthy is getting tougher and tougher as everyone tries to maximize yields and profits.

If you guys get tired of the funnies, let me know and I'll stop.

What exactly does that mean? It’s not like we can out run it. It’s like on an airplane… put your head between your knees and kiss your ass behind.

If it comes over the island we no longer have to deal with this Covid bs any more

Quick, get your toilet paper…

Theres some questionable squares on that bingo card.

Species extinction? Happens every day.
Pope dies? I guess you'd notice if you're catholic.
Queen dies? Betty went on new year's didn't she?
But if people close to 100 dying makes for an apocalypse we're grading this thing wrong.

Florida gone probably narrows down the authors location.

Seems like volcano should make the cut.



I want to find this umpa lumpa volcano on a marine chart. I'm curious how close to that I sailed.

Went past Krakatoa at night, but it was dark so I didn't get to see anything.

I particularly like the little card they have in the seat pocket. Graphic shows the airplane going straight into a mountain. Nevermind folks, sit in whatever position is comfortable, you're ****ed.

Maybe they should make that show at least a possibility of a belly landing in a field?

As usual the news sucks. Found an actual satellite overlay. Looks like practically over Nuku’alofa
I‘d be running for high ground too.

Here's a very cool link

Explosive underwater volcano eruption in Tonga spotted from space in satellite images

The ongoing eruption is about seven times more powerful than this volcano's last outburst.

Could be worse… about 25 years ago a coworker of mine got a phone call from her sister from a plane. The pilot was circling above the airport waiting to do an emergency landing and burning off excess fuel before doing a crash landing. The crew was letting passengers call loved ones to say last words, etc.

Everything worked out… the plane had a lot of damage, but only minor injuries. Not the explosion that was feared.
