What's Happening?

I'm sorry you aren't getting any relief!

Guardians of the Watch Towers, Send some cool air to Ty's house! SMIB!

 

Doesn't it seem strange that it's more than 10 degrees warmer here than it is down your way?


Nah... All perfectly normal. [/climatechangedenial]

 

All our plants are a month to 6 weeks ahead of normal blooming schedule.

 

All my plants are on different schedules, same with the animals. Nothing is synchronized anymore.

 

Maybe the poles are flipping.

 

Flipping is sudden movement, I think we would all know if this would be the case. About 1/2 the people would be in outerspace, and the other half semi buried in the ground.


The poles have shifted significantly in the last 15 years or so... But, that's not the issue.

 

I know they've shifted slightly.

I've heard that the pole shift would cause darkness and 300 mph winds.

Then I've heard it would just be a magnetic shift we'd not notice.

 

I've greatly disliked (ground) chipmunks and I'm not sure what fat creature is now inhabiting a smallish front section of the yard. There are any number of holes - like 2 or 3" in diameter. These holes are all slanted. For as many ground squirrels or chipmunks I've had tear up my flower beds, I've never seen anything like this.

There is a little area in the middle of this I have a grouping of potted plants and I wonder that the ground isn't weak enough to cave or something. :yikes: I never saw anything like this until I mowed there around Jan or Feb. this year.

 

That's kinda weird, Lynn.

They aren't yellow jacket holes; are they?

Don't know if this covers your area... Might give you an idea though.

 

Planned on doing half the lawn today and half tomorrow but was moving good so I kept saying just this last patch...until there was only one patch left.

 

All I need to do is trimming and pushmower stuff tomorrow... Maybe a little bit with the second mower.

 

My daughter did decide to go out tonight and she had to message me before she got there. She's scared and that makes me cry. I posted our conversation in the thread I made about the shootings in Orlando.

Send her good vibes, please.

Damn, I hate when something upsets her.

 

It feels wonderful here tonight, i am sitting outside in a tank t op and am actually a little chilly. It is still ridiculously dry, i dont think we've had rain for weeks.

Aeri, that makes me feel sad for your daughter that she has to live in fear. I will send plenty of good vibes her way

 

Had the exact same problem at my other house.

The chipmunks had a tunnel network under my property that would rival the Viet Cong

Thank you, Meli!

 

Wait a minute. You're saying that there are people and places where nightlife is not considered dangerous? I'm not familiar with that. Around here, the number one reason for a club or bar to go out of business is having all the regulars scared away by a recent shooting. Gun violence has pretty much put an end to nightlife on Elm Street in Greensboro, once the most happening place in NC. I would go hear a lot more live music if it wasn't so dangerous.

 

we have had several clubs close due to shootings here Karen but only at certain types of establishments - usually clubs that attract a predominantly black crowd (pains me to say it but it is what it is) and also at the occasional redneck dive bar. Fear of a shooting has never ever crossed my mind in most bars and clubs here, especially gay bars. I used to go to a gay dance club sometimes with a friend of mine and everyone was so sweet and friendly it never occurred to me anything bad could happen there.

 

All our shooters are always black, and to find an all-white crowd here, you have to go hear country music, which I hate. Elm Street has even had a couple of shootings out on the street. Ziggy's in Winston-Salem used to be regionally famous, with a long history of Grammy winners, but it had a gun murder on the dance floor and never recovered. No arrest was ever made.

Nothing has really changed much since the eighties, when the Greensboro Coliseum suspended rock concerts for a while due to violence. People were throwing cherry bombs into the crowd from the upper deck, and after every show, it took nearly the entire city police force to clear the parking lot. The rockers wanted to fight and party all night long at their cars.

Maybe I'm more comfortable with New Orleans because it's not that different from what I'm used to, in terms of risk. Bourbon Street freaks a lot of people out.

Curiously you rarely read stuff like that in a thread about gun control on here
