Post from summer

We are comfortable more with fall approaching, you ?

Timely

The recent and prolonged warming is  motivating action.

We are probably facing a bubble as economic  power is increased by the  completion of the Trans Mountain expansion . The gold weld was done 👍 in a  small ceremony in recent weeks.

Carbon tax revenue available

The increase in available  Fossil energy will be accompanied by revenues that are dedicated similar to road construction in the province. These revenues will come from carbon tax  and fund plans that reduce and mitigate carbon in our atmosphere. Once again, good luck to all those in these endeavors and to those that have to use their brain power to put forward alternatives to what might be successful planning.

Parks are a good place to work for nature’s cure.

September 12th through 14th

Particles may increase

The American national oceans and atmosphere bunch in the United States are calling for a magnetic storm 12th September through 14th. Should give some skyscapes weather permitting in your area.

Viewing and Watching for Magnetic Storms on September 12th-14th
Unfortunately, you cannot directly “view” a magnetic storm. They are invisible to the naked eye and are primarily detected by scientific instruments. However, you can stay informed about their occurrence and potential impacts through various channels:
1. Solar Weather Prediction Sites:
* Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC): This is the official US government source for space weather forecasts and alerts. They provide detailed information about expected solar activity and potential geomagnetic storms.
* Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO): This NASA spacecraft provides real-time images of the Sun, allowing you to see solar flares and other events that can lead to magnetic storms.
2. News Outlets:
* Science and Technology News Websites: Many news outlets, especially those focusing on science and technology, will report on significant solar events and their potential impacts.
* Local News: If a magnetic storm is expected to have a significant impact on your region (e.g., affecting power grids or satellite communications), local news outlets will likely provide updates.
3. Social Media:
* NASA and Space Weather Experts: Follow organizations like NASA, NOAA, and space weather experts on social media for timely updates and information.
Remember: Magnetic storms can affect technology and infrastructure, so it’s always a good idea to be prepared. This might include having a backup power source or knowing your local emergency plans.
Would you like to know more about the potential impacts of magnetic storms or how to prepare for them?

Gentle Tuesday: Yes, I am loved,you?

A shortage of aid…

TGIF-Sooth the mood…

Sooth

A get away from the day and the night.  The joy of the present sublime. Go to the line then do the recline. Make the moment go to your treasured zest, to borrow when sought. To lend when thought, and sold when bought. KDG

We talked to two

Kayakers on the Nicola River this week; “it took eight hours to boat the 25 kilometers from the Dam on Nicola lake to Garcia Street on the Nicola River in Merritt,”.

This solved the mystery of why large flights of wood ducks were being pushed downriver. We watched at least three fights of these creatures before the appearance of two boaters and paddles appeared .

Stars do more than twinkle they produced elements in the furnace of fusion and according to the second law of thermal Dynamics  heat goes to cold chaos to order.

So, as SH says you are  elemental Watson. (Paraphrase). Have fun you Atoms.

Auroras coming in 2024-2025

The Night Sky

Since man first looked up.

The sun is approaching solar maximum and electromagnetic activity is increasing. The activity deep within the Sun is called solar storms or magnetic storms + mass particle injections. Make for wonderful night skyscapes going over the poles and even more for us to see and enjoy.

Thank you universe for your tender care. + Continuous wonder of your being as you communicate life to us here in this privileged planet.

Look up, I already picked up all the coins.

There were 135 participants in the Rodeo weekend parade in Merritt BC, Canada for the 2024 Labour Day weekend. The sense of well-being was fantastic.

Time for 32 hour work week.

A simple change to the employment standards act would change the obligation and  to pay overtime by increasing it 8 hours for those that would continue to work 40 hours per week. This would add more choice and more flexibility in hiring. Increase holding taxes, and make it more of incentive to use mechanisms such as rrsp to bring down taxes and increase savings.

There are other methods of doing it however this is a static solution that can be applied quickly with great effect. This includes hiring workers that are more of an entry level and would be interested in an opportunity for overtime. Without the dynamic of a second job.

Test: Are you at peace?

Weather statistics are indeed valuable for a variety of purposes, such as agriculture, transportation, and planning recreational activities. Understanding and interpreting weather data may seem complex at first, but with the right resources and guidance, a regular person can certainly make sense of the information. There are numerous user-friendly websites and apps that present weather statistics in a clear and understandable manner, allowing individuals to make informed decisions based on the data. Learning the basics of meteorology and familiarizing oneself with common weather metrics can also greatly enhance one’s ability to comprehend and utilize weather statistics effectively.

Saturday SOP, Oil

We hope that the price of oil leaving the country reflects the carbon tax somehow. Export tax this side of the border… ? There needs to be action taken with the revenue to alternatives.

Responsible is what responsible does.

Oil and water don’t mix

Unless it’s fines for non-compliance with permits.

Light show

The particles also reflect back heat.

Did you get some viewing of the electro magnetic storm activity as it sent particles past the earth lately?

Thanks Governments and agencies for the exploration and science that will enable us to come to better understanding and coping with our environment and its levers.

Polar lights are on the ends of the earth and are bent by our magnetic fields.
