Know of a risk…

Get on your local government to be proactive.

Stay careful

Flooding is a danger that deserves sober conversation. As well as careful action. Dismissing warnings out of hand can lead to trouble, life consuming trouble.

Risk ☔ remains divided but action generally belongs to us all. Error on the side of caution and safety’s reach.

Today June 9th 2022 is coral triangle day. This observance is an international observance by the UN and endeavors to bring attention to the health and wealth of the coral system in the seas around the planet. The element of food security is a fundamental part of the day and the keeping of the environment at its base the ocean is also fundamental.

Today is also known as dark and stormy day. Dark and stormy day takes its name from a rum and a ginger beer and the observations of the pirate at the coloration of the clouds when he was drinking. We hope that he doesn’t have the last word on the disposition of this day and its remedies. And rather would hope for more civil thought going into the observance of our life on this planet, on this day, and forevermore.

Canada data…

We like Stats can, Environment Canada,and others for good data

Facts are facts, opinions you are on your own for.

Weather and Climate not the same.

So so many variables that go in to making our climate, being out of our control make an imperative to be informed and knowledgeable with a repository of data. These are the right forums to do this. As most of us get our information through the media there is a mix of entertainment in the brew. This should be discounted and noted when coming to a position for or against community actions that creep up around events. Good luck as you participate in the economics and community of beings depended on weather as it is puffed in markets and entertainment.

We have compassion and brotherhood, sisterhood, inclusion in your grief, you’re suffering, and your partnership. Also in the joy and laughter of life when we have the Liberty of being at ease in a responsible manner. So once again join us in our humanity as we go forward to the best of our ability without harm or malice.

Stay safe stay warm…

My brain said, said, train, my feet said meet.
The end of it was incomplete.
But the, the, challenge  of place did not remake.
My best defence to for life and retake.

The rest may be all but sure; and then take the cure.
But me I want a sence of goal, and that may be you!
So stay intack untill I come to list your virtue too.
Safe and warm, set an alarm, for a proposal to woo. KDG November 21 2021
spirit come:

We meet again…
