Top 10 Surprising Results of Global Warming

See The 10 Suprising Results of Global Warming as published by Live Science.

Sometime I feel a little giddy because my grouchy "told-ya-so" Global Warming rant looks like it really is for real. In the 70's I read about the possibility of Global Warming on theoretical grounds in Scientific American, and "no" I do not remember which issue. I do recall that nobody wanted to talk about it or listen to me go on about the Earth's foreseeable doom. I believe that statistical tables were presented in that time, too. This is back when I was preaching on environmental and critter issues in general. I soon shied away from talking about Global Warming because others were talking about it enough to satisfy me. It is also too hard to discuss something that you cannot see, like gravity and evolution.

Species-populations in the wild came to be and is my thing since it is easy enough to see what has happened to critical species' habitat World-wide, including - - especially in Southern California where I was raised. I actually played in thousands of acres of wetland when I was between 6 and 10 years old. It is all gone now, of course. It is rare to see butterflies now, and I never see frogs, which were so common. I used to take "pollywogs" home to raise them, and never succeeded. These species are still to be found in rare places on our planet. I'm sure that the beautiful dragonflies are to be found elsewhere, but not in so many places like before - - 50 years ago. Frogs are definitely on the outs as the Sun's ultraviolet light cooks their sensitive mucus-like skin, which has more to do with the planet's Ozone depletion than Global Warming.

Anyway, Global Warming appears to be the real deal and I feel so giddy because I was so right about such a catastrophic, planet shaking hell-on-Earth process. Too bad for the following generations - - I told ya not to make those babies. Now see what you have done!

Perhaps George Bush will read these words and do something useful for the future - - for once.

So it goes.

Endangered Bird Crime Scene

Imagine an endangered species of bird poached from the Amazon and smuggled into a single-wide, new mobile home. I said "new" mobile home. Imagine the evil doer letting these birds roost and nest anywhere that they might throughout this entire home.

Kitchen cabinets, toilet, sinks, bathtub, and walls and floors were trashed by these poopy birds, endangered as they are. They even had a nursery from which I retrieved about twenty, tiny eggs, all white. It's been an interesting cleaning experience.

Crime scenes can go to the birds sometimes; Literally I've learned.

So it goes.

Mind, Self, and Society - George Herbert Mead

Here's another note to myself to write about the mind, self, and society as I was influenced by George Herbert Mead.

I know that few readers, if any readers, will care to read what I hope to write here. It does not matter. I write for my own purposes and I find this type of writing enjoyable and therapeutic. Giving clarity to my thoughts helps me get through the day as I watch the World tumble into mad chaos created by mad men and women armed with technologies that have no place on our planet.

I'm sure George would not greatly disagree with what I write.

HRC - High Risk Cleaning

I'm making a note to myself here to write about high risk cleaning, also known as HRC.

I will write more about HRC later. For now, I need to get the thought down on paper before it eases off into ether space.

I do little HRC, but I have done some. I have not become sick from cleaning HRC, and I hope that I will not become sick.

Anthrax cleaning is HRC, should anyone come across these thoughts. Hanta Virus cleaning is HRC should anyone come across mouse droppings.

More later.

So it goes.

Watch "Curriki" grow!

Curriki came out of Sun Micro and follows the Wikipedia model. It is a nonprofit. The difference is in the content. Curriki is a Wiki for curriculum. Give it time and each subject field will grow and become finely tunned to fit learners everywhere. If you have not seen it, check it out. There's something about free stuff, open source, that gives some hope for the future, damaged as it is.

Spanish sample for little ones.

Setting the Record Straight - Bleach - Sodium hypochlorite

Bleach gets a lot of bad press, especially from those in the business of selling decontamination chemicals.

Well, let me tell you, besides bleaching my pants here-and-there and keeping me in fashion, bleach is a terrific disinfectant. True, it's corrosive, but that's a small price to pay for a rather inexpensive, nearly all-purpose disinfectant.

Just setting the record straight here.

Going into the "field" for extended duty -

I expect to go into the field to clean a rather large and biologically hazardous environment. I expect to be away from my keyboard for weeks.

I'm sure my competitors would love for me to kick-off like a big bug. "What the heck, I'm a bio-man I always tell my wife." Besides, I'm 60 with a teen-mind. I've lived much longer than I have left, so I might as well continue to walk on the "razor's edge." I love it -- feel the adrenaline!

I'm off to that leap-of-faith into nature's man-eating turf.
Cheers!
