the weather

Let's take a look at the weather around the world, for the first week of January, shall we?

Two tornadoes hit southern Brazil. This is a rare event.

Clusters of icebergs have been spotted off the coast of New Zealand for the first time since 1948.

The United Arab Emirates got snow for the first time ever.

You've all seen what's going on in California. Rain, snow, mudslides, all that.

So what's going on? Is this a vengeful god? Is this a god showing signs that he's ready to bring the faithful home? Is this a bunch of humans who've fucked up their planet? On purpose?

'off the coast' = a couple of hundred kms south of some of NZ's (uninhabited) sub-antarctic islands, i.e. about a 1000km south of the south of mainland NZ (or over 2500km south of the north of mainland NZ...)

A guy I used to work with swears that these are the signs that the earth is about to "tip over" and reverse poles.. and we are all going to die unless we go to some ancient temple in the south american jungle.

I don't take him seriously, but he believes it.

And the thing is, I'm betting that all of this is just a prelude.  6-6-6 is getting closer all the time, doncha know.

or perhaps, things just happen?

teenagers.
it's their fault ;)
do you think i cared
about the ozone layer
as i hairprayed my "wings"
in 1989? and i CARE, i do,
but we are thoughtless,
selfish animals.

seriously, this planet
has gone thru all sorts of things
we don't even know about,
and i will allow that some of it
would have occurred anyway,
but, yeah, we have fucked up the planet
and continue to do so.
and if there is a god who put us in charge,
he blames us too.

It's all my fault. I was born.
