Well fellow human beings, it's another weekend and that means another WRUP. Weather has been beautiful here in CA the last few days, though as of yesterday the smoke is making its way back into the stagnant, sky choking form it's been taking for the last couple of months. That happens though when land management is bad and there's a drought and within the last few years there's been a mass die off of trees and oh human influenced climate change is in fact a real thing that lies atop the natural cycle of Earth's already fragile climate and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is almost two hundred percent of it's safe levels. Do you guys know that even though CA is actually a leader in clean energy and efforts to combat climate change that we also have on a regular basis the worst air quality in the nation? Mega fires, man... geez. Locally we've been pretty lucky not to have a huge fire in our back yard like the past maybe six years. At least there's that, I guess. You'll hear people, tourists and the sort, around here asking why anyone would live here with the fires and the constant threat of earthquakes. But if you think about it everywhere has it's issues. I mean yeah we've got these ever worsening fires, a drought that won't go away, and I feel earthquakes actually almost weekly because Mammoth Mountain (an active volcano) isn't actually too far from where I live, but what's the east coast got? Hurricanes, flooding, power shortages. How about the central US? Tornadoes, fires, ice storms, lightning, floods... The lists can go on and on. I guess it's just what you're willing to put up with. Or at the very least what you'd consider normal living conditions if you've been in it your whole life. Anyway I'm getting way off topic and rambling on here, let's talk about some more WRUP related items shall we? Happy weekend everyone. Read more
