Consequences

We have had very good rains this season so far - second only to the rains we had 12 years ago. Of course, when it rains, the grass grows and needs to be mowed. Sometimes it rains so much and the grass grows so fast, that we cannot get round to mowing it fast enough. Here is Ned - trying to deal with one week's growth in November.
We have experienced the 11-12 year sunspot cycle affecting the rainfall - drought - rainfall cycle in our neck of the woods. Why is it that the 'powers that be' refuse to include the sunspot cycle in their reckoning of what is currently happening on our planet? It is not just human reckless activity that is the cause of the ice-melts - the issue is far more complex than that. But I suppose if one wants to make political and economic capital, one does what one can to push one side of a question and so create a power niche for oneself. Ah, the human condition. Thank God for redemption and continuing transformation towards a perfect universe.
