In my biblical research days I discovered something interesting about the above visualized event; only 1 person was alleged to have "witnessed" Jesus leaving his tomb. Can you guess who it was? Mary Magdaline....his alleged wife. But because she was a woman she wasn't allowed to write it in any scriptures. It was John, who, decades later, after having spoken with Mary, wrote down her account. Sexism was alive and well back then; still is strong in the "church" today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Magdalene

So I've tried again to make a video.

Robecology comments on Apr 16, 2020:

What I've heard is that building and placing alternative energy materials and facilities is creating a lot of jobs. Now - to be fair - when we do transition effectively to wind gen and solar power - when the manufacturing of these devices winds down...there will be a thinning back of the crew... -but that's partially the point. We shouldn't have to employ massive numbers to obtain energy; and our population growth rate is slowing as well. So fewer folk will run more efficient power sources. Hopefully by mid-century there will be a significantly increased number of easier and cheaper to operate cars, power plants and energy producers...and a slowing down...perhaps even a leveling off...of human popuation. All facilities and vehicles will need maintenance. But we are, wisely, also slowing down our population growth. Perhaps some day we will level off - achieve ZPG.....and then perhaps, even decline. If we dont slow down our growth; mother nature will do it for us. Allow me to throw in a nice reference; China is years ahead of the west in Renewable energy; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_China

Interesting. I thought Miami-Dade had a program of getting rid of the incredibly fast growing (and poorly adapted to hurricanes) Australian Pines? According to the article; "In 1965, a group of civic leaders failed to persuade the city commission to uproot every last one of the death-defying pines. In 2001, preservationists hoped to preempt any future attempts by having Pine Tree Drive designated a historic roadway. For a while, it worked. However, in recent years, city officials have been forced to consider the risk the old trees pose to pedestrians and motorists. Following Hurricane Irma in 2017, which knocked over two pines, arborists contracted by the city concluded that nearly all of the Australian pines would require pruning." https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-beach-will-prune-pines-on-historic-pine-tree-drive-starting-late-june-11194825

Population Density - a critical part of disease transmission. And a lot of other issues. It's been proven; When Dr. John B. Calhoun kept dozens of cages of rats with moveable walls....so he could change the density while keeping them clean, and well fed....discovered that the more crowded together they were...the -more aggressive -more hostile -more hoarding/greedy -more likely to transmit infections/diseases -more abnormal (male-male/female/female sexual behaviors) -grouping/ganging-up and; -less normal sex -less child concern/care -less concern about raising chlidren Many of the overcrowded populations crashed....wouldn't even recover when the numbers got small (due mostly to diseases) Sound familiar?

I used to agree; I can't any more (that "Sanders followers should be angry"). I've donated hundreds. Bought pins, banners, bobble-heads and bumper stickers. I've posted tons of articles on FB, and here, trying to promote Bernie for president (see the memes. below). Having said that; I concede.... Bernie will not make it to the presidency this time; and this seems like his last shot. But that doesn't mean he's done. Remember; if the mood of the nation remains strongly anti-Trump/pro health care for all...Bernie will pass that torch to Joe, A.O.C. and others. And remember this; if our Senate becomes "Democratic" then guess who will be the new Senate Majority Leader? Yep...Bernie Sanders. Bernie's not done, yet.

Now I will have to go get me some shrimp! This looks fabulous! Traditionally, ceviche was made with either fish or shellfish that was "cooked" by marinating in an acidic liquid (like lime juice), mixed with chopped fresh vegetables and herbs, and served with a starch like potatoes or yams. The citric acid in the lime breaks down the proteins in the shrimp and prepares the meat for consumption, turning the flesh an opaque pink and destroying harmful bacteria. https://www.southernliving.com/seafood/shrimp/raw-shrimp-ceviche

This "new normal" as you called it is probably going to do humanity good. We'll live - as a species - a little longer if only because we're not sharing diseases as well. There's been reports of lower pollution levels, less social intimacy development...which could lead to our slowing of our out-of-control growth rate.

We have to empathize with the Trump supporter. They're just like him...quick to label and call names (democRATS"). Sexist. Racist. Tax cheats. Business cheats. Every person I know who's a Trump supporter has most of these traits - -and they're nearly impossible to debate. They've made up their minds. They're akin to #religulous about him...they want a loud, aggressive, ignorant bully as POTUS. They want to suppress the poor and the foreigners. They want to force people to avoid abortions and not do well with family planning...because that's what they've done. So it comes down to this; either ignore them; or reason with the guy/gal "on the fence" about him. Then work to "get out the vote".

Happy Friday! How would you describe your sense of smell?

Robecology comments on Apr 10, 2020:

I've been resorting to nasal spray - I know it's "addictive" but I need the ability - not so much to smell, as to breathe at night. If I don't use it I wind up with an awfully dry mouth.

Why don't they 'get it'??

With all the growth of internet and portable phones, you'd think that knowledge and science were also growing. They are, but not nearly as fast. It's called "tradition". It's called "indoctrination". It's called "brain-washing" - it's the reason there's our group - the Agnostics. I just got a handwritten letter from a Jehovah Witness. They are so hard-up because they can't go door to door, that now they're sending mail. The religious are #Religulous. Watch the Movie and maybe you'll "get it".... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdkyLrDpaUg

I think this is the follow-up video interview with Bernie; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an_8D9ZXAT4

I just read this statement and it made me think, Agnostic.

Hopefully the administrators are reading this and coming up with an answer.

If you like me have lots of old seed packets this might be helpful.[amateurgardening.com]

This is a great science experiment for any of your kids stuck at home. Lay out 10 (or multiples of 10) evenly distant on a wet towel surface Keep it wet. Moisten with purified water, if possible, to eliminate variables. Take pictures of each set once one has germinated. Be consistent with your watering time, amounts, and time of day the pic is taken (the goal...eliminate variables). Remember; a control would be fresh seeds, or seed types that create 100% germination. (that's why the sets of 10...to keep it mathematically simple). Print out the pics...make graphs...Easy, valid science experiment; most elementary and/or Jr. Hi science competitions would welcome a well done, clearly illustrated experiment like this. Don't take on too many seed types/ages; remember the KISS rule (Keep it Short and Simple).

It’s funny.

This reminds me of the profound changes we felt after 9/11. Tighter security everywhere. Paranoia penetrating deeply. This will have strong affect on 'intimacy". Everyone - or at least most who are concerned/aware - are working to be cleaner, more sanitary, more germ and contagion conscious. Many of us are working harder on "fitness"...this might have an effect of a slowing of the population growth, a slowing of the growth of pollution.

Is it "arrogant" if somebody believed that they'd be save at the proverbial RAPTURE ????

If it's arrogance, it's an arrogance borne of delusion. And, if it doesn't hurt me....I'm not offended. But when you start pushing religion on me with your arrogance; then I will fight back, fiercely. We're agnostic. We're scientists. We faced no Santa around 4 or 5. No Easter bunny. No tooth fairy. I feel sad and sorry tor the delusional arrogant #religulous of the world who just don't get it. Richard Dawkins has summed it up nicely for me;
