Global Warming...

The small town of Lytton, Canada, has just recorded it’s highest ever temperature of 49.6 degrees Celsius (121.3 degrees Fahrenheit ) that’s unprecedented. A heat wave that has killed hundreds of people and triggered over 240 forest fires across British Columbia.

This small town of just 250 people, situated in the mountains, where the average June maximum temperature usually sits around 25c degrees. This year was far, far, different where night time is hotter than during the day and air conditioning is not the usual fixture.
 
Much of the town has been destroyed and many have had to leave their once small quiet town. And as the jet stream configuration changes the pressure becomes stuck for weeks at a time; as is happening in the northern hemisphere. Is this the future? Is this what will happen if we refuse to do nothing about the climate changing...as it surely is! Could this be the new normal....I certainly hope not for all the future generations to come.
 
We have been warned that weather extremes will be more predominant but many ignore the fact and seem to “bury their heads in the sand” and ignore the fact saying ...well it’s happened in the past so it will happen again. But...but it is happening much faster now than in the past and will soon reach the point of no return; if it already hasn't that is.
 
In June this year Moscow reached 34.8 centigrade. In the Artic Circle as temperatures rose into the 30’s..Siberia recorded 38 centigrade in June also.

 In Iraq after temperatures passed 50 c it was far too hot to work as electricity failed and any air conditioners couldn’t cool homes and work places.

Around the world is no different we, in Australia, had horrendous bush fires last summer and Sydney recorded it’s highest ever temperature of 48.9 c in January. Crazy and still people say Climate Change...nothing to see here folks.
 
It has to be time to re-think the way we are doing things as weather systems become more intense.
 
When will we learn that records are not just being broken slightly they are being king hit.
 
Fossil fuels..coal, gas, and  oil that were once the answer for everything and helped us out of the “dark ages” maybe now it’s time for a re-think. Surely it HAS to be!
 
Climate Change...Nothing to see here folks 😣

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think.

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess

On a lighter note...

 Do you talk to your pet? Of course you do, everyone does, although some would not admit to it 😃 "How did you sleep?...have any dreams?" I ask as I uncover my parrot...YES parrot!! I know..I know..but we all do it 😏 "Just going out now...see you soon", as I leave the apartment, I call to a bewildered looking bird alone in her cage..sorry house...don't like the term cage...think I have mentioned that before. On return "Hello love👋👋," and met with screams of welcome home or in bird language it could just  mean ...LET ME OUT.....LET ME OUT you idiot leaving me alone...what are you thinking...expletive..expletive!!  Which of course I obey and once the welcome scratches and more talking has taken place, she takes up residence on the bed...or the lounge...or the drawer, whichever is the preference that moment. It changes constantly and I obey every command.  Well trained...me.. not the bird! Pets...what would life be without them. I know they are sometim
