February 13, 2017, Prescott-
Snow besets the Northeast,
Rain fills the Southwest’s waterways,
Dust retreats, into mud.
The Alt-Right cries foul,
The Prog-Left yells foul words,
Civility retreats, into a cave.
Strength looks like force,
Humility is seen as weakness,
Sensibility retreats, into a whirlwind.
I am listening quietly,
You wince at my expression,
Perception retreats, into personal mythology.

I like this one, Gary — it expresses nicely the uncertainties we are all faced with!

Good to see you back, Janet. I hope the returned moisture is not leading to washouts in the canyons.

Thanks, Gary. We’re mostly buttoned down right now, but another weekend of heavy storms is bearing down on us. The worst local disaster, Laurel Canyon, is 100 miles or so north of here. The disaster right now is Oroville Dam, where the spillways are in trouble! They are reducing the lake level by judicious use of the spillways, and have evacuated 200,000 people! A real disaster if they can’t get this under control — could get all the way to Sacramento, but hopefully they have a solution!

And then some geologists and meteorologists are wondering if we’re not in an immediate time where a polar shift is about to take place- the North and South Poles will switch positions. Yet more polarities.

I’ve read about the possibility of a polar shift. That’d make my planned extended travels, four years from now, all the more adventurous.

People tell themselves stories about me all the time- the Accidental Ulysses, maybe?
