Awful that the "new" administration is already influencing the country's politics and funding decisions. In the bill passed today, we lost a program very important to organic farmers: the organic certification cost share program that reimburses them for some of the cost of being certified organic. It also appears more clearly than ever that the incoming White House has a direct connection to neo Nazis in the form of Musk (an incredibly ugly man). So far not hearing you address politics, only the Scotts Valley tornado, in this podcast, but guessing you'll get there soon. And prepare for dismantling of NOAA, which helps us understand the weather and the ocean.

Jon and I were just talking about a way-overdue farmer uprising today, and I didn’t know this bit you just mentioned, Jane. When are you starting a Stack, I always wonder! Yeah, the incoming ugliness aimed at NOAA is no joke.

Yeah, it was an experiment at dipping into a Vibe Pool, and I wondered if I would find anyone else there!

Last summer, in my part of that economic and political wilderness known as Upstate New York, my cell phone sounded that "EAS" warning tone. The screen read, "Tornado warning. Take cover immediately", or words to that effect. Well, bottom line, we did get not one, but two tornadoes last summer. Neither of them ever touched down, thank "Bob". But how many more bullets can we dodge?

If planet Earth were a car, its check-engine light would be lit.
