Red Rubber Ball

I should have known you’d bid me farewell
There’s a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now I know you’re not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it’s all the same to me
And I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball
You never care for secrets I confide
For you I’m just an ornament, somethin’ for your pride
Always runnin’, never carin’, that’s the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give
And I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball
The story’s in the past with nothin’ to recall
I’ve got my life to live and I don’t need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that’s all I’m gonna spend
And I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball
Oh, oh, oh, I think it’s gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball

Neo- I left this thought and link on American Digest as well. They try to blame it on climate change whereas the real cause is the ignorant, emotionally infantile management of forestry that has held sway as Progressives have assumed the arrogant position that they can control everything – including nature. They put out the small brush fires so long that there is now enough fuel built up to incinerate the trees and the soil itself. This is the perfect metaphor for what is happening to our politics. The whole January 6th inquisition and the destruction of civic order and republican balance of the last year are burning the very soil in which the republic is rooted. There is indeed a red sun rising.
The saddest thing is that even they don’t believe in these absurd and nihilistic ideas they stand behind. They are doing it for personal gain and power- https://thedeeperthought.com/2021/07/24/beware-the-ideology-pimps/

Don’t get me started on Instagram now… I reckon its influence is more pernicious than FaceBook.

Oh, good, an “Instagram filter”.
That is so clarifying.
Have not used it, never will.
What happened to conventional physics, refraction, etc.? We just have to make the dodoes dependent on social media.

The atmosphere scatters blue light about 10 times more than it scatters red. That’s why the sky appears blue. It’s also why the sun appears so red at sunrise and sunset, all the blue light is scattered and the red comes thru.

In the West, sunsets during fire season can be spectacular. As long as the fire is not threatening your home. My first summer in Utah and I am getting smoke from CA, Oregon and ID, as well as some local ones.

With all this going on its a wonder that anyone gives a damn about carbon emissions from our puny machines.

Would have been interesting to view thru a welding helmet. I have viewed a couple of Mercury transits across the sun with my helmet, though the lens is not totaly up to the task as I got a brief bright light blind spot when I looked away.

We had Code Orange air quality alerts here in central NC for several days last week, because of haze from the western wildfires. We went out to do yard work and came in coughing, sneezing, and fighting headaches.
