I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Detroit's Natural Fire Disaster

Part of the reason these fires are so bad is because the city is being reclaimed by nature. It's just that simple.

When I saw this today I immediately remembered a video posted here in what turns out to be almost two years ago. Have always remembered and this video is still active. Yes Detroit in places has been taken over by nature and with the economy that made this what it is in the two years since this video was made the undergrowth has increased that much more for sure as there certainly is no money to keep it under control. Watch this and you'll understand.

From an article about the fires that were many places around the city.

  1. Boy, those are people taking their country back, one seed at a time. Kudo's to them.

  2. I read in a couple of the news articles on the fires that some had involved abandoned houses. There are at least a couple of trends that are creating such places - Detroit's loss of industry, which means jobs are moving elsewhere, and the more general problem of home foreclosures and mortgage defaults.

    It hasn't helped that Detroit, like many U.S. cities, has had to cut back on services lately.

    I look at this as a sort of microcosmic view of what's going on in the rest of the country that isn't Washington, DC.

  3. This has been ongoing but damn straight this is starting elsewhere as well. Can't be much else when there's no money.

    I assume Obama won't get shit with his new proposals today so the chances are probably pretty good the spiral downward will continue.

    It may be someday there will be much less texting because the kids have no choice but to work in the garden.

    Where is it more humid and warmer longer-the NW,Detroit or the NE?

  5. Detroit's proximity o Lake St. Clair (and Lake Erie to the south) probably means that the frost comes there a little later than most other places.
