Juniors Last Weekend

The weather was lookin' iffy driving down - it's 23 miles from home.


But sunshine prevailed and the non-sparking lawnmowers were out to greet me.


Turnout was pretty good, 32 kids and a fair number of parents watching and some Moms also shooting.


The kids get and practice the concept of eye-dominance, some pay more attention than others.


Others have been here before and are "regulars" like these girls.


Targets are fifty feet away.


They do well and have fun!


One day of silver lining then the rain came back.
One day to preserve the past for the future.

Mushrooms And Lillys

We got in a few sunny days before the gray fog and rains descended then another burst of sun and heat, enough for tiny flowers to emerge into warm sunlight.


A lot of other stuff has been popping up around the pines and redwoods too.


And so it was at other locations...


No grilling tonight!

IPCC’s Dr. Murari Lal asserted that so-called "global warming" would melt Himalayan glaciers by 2035, first drowning Asians in flash floods, and then dehydrating them beside desiccated rivers. Dr. Lal’s source for this apocalyptic vision was a non-scientific, 2005 World Wildlife Fund report, one of 16 non-peer-reviewed WWF papers that IPCC considered "evidence." WWF, in turn, recycled two 1999 magazine interviews with glaciologist Syed Hasnain.

Former U.S. senator Timothy Wirth (D., Colo.) confessed to rigging a June 1988 Capitol Hill hearing to make it appear warmer than usual. "We called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer," Wirth said on an April 2007 edition of PBS’s Frontline. "So we scheduled the hearing that day, and bingo, it was the hottest day on record in Washington, or close to it."

Wirth then committed outright deception. "We went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right, so that the air conditioning wasn’t working inside the room," Wirth told correspondent Deborah Amos. At the next day’s hearing, "it was really hot," Wirth explained. TV coverage showed a top NASA scientist and “warming” proponent sweating through his statement...
