\u201cWhat\u2019s that noise\u2026deep,gutteral\u2026mechanical?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cAIR RAID Warning.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhy a warning?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWeatherman says to expect possible tornado \u2026 large hailstones.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat are we supposed to do?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThe radio says  to seek shelter if sky looks dangerous\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cSo, a good time to take pictures\u2026”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cI read  that we  are experiencing more dangerous storms as a  result of climate change.”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat can  we  do?   Can our changing  climate be  controlled?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cWhen I  was  a  kid I thought our world\u2026or earth\u2026was so immense it was  beyond comprehension.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cToday , Oct. 23, 2020, the earth seems such  a  small place.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cEvery time I  see a tree I say a thank  you.   Trees  breath in carbon dioxide, extract the carbon, and breath out<\/div>\n
oxygen.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cHuman beings and all the living and creating creates of this earth only appeared  on earth when the<\/div>\n
atmosphere began to contain oxygen.”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cDid you know that three quarters of the earth is covered with water.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cIn  other words the land  upon which we depend is very limited\u2026”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cJust driving up the fifth line four or five times a week reminds  me of the shaky balance that is the background  of our lives.”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cDo you know what I fail to comprehend no matter how many times it is explained?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cNo, what?\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThe atmosphere.  How come our earth has captured this thin envelope of air?\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cI was reading that Mars once had an atmosphere but it drifted off into space.   How is it<\/div>\n
that the earth keeps the air?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cCome to think of it,  these angry looking clouds are quite wonderful.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThey carry water.   Where there is water there will be life.”<\/div>\n
