The Divine Mr. M

"I'm quite certain that Catastrophic Climate Change will result in the extinction of Baseline Humans [Homo Sapiens Sapiens] aka me and thee over the next century or so, no matter what we do at this point. The Earth's surface is going to become largely uninhabitable for maybe a thousand years, give or take a century.

Our descendants, Homo Transformis [Genetically Modified/Cybernetically Augmented in various ways], will replace us, going both underground and in orbit and beyond. The Rich are already buying their bunkers and peeps like Musk, Bezos and Branson are heavily investing in space travel.

Me, I'm doing my best to enjoy my last decade or two. I have near zero hope that things will substantially improve."

~It is presently 91° and 17% humidity. The entire AV is swathed in smoke from what is being called the Powerhouse Fire. I suspect that is keeping the temp down and the humidity up by creating an air inversion. Meanwhile, the whole fucking neighborhood smells like a gaddam Yule Log.

~It is presently 96° and 15% humidity. It got down to 66° around two this morning, but we stayed sealed up because of the tower of smoke looming over us.

Just FYI that lil burg down on the lower right, Rosamond; that's our 10-20. Fun eh? But the gray area next door is Edwards Air Force Base. It's kind of important - the Space Shuttle used to land there - so I expect the various authorities to do Their Very Best to contain this fucker.
