July 2021 It seems to me that there has been more rain than any time in memory But that was only in the US Northeast In the Pacific Northwest and western Canada hundreds die from the heat An entire small Canadian town is destroyed from the heat and the “Bootleg Fire” in Northern Oregon covers more space than New York City Covid19 spikes in Mississippi and Missouri after already killing more than half a million in the US Outside the US hundreds in Germany and Belgium are killed by flash floods In this battle of insults when Nature says Fuck You to us it does no good for us to say so’s your mother ... or wanna make something of it? or to send in the Marines we need another answer and soon
