It occurs to me that Gaia is trying to tell us something.



Since the pandemic started atmospheric pollution in major cities has dropped to historic lows, the water in the Venice canals has become so clear the fish can be seen and some animals are moving back into cities taking over parks.

Earth to humanity, "I am gonna' be just fine without ya', maybe even better off. If ya' clean up your act I just might let you keep riding around the cosmos on me. Up to you, I'll be fine either way."

supported the people who need to get it through their heads. That would include every single member of fox news and rush lumbaugh/rightwing radio.

I've been enjoying the quiet since the COVID shutdown.
