Mother Earth's Bar Tricks




Cloud streets are rows of cumulus clouds aligned by low lying streams of wind. This example was filmed and photographed over Sea of Okhotsk in Summer of 2007.



And of course video evidence.



This Google Image Search shows more varied examples. Neat how such things happen. Maybe God was combing his Mother Earth's hair? Woaaaah.. Why don't God fearing and God praising people, or the God makers, start looking after the only planet we've got? As with the rest of us! I tend to think, and maybe act in selfish ways of convenience. But that's why Earth Day and events like Earth Hour are there to help remind us of our duty to respect our planet.


A BIT OF OBSERVATIONAL FYI: Calgary has recently begun implementing a blue-box recycling program. Everyone who's received their blue box is excited. Single-stream bins that eventually get processed into recyclable materials. Being true innovators, most communities in Ontario have had the program for up to 20 years! Good to see it happen here, however. I'm sure the drive to the community depots with week/month old recyclables was pleasant.

PS. It's very exciting for Earth week to be starting off on 4-20-09! :)

it irks me that blue box recycling is not free. The fact of the $8 monthly fee and the issue of those huge wheeled bins make it un-popular with those it is advertised too and paid for by.

I think the smaller bins would have been a wiser choice, because they fit everywhere.

My last job I was at the owner was so mad that the city was competing for his drivers at union pay, well goddamn.

I personally haven't seen any around my building. Time to look.
