   Fortunately, Michigan is unlikely to see California-style wildfire. We do forest mangement better, and we have weather, topography, and hydrology on our side: we don’t have the kind of winds they do, we are much flatter so we don’t get the channeling and chimney-ing effects they do, and we’re a lot wetter than they are. Climate change is shifting some of those factors unfavorably, but if we keep up the good work on forest management, we should be able to avoid California’s fate.

The forecast callsl for a brief lift into the lower 30’s for three or four hours on the 17th, then back down below freezing for the rest of the month. In other words, southern lower Michigan is going to do a pretty good imitation of this strip!

   People blithering about birthdays that start with 5. Come on. You’ve got 6, 7, 8 maybe even 9 to look forward to. That’s just about the same as the 4, 3, 2, and 1 you’ve already had.

   The point is similarity, not difference.

    I just did a Google Lens search on this image, and while it did come up with the right painting, it’s amazing how many paintings there are out there in this style of guys in black armor, with a vista in the background, and holding something in their left hand.
