Made Me Laugh!

 

I once was asked why I like this President. It took for the US to elect Trump to realize why. It is very nice to have a president who can articulate his thoughts and inspire people.

Earth on Track to Warm above 2 Degrees Celsius

 Earth’s on track to warm above 2 degrees Celsius and global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are “nowhere near the scale” needed, according to a new report from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Under the current, combined climate pledges from the 193 Parties under the Paris Agreement, global temperatures are on track to rise to 2.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial averages by the end of the century – a full degree higher than the goal set out in the climate pact, which aimed to limit warming by 1.5 degrees Celsius. The U.N. said that while countries are “bending the curve of global greenhouse gas emissions downward,” the efforts “remain insufficient” and “to keep this goal alive, national governments need to strengthen their climate action plans now and implement them in the next eight years.” (NBC News / New York Times / Bloomberg / CNBC)

Roe V Wade Struck Down by Supreme Court

On Friday, June 24 the US Supreme Court reversed its 50-year-old decision on Roe.  

RA Diagnose

 I recently had blood work done and have been diagnosed with RA Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am not excited about this but it does explain the progression of joint discomfort I have been experiencing this past school year. 2021-2022. I have gone from being able to somewhat still compete against students in basketball (October) to barely being able to walk out to the farm by June.

This school year my knees and hips have begun hurting along with joint pain in my hand. I developed Hemroids, a skin rash behind my ears, and pink eye. All the while still under some COVID protocol. 

I have noticed a decline in my movement, let me explain. I have a friend, Terry who is preparing to hike Mt. Whitney. I have volunteered my services in helping him train for the event. We have been hiking local trails. Most recently we have been hiking Ice House Canyon Trail. The trail is pretty challenging 2,700 vertical feet over 3.7 miles. I have been hiking with this person my whole life and have usually been in better condition and would lead the way. However, this time around I am bringing up the rear. My knees and hip hurt on the uphill climb and keep me from trusting my balance on the downward portion of the hike.
