Hahaha the libstream is addicted to cheap tragedian stories recycled throughout time. They never improved on the Greek, they just imported the drama. Climate change is none other than the oil magnates taking the part of Xerxes in the minds of the libstream. But then, at the Oscars, the same fools cheer in favor of an Iranian national putting on a false humanitarian show for Arab countries. Come to think of it, that is a tragic comedy after all.

Thanks for the websites, the flowers are lovely. I had to laugh at the ones which spread outside their area. We have Buterweed in Ohio, which jumped out f the woods behind us and into our yard and the one next door. Masses of yellow flowers, but we are told, noxious to livestock. Guess that is why the farmer sprays for them. Siberian awuill looks like a better plant, and may the the answer to some of our more difficult areas. We have good dirt, rotten dirt, hills, creek, some places too wooded for grass - I am sure it would thrive in some of it, grass doesn't.

Here is a good site for pictures of the plant.

If you want it, be sure that you do not mow after the short term flowers finish and the fruit berries on the little stalks still hang or you will transfer them to other parts of the lawn. Once it starts establishing, it is nearly impossible to get rid of, besides digging the bulbs, herbicides like Weedbegone(?) do not work.

seemed to think that one needs to use Roundup for several applications which will leave nothing and cause a lot of restoration work.
So be careful with the plant.
I accidentally got it mowing a lawn a mile from here where it was growing under a tree on a hill side where grass would not grow. Was pretty in part of my back yard for several years before I started mowing it after the flowers left. Last 3 years has spread to patch in whole yard by the mower.

I imagine Big Brother control freaks are licking their chops for all the regulatory opportunities that will be provided by needful citizens coping with a Little Ice Age.

I can think of some pompous libs I'd like to tie up, gag and force to watch that video over and over again.

Thanks for the new ground cover idea, I will check it out. We have about three ground covers in various beds, but have not seen Siberian quill. We have buds here in Ohio, and roses read to bloom, but frost coming here too. We know it gets crazy before Mothers' Day, but this is wose than usual this year. A neighbor was mowing yesterday afternoon in a winter coat and winter cap with ear covers! The wind was over 40 mph also.

Unfortunately, the citizens have to alter their lives, over disruptions and changes to weather which were due to government meddling with nature. When will the environmental nuts wake up to hat fact!

I have been saying things about the GSM for a couple of years now but the hype of Global Climate change is ridiculous and GSM does not fit their mantra. Gore built it and the media hyped it, so it is fact in their minds. If you want info on the Grand Solar Minimum, check out Adapt2030 on You Tube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3yvU....

Yes. I learned that when I bought this book in a drug store during the 70s~

Later scientists pretty much agreed that theropod predator dinos walked like teeter-totters unlike that illustration and but like what you saw in Jurassic Park.

Weren't some of you guys warm blooded and large enough to hold in a lot of body heat?

For a nice semi-invasive early spring plant with pretty blue flowers which spreads easily by bulbs and lawn mowers and is very difficult to defeat, try Siberian squill which will help cut down on lawn mowing labor by not allowing grass to grow.
Looks like frost tonight here in southern Wisconsin, but nothing out of the ordinary since one is not supposed to plant flowers before Memorial day here near Geneva Lake.

When it's no longer called "global warming" but "climate change" instead, whatever the heck the weather does can be blamed on mankind no matter what happens.

Meet some Antarctic allosaurs! The continent may not be in the same place, but it wasn't far from where it is now.

With the government pumping crushed clay and ice pellets into the atmosphere to block sun rays to "cure" global warming, they are going to have an ice age! We should be having blooming flowers blooming in the Midwest, but we are having a week with highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s, frost predicted even. Now I have to go back to looking for plants that will withstand -20-30 degree winters.

Back in the seventies there was a plausible explanation for why the climate was cooling, there were major climate cycles and in them minor ones and that at one point they were headed downward, reasonable? Yes! A new ice age was on the way! Then came the idea of polution keeping the suns rays out and opening a hole in the ionosphere allowing heat to escape, again reasonable? Yes! All data collected since accurate weather and climate records had been kept, approximately 100 to 150 years seemed to show this. A reasonable assumption.
The tables turned and the exact same data was used to prove the climate was warming. Wait! We just proved it was cooling. What the heck! The polution that kept the heat out along with cow flatulence was now holding it in by forming greenhouse gasses. I thought greenhouses were good because they helped plants grow, I was skeptical. Then came the computer which was programmed to give the desired results no matter the information fed it, Al Gore selling indulgences for the sin of carbon footprints, his are bigfoot's, and it now was settled science except for the independent scientists not associated with government regulatory agencies or institutions of higher learning (a misnomer) receiving grants as evidenced by the leaked E-mails.
I commend Antarctica for bucking the trend! Over the last few years I have read stories of small tourist cruise vessels being caught in ice that was not supposed to be where it was encountered.
Hollywood jumped into it by making a movie about global warming where New York City froze over?
There was a major snow storm on the day of a climate change conference!
They called it climate 'change' after neither prediction came true. Face it, the climate has changed for millions of years, here in Pennsylvania we find fossils of tropical plants that no longer grow in the tropics. Climate warmers should be given a trip to the beaches of Antarctica, beach towels, sunscreen and umbrellas, warm piña coladas, all will be provided!

Today I skimmed through The Creeping Terror on YouTube. Has to be much worse. It has a crappier soundtrack too.

Mucho grassyass.

Plan 9 From Outer Space is a better movie than "The Creeping Terror". I've seen them both. Neither is an experience I would like to repeat.

Rush Limbaugh got a big kick out of reporting that story a few years ago.

I missed that bit of news.

Remember the chartered freighter that steamed toward Antarctica to measure "thinning" ice? That freighter got stuck in the ice itself. And an icebreaker ship also got stuck in the ice!

+1 That one is going to be a laugh a minute.

Here's a very recent movie that makes fun of those cheap so-called scary flicks of the 50s~
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30YlC...
I also gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

I as well liked that one Ed Woods was a quirky dude. The other Depp movies that I have seen
Are the 1st Pirates of the Caribean and Donnie Brasco, Gilbert Grape and Bennie and Joon
Pirates was not good enough to watch the others IMHO. The others were very good. I just remembered another one ,where he was a writer
Who was living in a cabin and had some horror drama directed at him. From those movies I would say he was an excellent actor. His personal life is probably a real struggle like many stars the reality
of the real world is lost in all the entitlement, adoration. Money for nothing ,chicks.....

Edit to add the movie was
Secret Window.
Mort Rainey is a author struggling from writer's block and his wife's upcoming divorce, he heads to his remote cabin in upstate New York for solitude until John Shooter, a farmer from Mississippi accuses Mort of plagiarizing his story. Mort does his best to dismiss the claims, until Mort learns how dangerously far John Shooter will go in his journey for retribution.

Ed Wood the movie about Plan 9's writer/director starring Johnny Depp was pretty good. On Netflix I gave it 4 out of 5 stars for "I liked it a lot."
