Good evening! Supper is finished and the homemade "Granny Burgers", satisfied our hunger for juicy, thick hamburgers served with creamy sweet coleslaw, mustard flavored deviled-egg potato salad and Boston baked beans hot from the oven. I served our cold beverages of Lipton brewed black pekoe tea poured over ice and served in tall, chilled turquoise tea glasses with wedges of sliced lemon. Grandpoppy and I, both left the table, full as a wood tick!
After consuming our sumptuous, but modern, 2 course meal of meat and complimentary vegetable dishes, we retired to the small knotty-pine paneled parlour. Patiently waiting through multiple tv advertisements, we were eventually rewarded with our favorite evening news program, returned to the screen. Today's news from the gulf coast could be described as discouraging at best and the latest international news from North Korea, could best be described as disturbing.
Like Al Gore and so many other environmental activists have proclaimed, warning humanity, that we are living in a time, when we are standing at the crossroads of history... it daily becomes even more consciously and pragmatically real.
We are living in a time of manifest science, when humans must unite our efforts to save our planet and ourselves, from the effects of man-made destruction. Time is short, before the destruction becomes irreversible and there is no recovery or salvation possible. Global warming is no longer a weird tree-hugger conversation of scientific theory, but an indisputable scientific fact. Are we going to choose to save our planet and ourselves? How do we do that?
Excerpt from the Washington Post Article:
Harvey should be the turning point in fighting climate change
And whenever it’s over, Houston should use Harvey to jump-start its transition from the country’s epicenter for oil and gas to a world capital of alternative energies. If the city can turn this devastating tragedy into an existential moment of reinvention after the storm, then a decade from now we may argue that it was worth it.
"Good Night!" and "Sweet Dreams!"
"Boner Appertite!"
