Are Things Getting Weird, or were they Weird Already

Besides the COVID, we have had three supermoons, a very large meteor shower, several "cold" tornadoes in the area--they are called cold because they were not associated with warm fronts as is seen in the Midwest, a very large earthquake in a remote area about 150 miles away which we felt followed by several smaller aftershocks, steady rain for a week, a lot of wind as well.
Last night, around 00:01 there was a sudden flash in the sky. An exploding meteor. And then, low and behold, at 01:35 I suddenly woke up to something outside. Three minutes later, there was a crash in the back yard. What the hell was that? I looked out and my backyard was completely covered by a large willow tree that fell down from my neighbor's property. The pictures are astounding! Missed one shed, destroyed 1/3 of a fence, crushed a small pine tree, and obliterated another shed.
Next month there will be a lunar and solar eclipse, both of which will be in the Southern Hemisphere.
But I had to ask my wife, what else could go wrong? Maybe a volcano blowing its top? Wife reminded me that happened about 40 years ago.
We do live in interesting times.

No planes in the sky, a weird sky for ages, everyone who was abroad stuck there. My son was in Switzerland and needed to get home for an import university exam. Nail biting times!
For the whole time I was in Fukushima, Azuma Kofuji, about 15km from where I was living, was closed to the public because it was actively erupting.

"Although Napoleon’s army has been beaten by the British, two French naval officers still hold the city of Dublin under their control...[they]...have barricaded themselves inside a big powder keg and are threatening to blow it up as soon as there is any sign of resistance in the city. This in turn would cause the volcano looming underground to erupt and lay everything to ruins."
If it can happen in Dublin, it can happen anywhere.
We ended up hiring a car and driving south: we had to be back in Canada by the next weekend as the service on the Sunday was being attended by the Princess Royal. Apparently she had made contingency plans for getting there involving an aircraft carrier; David wondered if we could have hitched a lift, as without him the service wouldn't have had any music ...
I'd like to see the car in question...
We could see the ash-cloud in the sky as it sort of followed us on our way, and there was a fairly thick layer on the car.
This is how I understand passages like Mark 13 when the disciples are asking about signs of the end. Jesus essentially answers, "Eh, shit's always going to get weird. Be ready, be faithful."
The English numerical value of her full name is 227. If you subtract 5 from 227, one third of 666. Five, of course, is the number of yeears that the city of Nephihah stood before being taken by Ammoron, brother of Amalickiah, the Ammoron, as recorded in the Mormon Annals of Alma (59:5-12) but this is a demonic distraction. The real significance of the number 5 is that it resembles the serpent of Moses, and that the Ten Commandments are divided into two sets of five, and if you have them on the wall of your courts and schools and toilets you will be saved by the Orange Servant of God and his minions angels. And of course "5" represents grace in Hebrew numerology and if you subtract grace you get anti-grace which is BAD.
The figure 1/3, indicates clearly that the evil Kiwi One Third of the AntiChrist ALLIANCE is entering into a satanic pact with Katrín Jakobsdóttir and Zuzana Čaputová (trust me on the alphabetical numerology ... I know these things) to reverse-emulate the Holy Trinity in a satanic trinity of witchcraft which will attempt to build the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem and force all Christians to worship a large yonnic statue, clearly prefigured in the craters of Eyjafjallajökull and Whakaari, whose eruptions were a portent and a warning from God which you have hitherto ignored. While there are no volcanoes in Finland one will suddenly erupt spewing Vikings' remains across one third of the sky as foretold in Revelation 9:18.
Things are getting weird but it was four told and you are been warmed.

Put that on the right website and you could find yourself out earning the self-proclaimed bishop and his minions.
When Yellowstone goes the ash will go east. Oddly, the Pacific Northwest will likely survive it.
I used to live in Southern Idaho. I remember a map that showed the movement of the Yellowstone Caldera from what is now South EasternOregon/ Northwestern Nevada through Southern Idaho to where it is now. Even today, there are still fissures in that area that will become active. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_hotspot
Please tell me this was on purpose.

Here, look at the Zen Cam of the pretty Moon Jellyfish.
See? Pretty!
As I understand it if Yellowstone goes we're all pretty screwed, it's just a matter of choking to death in hours or days vs starvation in months or years.
Exactly. The world needs more Lerts. They’re adorable little creatures and much undervalued in these strange times. I’d willingly adopt one myself, only with two dogs and a cat, our house is getting a tad crowded.
They don’t. However, if you have transport available, we have some a grees over in Heaven in need of a friendly kennelmate.
FWIW, I thought that post from @Zappa was the funniest thing I've read on these boards for some time...
*notworthy*
...and so TRUE...
Are they edible ?
hhmph
(and it's okay, @mousethief - I've taken one of the little purple pills now)
The blue jay is kind of pretty, but I watched it bully a whisky jack, so it's not welcome.
Bullin' the jack, eh?
