Working for Rain on the Edges of Thunderstorms

July 24, 2024

There has been a chance of thunderstorms the past couple of days, but they have been in other places. The monsoon is expanding and more of Southern California is included. The Sierras are getting regular afternoon monsoon storms and the eastern deserts are also getting sporadic heavy thunderstorms.

We are working on amping up the OR from here with our medicine wheels and chembuster. We are pretty far west, but the systems are strengthening, and we also have some gifting plans for a few places in Southern California that have not received the treatment. They are more obscure roads, but sure to have some ungifted towers and could really help bridge the gap between the major cities that we've gifted, in this case LA, San Diego, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.

The Four Corners States are off the hook with rain this week. All these places are heavily gifted to assist the monsoon. Wildfire season is non-existent there, and even here in California, acres burned are only at 286,925.

To the west this evening, it looked like there was fire smoke, but the only fire in that direction was the Apache Fire, which started yesterday. having burned a reported 1500 acres by this evening. It's strange that we only first saw smoke tonight. What we were seeing could also be DOR, and after sunset, one lone trail could be seen in the patch.

Earl Gardner, last to hang in Arizona.

Arizona, long a part of the old and wild West, has a somewhat chequered history for both law-breaking and law-enforcement. Home to Tombstone, the OK Corral, Bisbee, Prescott and a few other Wild West landmarks, it immeditely conjures images of rattlesnakes, arid deserts, epic shoot-outs and outlaws twisting at the end of a rope. Earl Gardner was no Old West outlaw, but he was the last oportunity…

Petrified Wood Sphere Auricarioxylon arizonicum Upper Triassic – 220 million years old Chinle formation, Apache County, Arizona, USA

Finely polished, measuring 8 inches in diameter.

Petrified wood from the famed Chinle Formation near Winslow, Arizona is sometimes referred to as "rainbow wood” due to the large variety of colors which are all naturally produced over time by mineral replacement on a cellular level. Different minerals which seep into the fossilizing wood produce different colors.

In this wondrous example the riot of colors present include orange, yellow, and cream with splashes of blue/grey. Also noteworthy are the well-defined original growth rings, which are a testament to the outstanding preservation.

Petrified Forest National Park is an American national park located in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. Named for its large deposits of petrified wood, the park covers about 346 square miles (900 km2), and includes semi-desert shrub-steppe as well as highly eroded and colorful badlands. The park's headquarters is located about 26 miles (42 km) east of Holbrook along Interstate 40 (I-40), which parallels the South Transcon Line. The site, the northern portion of which extends into the Painted Desert, was declared a national monument in 1906 and a national park in 1962. The park has an average elevation of about 5,400 feet (1,600 m), and has a dry, windy climate with temperatures ranging from In the summer it is about 100°F (38°C) to winter lows well below freezing. The park has more than 400 species of plants, dominated by grasses such as punchweed, blue grama, and sacaton. Animals include larger animals such as pronghorn, coyotes, and lynx; many small animals, such as deer, mice, snakes, lizards and seven species of amphibians; And more than 200 species of birds, some of which are permanent residents and many of which are migratory. About one-third of the park is designated wilderness—50,260 acres (79 sq mi; 203 km2)—

The Petrified Forest is famous for its fossils, especially deciduous trees that lived in the Late Triassic, about 225 million years ago. The deposits containing the fossil trunks are part of the colorful and widespread Chinle Formation, from which the Painted Desert gets its name. Beginning about 60 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau, of which the park is a part, was pushed upward by tectonic forces and subjected to further erosion. All of the park's rock layers above the Chinle River, except for younger geological strata in parts of the park, have been removed by wind and water. In addition to fossilized tree trunks, fossils found in the park included Late Triassic ferns, cycads, ginkgos, and many other plants as well as animals including giant reptiles called phytosaurs, large amphibians, and early dinosaurs. Paleontologists have discovered and studied the park's fossils since the early 1900s.

OPEN BORDER: Why are Arizona Democrats fighting in federal court to be permitted to leave illegal aliens and non-citizens on voter rolls? Can there be any other reason than fraud?

Today, America First Legal filed an amended lawsuit against all 15 counties in Arizona—Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, La Paz, Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Yavapai, and Yuma—for failing to remove foreign citizens from their voter rolls.

Back on July 16, AFL sent letters to election officials in each county, reminding them of their legal obligation to ensure that only American citizens are allowed to vote.

They warned that failure to act would result in legal action, and today, AFL is holding them accountable. In August, AFL initially sued Maricopa County on behalf of EZAZ and Yvonne Cahill, a naturalized citizen and registered voter, for blatantly refusing to follow state laws requiring monthly voter list maintenance to remove foreign citizens. In a typical move, Maricopa County tried to shift the case to federal court, delaying the process.

But their efforts backfired—federal court rules allow AFL to sue all 15 counties at once, ensuring no county can avoid its responsibility.

Now that the case is in federal court, AFL has added the remaining 14 counties to ensure that every county in Arizona is forced to comply with the law.

Their work is essential in preventing illegal voting and securing the integrity of our elections, and I fully support their efforts.

Remaining buildings in the 2020s are Sal Sagev Hotel (Golden Gate), Apache Hotel (Binion's Gambling Hall), the Boggs bldg. (319 Fremont) and the former El Portal Theatre (310 Fremont). The last private residence on Fremont was the Coughlin house, demolished in '60. The Beckley house was relocated to Clark County Museum in the 80s.

The photo from Clark County Museum is dated by Christmas decorations on the street and the sign for Western Casino (opened summer '41, closed in '42) on the ground floor of Apache Hotel.

1. Rescue Dog Who Helped Raise Dozens of Foster Puppies Finds Forever Home

“Three and a half years ago, Noel arrived at Lucky Dog as a pregnant pooch pulled from [an] animal control shelter. […] Once the puppies were old enough to start life on their own, Lucky Dog found homes for all of them. […] Noel was an "amazing mom" to over two dozen foster puppies while staying at [a foster] house.”

2. Radiant cooling device uses significantly less energy than traditional air conditioning

“Testing of the device […] showed the cooling device capable of cooling the skin by approximately 7.3°C. It also showed that it consumed 50.4% less energy than an average air-conditioner of comparable ability. The research team notes that the device can also be run in reverse, to serve as a radiant heater.”

3. How a Native elections official is breaking down voting barriers in Arizona

“Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, Pima County Recorder, [… ran for office in 2020] to represent people who were being ignored by the democratic system and denied the right to vote. […] “People started getting the voter registration cards back, getting their voter IDs in the mail, and they were so excited to show me or thank me for helping them register,” she said.”

4. Scientists are growing [coral] babies in a lab to save animals from extinction

“Each August, corals in Florida release their eggs and sperm into the water[, … but “they] can’t reproduce on their own anymore.” [So, researchers are] collecting and freezing the spawn and growing them into genetically diverse baby corals that can be replanted into the wild[….] These resilient corals could pass important adaptations to their babies[….]”

5. New Legislation Will Accelerate Offshore Wind Energy in Delaware

““The responsible development of offshore wind and the transition to renewable energy is essential for the protection of wildlife, habitats, and communities from the havoc of climate change[….]” “This legislation is the product of careful consideration and input from multiple state agencies, industry experts, energy researchers and environmental advocates[….]””

6. Removal of Apache Trout from Endangered Species List Due to Collaborative Conservation Efforts

“[A]fter more than five decades of recovery efforts by federal, state and Tribal partners, […] the restoration of Arizona’s state fish marks the first […] trout delisted due to recovery, a significant conservation success[….] The Apache trout is found exclusively in streams of the White Mountains in the eastern part of Arizona […] and is sacred to the White Mountain Apache Tribe.”

7. [Texas] State court rules Austin must release files on police complaint

“Ecologists at Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) say the video footage provides exciting evidence wombats are breeding in the refuge again. […] There are only 400 of them in the world, making them rarer than the giant panda and the Sumatran tiger. […] “Although this isn’t the first joey born at the refuge, it is the first juvenile spotted for a few years.””

9. The country’s biggest electric school-bus fleet will also feed the grid

“[The] country’s first all-electric school-bus fleet[,…] which serve the district’s special-needs students, […] can charge with low-cost power and discharge spare capacity at times of grid stress[…. V]ehicle-to-grid charging is something for which electric school buses are particularly well suited.”

10. The Push to Save Horseshoe Crabs Is Gaining Momentum

“Conservationists hope new restrictions on harvesting and synthetic alternatives to a crab-blood compound used in biomedical testing can turn the tide for the ancient arthropods, whose eggs are a vital food source for Red Knots [threatened migratory birds]. […] Now conservationists are in the thick of a multi-pronged push to save both species.”

Silver City was established in the 1870s, after the discovery of silver at Chloride Flat. The founder, Captain Bullard, didn't live to see the tent city evolve. He was killed in an altercation with Apache in 1871. As a railway hub for the extracted ore, Silver City quickly became a boom town.

From Wikipedia: "The town's violent crime rate was substantial during the 1870s. However, Grant County Sheriff Harvey Whitehill was elected in 1874, and gained a sizable reputation for his abilities at controlling trouble. In 1875, Whitehill became the first lawman to arrest Billy the Kid, known at the time under the alias of Henry Antrim. Whitehill arrested him twice, both times for theft in Silver City (Sheriff Whitehill testified to the Justice of the Peace that he believed Henry Antrim did not do the actual stealing the second time arrested, but assisted in the hiding of the property stolen by Sombrero Jack. Whitehill would later claim that the young man was a likeable kid, whose stealing was a result more of necessity than criminality. His mother is buried in the town cemetery. In 1878, the town hired its first town marshal, "Dangerous Dan" Tucker, who had been working as a deputy for Whitehill since 1875. Butch Cassidy and his Wild Bunch were also reported to frequent the Silver City saloons in the late 1800s."
