At least you are not an Anti Natalist.  I did read that New Yorker article you cited some time ago.  Makes pessimism seem like Pollyanna.  I am primarily Buddhist-Advaitist, and that helps.  Even Christianity, if you filter out the anti semitism and anti sexuality.  Jesus was not a Christian, after all.  But I do go on . . .

Meanwhile, I feel better running the gas heat.  CO2 is better than Methane.  Lol.

Humanity will survive sure, but perhaps not at a highly technological level.

Meanwhile, the sun itself is slowly warming, but slowly enough to give us maybe one more chance at doing it right.  Hope springs everlasting.

These are positive feedback processes, as we all know.  The liberation of methane has never been taken seriously enough, but now at least it is being addressed.  We're in for a crisis, but I'm convinced that humanity will survive, and be the wiser.

All obvious statements, but I felt it worth expressing.

0.29" here.  No thunder.  Just gentle rain.

0.69" from last  night's rain.  Not bad.

1.46" since then.  Still coming.   Here overlooking the D&R Canal in W Windsor.

1.91" of new rainfall.  It's adding up, on a miserable day.  Give me Indian Summer, please. It will be better, now that the soil is better moisturized.  Maybe a good Fall Foliage season after all.  

edit: 4.26" for the event so far - but my dinky rain gauge is on the West side of my building, as far as possible out of the rain shadow.  More coming, I'm sure. - edit - final ..08": total is 4.34.

Another 0.1" with this one.  Nickels and dimes add up, but pennies?  

Looking forward to a nice but not severe coastal someday soon.  

Got 0.70" on my deck.  That's it for now. Rain never was heavy.

To my amazement, 0.90"  - It did sound substantial, so I can believe it.

To my amazement, .9"  - It did sound substantial, so I can believe it.

I got 0.14 overnight.  Today so far: Nada.

Got .56" here in W Windsor.  Did not hear thunder.

Line of fast moving showers moving into Middlesex County NJ ATM.

Got a fast .3"  Nickels and dimes, but it adds up to keep things green.

Seeing lightning from that cell down by Trenton 

That cell's expanding rapidly.  Thunder too, from where I live.

.38 overnight.

Heard my first summer cicada this AM.  Weeks late.  By this time they should have been making a racket in the trees.
