Yellowstone, closed?

I have reservations in the Old Faithful lodge in Yellowstone in a few days.  We always wanted to see it as the leaves turned and the snow fell on the peaks.  Mid October they close this lodge and most of the park services, our plan was to be there as the snows of October drive people out.

The radical republicans have taken control of congress, Boehner is among the hostages.  This morning  Yellowstone closed.  If the hostages find a spine they can get it opened again, but they have only a few days before I have to call off the trip, cancel hotel reservations along the trip route (to and from), don't have to hunt restaurants or gas stations or stop at points of interest.  It is going to be a dent in the economy, most of my cash impact would have been in red state Wyoming.  I really did want to see it at the beginning of it's winter.

While the parks and monuments are closed to the public, they do not close to corporations who mine, cut timber, drill for oil and gas.  Corporations are more important than people, therefore not locked out and will continue to vandalize the most beautiful and unusual landscapes in the nation.

let him without too many sins sell me a gallon

Sunoco named as the least evil gas refiner and seller.  Greenopia,  Green America, and Sierra Club, over the last few years have looked into this, and determined that Sunoco is not a climate denier, they voluntarily comply with a code of environmental conduct called CERES Principles, don't seem to hate hippies.
They are not a green company, they don't promote bikes and EV's.  But within their market they are the least evil.

None in my area, I see them sometimes on trips, will buy from them next chance.

the ocean on acid - chemical imperative

Chart, pay fucking attention here, top set is CO2, notice it is rising, bottom set is pH, note that it is lowering, note these two events happen in the same time frame.
The ocean absorbs CO2 from fossil fuel burning, chemical process of this lowers the pH.  Hydrogen ion's (look it up) are increased 26% in the last 150 years.
The ocean on acid means dead coral, no more clams, oysters, crabs, lobsters etc.  All those guys collect calcium from the water to form their exoskeleton.  As pH declines it becomes harder to create the shells, in fact the acidic seas are now obliged by chemical imperative to work full time to soften and dissolve calcium formations.
With warmer and more acidic seas, corals are dying in some areas, this will increase.  Shell fish growth is being slowed already, eventually their populations will decline, eaten by acid.

Are there any lights you could turn off?

Boehner, more bad choices than Jessie Pinkman

No one knows what he might do next.

Your doctor will not recommend this, they were trained in pills and surgery

8 year long Dr. Ornish study on prostate cancer - zero meat or eggs with increase in vegis for one year will reduce the size of the cancer, in some cases it is gone.
Another study, 3 spoons of ground flax seed on your cereal every morning, shows reduction in tumor size within a month, some are gone within 6 months.
What's the side effects of that?
Bladder cancer, zero meat and eggs, increase in cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and dark green vegi's, cancer stops growing, in many cases it is reduced.
Breast cancer, the same.

Meat and eggs have a chemical in them that stimulates new blood vessel growth.  Cancer needs that, can only grow with its own blood supply.  Without these new sources it ceases to grow, and the vegi's listed above are known stimulants to the body's own cancer fighting ability.  Together these two diet changes starve the cancer of blood.
What's the side effect of that?  Certainly not loss of hair or vomiting, nor weakness.
This will not make any drug maker a penny.  You will not hear this from your doctor, they were trained in pills, treat the condition not the cause.
