Fun facts - That little glowing patch on the night shots, just to the right of the date, is my city.
so is your whole city covered in bushfire smoke then?
At this exact moment, no, thereâs been some rain recently which helped, and took some of the particulate out of the air, but for much of the last two months, itâs been pretty smokey. Thereâs weeks where Iâve been cleaning ash off the car windows virtually daily, where the lightâs orange and the sun burns red. So, yeah, basically, shitâs fucked.
Ooof⌠right in the feels.

At least Iâll get to live out my dream of growing a beautiful palm tree on the beach in NYC before society collapses.
Heh, maybe not. Depending on the kind of palm it takes between 2 and 100 years to grow into a beautiful palm tree. In 50 years your half grown beautiful palm will likely be underwater.
Then Iâll just get the 2 year variety?
Like 2 seconds of extra research revealed that how long it takes to be grown is arbitrary and generally the ones you see like in movies and in California are about 20-30. The 2 came from how long before you can sell it at a nursery.
Until this year weâve been using two sets of tires on our car. Winter tires and normal tires. Now we are switching to all-year tires as it simply doesnât get cold enough in Berlin anymore to worry about snow or ice or even frost on the road.
The more complex reality is not that it will simply never be cold and snow in the winter but that certain areas will actually see more snow and more severe weather. But then warmer and/or dryer days in between or spring beginning earlier. Makes for impactful and unpredictable weather which costs money, affects plants and animal patterns, etc⌠Thatâs one of the many reasons that congressmanâs stunt a couple of years ago was so stupid to bring in a snowball to prove âglobal warmingâ isnât happening.
The less complex reality is that I live in Berlin, and weâve not had any meaningful winter weather for maybe five years. Iâm making long term tire plans based on that.
Not everything has to be about the biggest picture or the most complex view.
