What Can I Say, It's 2013 In May, But On This New Day, My Heart I Will Obey, From A Straightened Arrow I Won't Stray, Pointed In Direction Of No Decay, And A Healthy Smile Display

What Can I Say, It's 2013 In May, But On This New Day, My Heart I Will Obey, From A Straightened Arrow I Won't Stray, Pointed In Direction Of No Decay and A Healthy Smile On Display

Snapping Through The Snow & Ice
Below you will find some early versions of my Morning Meme-Oh from September 2013!, which has changed to have a consistent rhyming theme in October and November of 2013, then purely rhymes in December of 2013. About that time it also became a once a day, every day of the month event rather than on weekdays alone. It took its present format, one rhyming word per line, on May 18, 2014, but I would later drop the My from the title, so as of this posting, it looked like this sample.

Before getting to my historical archive of tweets, I have the following little ditty.

Crossing The Threshold Of Climate Change

The world is being drastically changed by us. Besides what I've read, amazing and often devastating climatic changes are evident in things we see happening now that we have never seen before. The adjacent photo was taken in central Minnesota at Lake Maria State Park. The photo is a stunning example of the bizarre changes occurring. It was taken by me in late April of 2013.

The scene shows a snapping turtle crawling across a dirt road in the park. In the background a small body of water can be seen with significant ice still remaining on the surface. It is April 28, and ice is usually completely off small lakes by mid April or sooner. It would be another week or so before the ice was completely gone, almost a month after the normal thawing for this part of the state. I have been hiking and running in this park for over 20 years, every three days or so, and I am not aware of seeing turtles moving around when ice was still on the lake. While it may not be an odd event in the history of the world, it can be added to a much longer list of events including the most egregious examples like the melting of the glaciers and Hurricane Sandy that do seem to fit what climatologists have feared from manmade climate change.

Of course, at least some may question why ice on a lake would be part of global warming or climate change? While you should read other sources to get the real picture like this data and explanation from Skeptical Science, here is my take as far as I've been able to understand it.

First, both global warming and climate change are terms that only partially explain what is going on. Think of both terms together, and then you get a more complete picture of what is going on (than what you can from two terms). The climate is always changing, but it usually takes a very long time. For example, there are long term weather patterns like El Nino and El Nina that may cause some swings in the weather, which may only occur in 50 or 100 year patterns. That means many people may forget how it was then or just weren't alive when those changes occurred.

However, you must understand there is more than just one metric to follow beyond how hot or cold it is in one place. Among other things, you need to add in the rise in CO2 in the last 100 years, and that temperatures are rising faster than climatologist found in the fossil and sediment records. Temps have never risen so fast in such a short time, except maybe after sudden cataclysmic events like huge meteoroids hitting the earth, Yes, climate change "like this in many ways” may have happened in the past without cataclysmic events but that would have taken thousands of years. It would be like watching grass grow versus seeing a rocket takeoff. That is my analogy, not a scientific one, but think of any actual CLIMATE change in similar turns as no one could see this happen except if they lived 500 or more lifetimes at least.

Second, the reason we see lots of snow like in Buffalo, NY in late 2014, inches of snow in Temecula, California, and ice on a lake is because the rise in temperature is going to screw up the weather in various ways. Basically, winters may not go away for many decades (and probably not completely for 100s of years) but what will happen is wild swings in the weather rather than a consistent reduction of snow over time, like a slowly and evenly deflating air mattress.

Rather, expect it be like a climate balloon bouncing around, deflating, reflating and over inflating, while wreaking all kinds of havoc, like torrential rains, floods, and severe heatwaves as well as heavy snow. Amazing events which have never occurred before all together or in thousands of lifetimes. It may be that internal parts of the country may be more consistent than coastal states where the warming oceans affect things more quickly and drastically. Think some consistency depending on where, yet many wild swings almost everywhere at some point, but consistently worse over the decades.

Finally, remember it is NOT the weather we are concerned about but the climate. Animals and ecosystems can survive bad weather, but a drastic change in the climate over just a few decades or even a century or two can be like a slow motion cataclysmic event for them. Humans may be able to survive by going inside or digging underground, but these creatures and systems cannot change their "survivability code" to adapt that quickly. It is especially difficult for higher life forms or any with very strict boundaries like rainforest frogs, polar bears and such.

Once again, I am not a scientist, so I may be off in some of my comparisons, or even facts, but it's what I understand so far. I hope it helps you in some way to get, or start to get, your head around it if you were struggling up to this point.

Sincerely, RTC

April 2013 Arrives Like A Lamb, Made Into Mostly Ham, Handed Off To A Poetry Slam…

April 2013 Arrives Like A Lamb, Made Into Mostly Ham, Handed Off To A Poetry Slam, Causing Them To Say What A Sham, Wow He Should Undergo An Exam
Circa 2007 • when I was such a young lad

The photos found on this page are mixed like on the March 2013 version, some hoping for warmer days, most showing the colder, snowier ones. My daughter also took a few of them, at the beginning of the month, it was a trip to the Minnesota State Capitol.

In addition, I did some extend writing associated with the political nature of one of my daughter's photos.

PHOTO: My Fishing photo can also be found on pinterest.

The Month of December 2012 Presents On The 25th…

I did a lot of off the wall 140 caricature writing this 12th month of the year 2012. I was able to leave some of it in here. The rest has been carted off to NSA headquarters for further evaluation because of possible error-witless threats to the English languish.

Autumn 2012 Arrives Falling On Our October To…

Autumn 2012 Arrives Falling On Our October To Pick Things Up As September Leaves The Fest To Us

My Punned Title Gets Its Hit From This Pic
You will notice that this is a highly charged month of politicking. Obama's 2nd term is about to be verified. I apologize for any high charging I do myself. I've tried to avoid any kind of politics in the past year or so on my NicheDental Twitter, but some of my opinion-nations came out here in October of 2012 and in various places over the next few months or so.

That said, you'll also notice that the Morning MEme-Oh! or Morning Meme-o:) as it's shown here, is still not a rhyming vignette. I haven't looked ahead to see when it actually changes to 99% rhyming, but it must be soon.

Falling On The End Of September Is The Beginning Of Autumn's Colors To Beautifully Remember

This guy was hiding underneath a bucket out back!
The month of September 2012 was nearly devoid of the rhyming now* evident in all Morning MEme-Oh! tweets I am doing now.

(*Sept 2014, when this compilation was being posted) 

I veered away from attempting to write "profound" statements or higher thought musings after awhile because I wanted a more creative and fun outlet for this vignette rather than something more serious. I do that in other areas, and I like it as a creative jumping off spot in the morning.

FYI: Here's the Morning Meme-Oh! Story if you want more background on how all this got started: The Beginning of the Story Starts Towards the End.

• There are many other photos of mine below, scattered between the Meme-Oh! tweets:

Otherwise…

BELOW Are All The MM-oh! Tweets of September 2012.

June 2012 Seems To Be The First Month I Did Tweeted Nearly Fully

I will start with the tweet below that describes my initial idea for doing the Morning Meme-Oh concept. Then do this latest one in the month of June 2012, and go backwards, since that format is how tweets are published. Of course, I will go beyond June 2014 some point in the future.

While these first few months or so do not rhyme like the current (June 2014, and many months before) you will see the progression of my style. Once again, there will be some cryptic and riddle qualities to the earlier ones especially. Some may seem like non sequiturs, but actually are more cryptic than not directly connected or errant.

Then again, if you read my initial post, there may have been other reasons they did not connect as well as I thought when I wrote and posted them. That said, more towards a fun rhyming scheme in months farther in the future from June 2012.

I'm remembering as I look up again and post these tweets that some were also political to a minor degree or two. I've avoided my political bent for the "most part" now at NicheDental Twitter.

The first tweet shows what they look like in June of 2014.


Below are all of June 2012

The Beginning Of The Story Starting Towards the End

I am starting towards the end of this story, but I hope to develop a decent archive of my Niche Dental Morning Meme-Oh! vignettes here on this blog. They have come in various variations, but have come to be a rhyming style that seem to fit the space and the "fun" kind of idea I was hoping to let loose on the world.

Many of the Morning Meme-Oh! vignettes I think make immediate sense, but some portion ended up being riddles (that maybe only my mind's eye could get) and/or others were some very sketchy puns (or just bad). However, overall the writing has been helpful to me as a creativity booster, which I have needed most mornings.

In a more serious vein, about three years ago I was in need of something to get me "back" in the saddle again after about 18 months being mostly out to pasture with chronic back problem. Tweeting became an outlet that required only minimal sitting (bad) or standing (worse) per item completed. Even with many of the symptoms still under the surface and now controlling 90% of them with exercise and some non-narcotic medicine, long articles were erased from my work schedule only recently.

Because of that rise from the ashes experience (a "slight" exaggeration) and inability to write long articles, I also came up with ideas like this, this, this, this and now this, and have been working on these in association with my good friend Oli.

That aside, I am most amazed by my ability to continually write these day after day for 2 years (or more?). In the last few months, even getting one done for the each day of the week. Therefore, I probably have over a thousand of them in my Twitter archive already.

While not each one had a rhyme to it in the beginning, it has actually become easier to write them now even though I have "used up" nearly a thousand rhyming ideas. As far as I know, I have never reused one of them.

The reason for the headline "The Beginning Of The Story Starting Towards The End"partly has to do with my "recovery"but also because I probably won't ever get all of them posted here. I may start with a few months back or less and the proceed from there (as of the moment of this writing I have not decided) .

Of course, I am also envisioning a point where I may come up with a different concept (as in a form that would not be recognized as "it") in the near future. Like the end of 2014 or???

Yet, it's still quite fun to write them now. And hopefully they are enjoyed by many of my Twitter followers.

Twitter.com/NicheDental New Morning MEme-Oh!s are posted usually around after 11am and before noon.

I will start a new post for each separate month, as I said starting a few months back - give or take. But may not always get every tweet from that month posted.

Sincerely,

Richard The Chwalek (RTC)
