My Music Video: eARThsong - about Growing Our Own Food in Chico, Living With Horses...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERVWVZUNyw

This Song was written at a time that we were living in Chico, California and were surrounded by a corral with 4 horses. We were also growing many plants including Morning Glory Flowers that eventually got so tall that they climbed up to the roof of the little house. The tomato plants produced an abundance of food... quite a miracle... especially to eat them hot off the vine... the earth in Chico is dark black and fertile... 

(lyrics) Bm A D G Planting, planting, planting seeds D A D May our garden grow... Bm A D G May God bless the earth and rain D A D And sprout the seeds I sow D A D And sprout the seeds I sow CHORUS: G Bm We've been tilling soil since the dawn of time A E The fertile loam of home is nature most divine G Bm The lady with the hand upon the plow A E is identical, then and now Weeding, weeding, weeding weeds feed 'em to the horses may God bless the new-born foal and teach it natures forces and teach it natures forces Riding, riding, riding steeds just like long ago May God bless the hay they eat and set their eyes aglow and set their eyes aglow

Question from 2021:

I Wonder Why Fresh Water from The Sacramento River Flows into the Ocean? Why Not Use It To Water Crops? After All, The Colorado River is Pumped Dry... and That's a BIG River... It Dug the Grand Canyon... 

We are Having a Drought Here in California... This Water COULD be used to Grow Crops, Water Livestock, Take Showers or Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... But NO... It Flows Out into The Ocean at San Francisco... 

Many People say we Need to Provide a Lot of Cool Water for the Salmon to Swim in... I Wonder... What if We Cared More about Human Life than Fish? What if the Salmon All Died in the Sacramento River... They Still Have The Klamath and Columbia Rivers to Swim in... What if We Just Pumped the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers Dry and Spread all that water over Farmland in the Central Valley... A LOT Would Evaporate and Fall as Rain When It Reached the Sierra Nevada... In Effect RECYCLING The Water... and Allowing the Hydroelectric Power Plants to Generate Electricity... In My Area, SMUD Generates all Electricity Using Power Plants on the American River... But They Create NO Electricity Without Rain... 

 

Sadly... The Klamath is a River is Having a Water Crisis too... It is Home to The YUROK and HOOPA Tribes. When I worked at the Welfare office in Eureka I Had a LOT Of Contact With People from those Tribes... They REALLY Understand The Salmon as They Have been Living in Harmony for a Thousand Years... The Fish have a FIVE Year Cycle and If One Year (like 2021) has a Massive Kill then The Total Population is Reduced by 20%... The Four Years of Salmon living in the Ocean are not Affected... 

We Had a Massive Kill During the Presidency of George Bush the Son... Same Problem... The Potato Farmers in Oregon wanted the Water for crops but the Fishermen wanted to Keep the Fish Alive... My Brother in Law is a Tourist Fly Fisherman who came out here from Delaware on Vacation specifically to Fish the Klamath and Trinity River... 

What Finally Happened was there was a Huge Loss of Money for the Motel Owners, Tour Guides and Restaurants who depend on the Salmon to Attract Tourists... about ten times the Increase in profit of the Potato Farmers... 

Photo of the Golden Bear on the Klamath River Bridge... This is where Highway 101 Crosses the River... It's the Location of the Tribal Headquarters... and I Always stopped there to Buy Gas (no California Taxes on a Reservation) and Get a big bottle of Coke...

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using WIRES. That's WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE WILDFIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

Photo from Space of the Bakken Oil Field... Burning Natural Gas at Oil Rigs in North Dakota is visible from space at night. Fracking... It looks as bright as a city but it's burning waste fuel... Polluting the World, Causing Global Warming.

A Mysterious Patch Of Light Shows Up In The North Dakota Dark...

https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2013/01/16/169511949/a-mysterious-patch-of-light-shows-up-in-the-north-dakota-dark

What we have here is an immense and startlingly new oil and gas field — nighttime evidence of an oil boom created by a technology called fracking. Those lights are rigs, hundreds of them, lit at night, or fiery flares of natural gas. One hundred fifty oil companies, big ones, little ones, wildcatters, have flooded this region, drilling up to eight new wells every day on what is called the Bakken formation. Altogether, they are now producing 660,000 barrels a day — double the output two years ago — so that in no time at all, North Dakota is now the second-largest oil producing state in America. Only Texas produces more, and those lights are a sign that this region is now on fire ... to a disturbing degree. Literally.

One thing I Noticed in the news was that THE ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION WIRES from Oregon to California Melted in a fire 7/12/2021... Vast Amounts of Power flow thru those lines... 

The Concept of Generating power in a Central Location and Distributing it using wires is a FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED SYSTEM... It was Power lines that started the Fire that Burned Paradise, CA...

Why Not Generate Power at the House and Unplug Everyone from the Grid?

Climate Change in Central America is Making Farmers WALK NORTH. No Rain Causes Starvation. Secretary of State Pompeo Recommends Everyone Move North to "Solve" Global Warming Problems... Of Course, That Plan Fails When We RUN OUT OF NORTH to Move To...

 He recommends Americans go to Canada and Alaska to avoid disasters Like Hurricanes in New Orleans and Wild fires in California. GOOD PLAN, for about TEN Years... and then we simply run out of NORTH when we are all living on the poles... Can't go any further than the North Pole and when that becomes Uninhabitable... Extinction... Hey, maybe he's looking at his own lifespan and making a plan for ten years is excellent when you are OLDER THAN DIRT... We need to get all the Old White Men out of Running the Government and Industry. We have a limited Knowledge Base and CANNOT THINK UP A SOLUTION to problems that we caused... I Know... I am an old white man and... Thinking up NEW ideas simply does not happen to Elderly People... Look at Rock Musicians like Pete Townsend... He hasn't written a song in 30 years... I haven't written a song in sixteen years... I had a really creative period in the 1980s and the early 2000s but the well has gone dry... WE NEED YOUNG PEOPLE TO THINK UP NEW PLANS for solving these problems...  I remember that when I was a kid we drove all over the place just to hear another Grateful Dead Concert... All that driving around CAUSED air pollution that caused Climate Change. NO, It's not the oil companies that are to blame... it's the people buying gas... It's people driving driving driving on vacation and every day to work. What IF we moved the OFFICE Closer to home? Then commuting to work would be shorter. What IF we just filled all those empty shopping malls with light industrial factories?  

What about a Cultural Shift? Car races would be NO LONGER FUN if everyone knew that extinction was caused by driving. Who would want to go to the Daytona 500 or Indianapolis if Cars Were Not Socially HIP? I remember that on Friday and Saturday nights they had car races at the Fairgrounds in the Summer. I could hear them and they sounded like angry bees. Definitely a Bad Sound. AND YET, people were buying tickets to go to the races... ABSURD! The sound is the sound of death. Chainsaws also sound like death. Leaf Blowers sound like death. Motorcycles Sound Like Death. and they all smell like death... Just attach a hose to your car's tailpipe and force the exhaust in thru a window that's rolled down two inches... turn on the engine and sit inside with all the other windows rolled up. That's a standard way to commit suicide. In a larger view... We are All in a closed system... the atmosphere of planet earth is just like the inside of a car with the windows rolled up. We are pumping pollution into the air... Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide... totally fatal if breathed in sufficient quantities... Burning Coal to make electricity releases Fatal Exhaust also. WE NEED TO USE LESS ELECTRICITY until the time when it is all generated by Solar, Wind, Hydro and BIOMASS. Biomass uses waste wood, sawdust to generate electricity... It is important to get rid of that waste somehow... and Biomass power plants are better than putting it in the City Dump. Use less electricity by simply turning the light switch off when leaving the room... Just like your mother taught you... What if we had Motion sensor lights everywhere? Lights come on when people are in the room ONLY. What if we removed HALF of the streetlights? What IF we unplugged all those transformers that power our modems and computers and televisions and phones? Transformers GET WARM even when the machine they are powering is turned off. WARM? WHY? There is A Coil of wire sucking up alternating current all day every day... it's used to convert 110 volts AC to 12 volts DC... But you pay for it on your electric bill even when you are not using it! Computer GEEKS call the Wall Warts. Plug them all into a power strip with a switch and when you are done, flick the damn switch... You Planet Will Thank You...

What IF Amazon, Microsoft or Warren Buffet pays a Billion Dollars to invent a Better Air Conditioner? Everyone wants to be cool in the Summer and Every Air Conditioner Uses a LOT of Power... I read that the Univesity of Singapore is doing groundbreaking research... WHAT IF we behaved Smart? Invest in something Useful? Stop inventing new Drone Bombers... There is no need to find a faster way to kill people. Lockheed, Raytheon and General Atomics are Merchants of Death. NOW, a Raytheon Employee is Acting Secretary of Defense... Wow, Obvious Corruption or WHAT! 

I see TV advertisements for Brand New Giant Trucks and Insurance and... I just laugh... I don't own a car... I'm not going to buy one anytime soon... It makes no difference at all how wonderful the tailgate on a truck is... I don't care, I don't Care, I don't CARE, I JUST DON"T CARE! Limu-EMU? Nope... Not My Bird... 

Trumpnik Steven Miller questions if the Words on the Statue of Liberty are Valid Anymore. Maybe they made sense when Irish Peasants were coming to America but... Now those people have Brown Skins and Doesn't that change everything? Yes, we welcome immigrants from White Countries like Slovenia but... People that don't speak English? NO! Walk South... That's what CZAR Donald the First Recommends. CRAZY. What we should be doing is welcoming immigrants and helping them integrate into American Society. Help the find Jobs and places to live and teach their Children how to speak English... The SECOND Generation does very well in the USA. Witness the Success of the HMONG and Vietnamese. The Success of the Germans and the Poles. The Italians and the Puerto Ricans...
