This morning's snow in Weirdale is not quite sure whether to appear as lovely frozen crystals or slush. .. a crucial difference, not least because the powdery snow is a drier form of water, or H2O to be chemically precise ... how 2 molecules of Hydrogen plus one of Oxygen manages to appear so different depending on temperature is well beyond comprehension here, and remember in summer it even may evaporate and float away to become a cloud ... only to condense later here and there as rain, a liquid, or ice, a solid ...
And since water is ubiquitous, it seems a shame some clever chemist has yet to make an engine powered by water ... how hard can it be to mimic the Sun and release the 2 molecules of Hydrogen and send the Oxygen out of the exhaust pipe?
Naturally, such pseudo-scientific musings are not entertained high on the Fell, where beautiful snow falls thick and fast, not wishing to be rain today ... that's the limits of science in the mind of this old blogger more interested in the magic of solitude, creating the first human footsteps on the snow, though birds and small mammals came before ...
Before all the snowy fun, a trip around the internet, and an amazing discovery from the World Economic Forum, following the Blue Book released last year with videos from Klaus and friends, since it's Davos time again ... on Zoom! Interestingly your fair-minded blogger's attempt to share the news about the ambitious plan is blocked by FB, due to "a problem", still not resolved, though indicative of censorship from the monopolist big tech corps, mostly algorithmically. .. free speech obviously a problem during this crisis ... anyway the clips are there on YouTube as the Great and Good line up to hail the Leader of the New World Order, unelected of course, but Vlad is pledging allegiance too and his democratic credentials are dubious to say the least!
The Pandemic is taken as an accidental event, precipitating the acceleration of measures long planned ... any discussion on the deliberate launching of Sars Cov 2 and ensuing variants, not to mention lying Governments, lying scientists, lying media ... allegedly ... still, the Fear is established and the antidote offers relief, whether through live trials of vaccines or softer regimes to roll out who knows what? Though many details have been published, if you wish to see what's in store.
All quiet back on the street, energised by snowy adventure ... evidence of increase in home deliveries ... a great solution to the covid thing ... except for those delivering, of course ...
Philipp Blom's the latest writer inspiring your blogger, with his wonderful prose and insightful observations of modern history ... after Nature's Mutiny, it's time to investigate the fourteen years before the War To End All Wars ... as they later said ... though still we have wars ... why?
As it happens Klaus has an answer to the problem and if enough of us trust him he could have a chance to try ... that's up to you dear reader(s), but this sceptical old blogger smells a rat ... let's see!
