Safari Park can even be fun during the rain. When a friend and I went while it was raining, we got lots of extra attention because there were just a few people visiting the park that day. We had a great time!

In the above pictures and videos, what is striking is the presence of trees and even palms with their leaves, right next to completely destroyed buildings or melted cars. Is that normal?
Why wasn’t the vegetation disintegrated too?

California Natives plant expert, Greg Rubin, is “not a fan of prescribed burns”.
Reinette Senum had the soil tested where she lives in Northern California to determine the metals content in the soil. Are some of our forest trees actually dying from
metals sprayed from the air… barium, strontium, aluminum? Does that make those trees extremely flammable?

Yesterday, there was constant air traffic over downtown Vista most of the day. There were mostly light clouds overhead, as I recall. Then, last night there were some dark clouds that looked like they were full of rain… and light misting coming from them… and NO PLANES that I heard.
So, last night when there would have been a reason for planes to be up there… seeding the clouds… they were missing in action?
I really don’t understand what rationale these planes have for being up there hour after hour after hour most days. What in the heck are they doing?
I believe I read somewhere that the American Airlines planes that were just approved for Palomar Airport by County Board of Supervisors had just four or so takeoffs and four or so landings per day. So, there still should be no excuse for constant air traffic over downtown Vista.

Benefits of Gratitude
Robert Emmons shares the results of his research on gratitude: better health, more happiness, and stronger connections to others.
“There’s one study that found that blood pressure was substantially lower when people were keeping a gratitude journal… and reduced hostility, which we know is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease…
6th and 7th graders… their grade point average increased… when they were gratitude journaling.”

“Stress-related health problems are responsible for up to 80% of visits to the doctor and account for the third highest health care expenditures, behind only heart disease and cancer. But as few as 3% of doctors actually talk to patients about how to reduce stress.”

I wrote one thank you letter in 2024. Just one. And it absolutely reverberated throughout my life in a fabulously good way. It rocked my world. I need to do more of these gratitude letters. 🙂
That’s my resolution for New Year 2025.
