Killer Heatwave

Submitted by ub on

Killer Heat is expected in the United States, with serious climate choices and future survival during dangerously hot days ahead.

The hot weather will spread across much of the central and eastern states over the next few days. Chicago, Detroit, New York City and Washington, D.C. may see what will soon be the very highest degree.

About 50 million Americans live where some level of heat alert is in effect. These include the very young, the elderly, those without air conditioning and those participating in strenuous activities, who are susceptible to heat stroke.

Government For We The People

Our president, The US House, and The Senate, including all public servants, must constantly be reminded that they work for us and we should tell them each and every day if they wish to stay, or else go away!

The issue should never be what is best for me, but it must always be what is best for We The People. The American taxpayers who pay your salaries and all the benefits you are enjoying.

Excellencies,

As you know all too well, the Pacific region is on the frontline of climate change.

That means you are also our important allies in the fight against it.

In the days ahead, I will also visit Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

Throughout my lifetime, I have known wiser, memorable and inspirational older individuals. My wonderful parents Margarita, Antonio, my brothers, my children, and the best grandkids any proud grandpa would ever want. Also there are the other members of my family who have taught me very important life lessons.

As I keep living, learning, and reflecting on blessings around me I see the key to longevity is to keep learning and moving forward at a steady pace.
