Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 26, 2021

Know that Mother Nature has no sense of fair play whatsoever…

We seem to be gearing up for a few inches of snow tomorrow night. We did have snow for Christmas: About 15 minutes of “dinner plate” flakes (actually closer to 2 to 3 cm): A sure sign that they were falling through warmer air and getting “sticky” on the way down.

I get a distinct Deja Vu feeling about this ’toon… Aha: © ’17 Wilie Ink, Ltd, 12/26

These are the same beings who placed the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden for no other purpose than to tempt Adam and Eve. (Satan, in the guise of a snake, was simply acting as their agent.) History has shown they do love to play games.

I thought those traffic lights were programmed by the Devil, or somebody sadistic.

Thunder is the angels bowling.

I had no idea Ma Nature hacked into traffic signals. What?

“…for he maketh. his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” — Matthew 5:45

“It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”!

I remember seeing a crosswalk signal from the pre-walking-man era where someone had put the wrong stencil in the lower half, so that the sign would read either “DONT” (in green) or “DONT DONT” (in red).

I was a good boy. I didn’t dont.

Mother Nature operates without rime or reason

Don’t mess with Mother Nature ’cause Mother Nature messes back……big time

Mother nature was certainly in form around here yesterday. While we stayed inside enjoying our pajama Christmas yesterday the weather was nasty. Rainy with temperatures near freezing. My wife saw posts that even the sanding trucks were sliding down the road and that there were several accidents in town. And from the sound of the rain all night it looks like we’ll have a pajama Boxing day.

Oh, wow!!! Where does The Count find that button? The Count loves snow! Well, as long as The Countmobile stays in the garage and The Count does not have to drive anywhere. But the point: fires in the fireplace, a hot cuppa cocoa like mom used to make, something good on streaming (and good luck with that), a good book (currently really into Karen Abbott). It’s All Good. :)

Swear to God, if I was in charge of traffic signals I’d be so tempted . . .

After the mess we’ve made to the environment, He should be glad it didn’t drop rocks.

Mother Nature is well and truly po’d at what we are doing to her planet. And is fighting back.

So who’s holding her beer?

Question is, in California and elsewhere, much of the ground has been burned over. Bad enough with the current rains in some areas. Wonder how much damage will occur in other parts when the melt begins?

There should be one more lever labeled “Bears”.

you should see what she does when someone poops om a golf course.

Looks like snow for the next 4-5 days, not much though. I do have to move one of the hummingbird feeders to a warmer spot though, maybe in the gazebo.

Mama Nature keeps the playing field level.

Thank goodness I don’t live in the snowbelt. Whew!!

I’m no fun. If the sign says do not push, I don’t push. I’ll just walk across the street anyway.

Snow in Seattle this morning.

Since it’s hotter than Phoenix here in Oklahoma, I’d say Mother Nature is having menopausal hot flashes.

As long as it is not ice.

It’s going to get up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit here where I live in Texas.

My favorite Ziggy cartoon from the 80’s — “Be nice to Mother Nature. Where will you go if she makes you leave home?” [Had it on my office wall until a co-worker tore it down because it was ‘too political’. He didn’t want people to get the idea we were a tree-hugger organization.]

I’m looking for the button that dispenses gold nuggets, but I’d settle for chicken nuggets

As Daffy Duck once said, “No, no, no, no, no! Don’t ever push the wed one!”

My favorite bumper sticker of all time: NATURE BATS LAST

To be honest, Mother Nature is murderous, ruthless killer .

Analog controls? Thought they would be digital by now.

And you can’t fool her. Mama will know. Mama will getcha!

Don’t push Mother Natures buttons.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it… (BOOM!!!)

Meh, knee-deep is nothing. We had still had it hip-deep at Xmas last year, it was half-way up my front door when it stopped snowing on the 17th.

When I was a kid we had snow the week before Christmas and it was lovely. Then it got dry and we had a dust storm on Christmas Eve and the remaining drifts turned brown and muddy. EWWW.

What is it about so very, very many people who completely fail to realize (and/or refuse to acknowledge) the simple fact that Mother Nature does not cater to our whims but that we must cater to hers, and try very hard to not add to the causes of her wrath.

I keep waiting for the government study that results in relabeling the signs, “Wait”, “Don’t Wait” – “to avoid confusion”.

At least the days are getting longer!

Although at times it seems otherwise, Mom Nature and this planet are not here for our amusement.

I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumors, but I think that God’s got a sick sense of humor; and, when I die, I expect to find him laughing.

I wish she would pull that lever more often on my early December birthday. It very seldom snows (I have lived most of my life in the mid-Atlantic region), so I have a fair to middlin’ chance of it doing so. It just doesn’t happen enough to my liking. It has snowed more BEFORE my birthday than on it. LOL

2017 hmm

just making your life a little more surreal.

Well, she DID Warn him. Twice.
