Third Rock From The Sun


Thank God the hot  temperature subsides from showers at early dawn today. Only to be sunnier and hotter in the afternoon. Once again the mercury rise up to uncontrollable hissy fit. Go ahead let the fire and  flames engulfed all the dry timber and dry grass. For the farmers such fire and burning is the process called kaingin system. Changing original crop to another crop. The burning seems to help them for the process of replacing coal to charcoal. But is there something that we can do to prevent forest fire? There are so many ways you can control such fire such as: prohibit camp fires, open pit fire when its windy, open burning and cooking on stove outside the house or covered shelter. Stop smoking when you are in the forest just to make sure you don't drop lighted cigars. Don't leave or bring flammable objects or any kind of item that can give instant combustion. Don't even fart.

Oh well, those are helpful remedy for being obedient and for protecting our evergreen forest.

When the weather is hotter and unbearable just take a shower, cold shower is great. Swimming is advisable at the nearest city pool, lake and river or beach but make sure you know how to swim. For young children or the toddlers you can buy a small kiddy pool and have it at your yard where you can fill it up with water. Once the sun's up the water will surely turned lukewarm and children will love splashing warm water and make sure you look after them while they are swimming. Have dry towels handy because sometimes when its windy the cool air can be very unruly and cruel and they might get cold or catch cold whatever prevention, control  and discipline is a must.

For those who would rather stay at home should have to fan themselves with handy fan, electric fan to keep them cool. Good for those with air conditioning unit. Drink plenty of fluids: juice, healthy beverage or pop whatever is good to quench your thirst. Water is still a safe drinking alternative. Make sure you boil your water in places where "known" as "hot spot" for virus and bacteria. Places ravaged by typhoon, storm, tornado and flood.

With all these hassles due to hot weather don't you wish it's autumn already? Wishing for those autumn foliage, healthy colors of flowering pretty joyful  mums. Leaves turning bright orange, crimson red striking awesome colors of a bright new day for a bright new month.

Or let the clock strikes counter clockwise and have spring instead. This is what happened to our weather and our point of destination the island is closer to Alaska when its winter time. The island is closer to California and Philippines at summer time. At spring time, the island is passing through Hawaii and Japan. Frightened? The island is beside a huge continent and it follows its strict axis rotation. Once the snowfalls and the North Pole gets heavier the island is tilted on its axis and the island moves its direction to the north. It's the same every year. The movement is simply like a Pi ratio. Why Einstein studied all these "happenings?" Right, why he's so curious about it? George Vancouver and so many explorers have studied the "movements" too they call these "explorations as PHYSICS.

An island moving to the direction of the bigger continent is something hard to understand? Oh c'mon you wont feel it anyway. You've been here in the island for more than ten years or 20 years and you can't feel anything. You wont. You are used to it already. Hold your head up high and you wont get annoyed nor you wont get paranoid. The island is bigger than your head so whatever movements I told you  wont feel it.
