We saw some pretty and unusual clouds over our house, last week.
I like clouds; like many, I've been looking at clouds since I was a little kid and we'd look at the sky and say "Look! That one looks like an elephant!" and so on.
Mrs. Denmarkguy took a couple of pictures and posted them to Facebook, for no reason other than they were pretty, unusual and interesting.

The unexpected element of doing so was the quick "reaction" from more than one person that it was "chemtrails" and probably something related to HAARP.
As an adjunct to my post from a week back about the pervasiveness of "boogeymen" in people's lives, I find it amazing and alarming how much people seem to be looking for something nefarious in virtually every daily event they come across.
These are clouds, folks!
Aside from the fact that "Altostratus Ondulatus" clouds were present in the sky when I was a kid in the 1960's — a couple of decades before HAARP was even a thing — I'm just really struggling with the "evil intent" angle.

Not everything in the universe is out to get you, people!
To each their own... and ultimately, I don't really care, but the question that comes to my mind — and that I want to ask — is what will all the fearmongers HAVE if they turn out to be right?
"Oh, the end of the world happened, and you're laying there as a pile of ashes! But YOU WERE RIGHT! Shame that you're dead like the rest of us, and can't tell the difference anymore!"
The End of the World!
Recently — on May 26th — it was once again supposed to be "the end of the world" as some Aztec (not Mayan) calendar "expired."
Here we are, ten days later, and the world did not end... AGAIN.
I'm not here to tell anyone what and how to believe, I just want to know what the objective is, in focusing and dedicating your entire life to "the end of everything."
Are you just longing to be part of some kind of mass extinction? Or are you not happy unless you can have someone to blame for everything?
Let's consider that even if you knew a giant asteroid was heading this way and would kill you just as certainly as anyone else... and there was not a thing you could do about it... why would you turn your entire life into a perpetual anxiety attack as you study every dust mote in the universe to try to determine whether it will kill us all?
Anxiety — and not just having it, but also obsessively seeking it — can also be an addiction. And if the big disaster does hit the world, and everything ends? It won't matter all that much because...
WE'LL BE DEAD!
Thanks for reading, and have a great week!
