El Nino

It has been seventy-five years since I last heard the term "yellow-bellied sea snake" which was an epithet hurled by the white-hatted cowboy (good guy) at the black-hatted cowboy (bad guy) in those weekly "oater" serials of my youth. Now as everything that goes around comes around these "critters" are showing up on California beaches thanks to El Nino warming up our coastal waters. Their venom is ten times more toxic than a cobra. If you see one give it a wide berth and call your local zoo.

  1. El Nino is beating South Brazil big time, this year. On my home state, only, 58 counties are in distress situation because of the heavy rains falling this year. Floading, tornadoes, hailstones as big as a tennis ball, are a constant in the last weeks.
