The land behind the Zion Curtain hasn't seen moisture in the form of snow since October 2021. Today is the last day of November. Winter is creeping its creepy dang season forward and time along with the seasons waits for no human. The phrase used to read 'time waits for no man' but in today's mea culpa correctional trending bullshit, ain't not a supposed to say "man." That in and of itself poses any number of problems for men. Oh crappies I digress. Back to the beginning all over again. We ain't not had no dang stinking snow and politicians that are heavily indebted to the ski resort lobbyists are freaking out. You see a way out here and behind the Zion Curtain we get an atmospheric inversion that is conjoined to the winter season. Brief definition would read, cold air sinks to valley floors and warm air rises aloft and therefore and thereby trapping the cold air down where the peoples live and that cold air traps and collects all the human inspired particulates and pollutions so the air we breathe isn't breatheable. Breathable? Yeah, probably that one. Can't breathe and there isn't any policing agency planting a choke hold on folks so can't blame the police. We can however blame the dumb ass politicians that refuse to do more than about squat regarding atmospheric particulates and in general pollution. So little by little earlier and earlier inversion sets on and by about February, folk can't breathe. Tie in the Covid-19 in all of its inglorious variants and talk about pulmonary distress. Death? Death by lack of clean air to breathe. While choking to death slowly might seem like not so bad a way to croak, I find the notion to be anathema. Anathema is a fanciful big word meaning oh shit not that and vehemently so. It is 'big word Tuesday' so big words it shall be. Long story short and I can understand why any reader will be happy about that, skiers are vexed and woefully unhappy. Ski resort owners and operators can't make snow fast enough as the artificial snow melts away faster than the snow maker guys can make fake snow. You see the inversion only plagues valleys and up in the higher altitudes where the snow might ordinarily lay, the elevations are out of any inversion troubles so it's warmer at elevation and the fake snow melts. Dang if'n it ain't about one thing it is about several other dang things and so it goes. According to climatologists and various weather professionals, there isn't gonna be any snow for quite a while yet to come and the Great Western Drought 2021/22 shall plod merrily along and oh those pesky dang drought plagues shall continue to continue. Actually the Great Western Drought has been about the drought business for years now and won't be too much longer and there won't be a drop of water to be had anywhere west of the ole Mississippi. All points west shall dry up and blow gracelessly out to sea. Say bye bye to livable and hello barren wasteland. Now we move it along to the machine art part of todays inversion themed program. Cha-cha...

as an added bonus at the start of inversion season, I tossed that 'cha-cha' in just because. I can do that. 💃
