This kind of reminds me of a game i played when i was younger where you had to investigate a blob that had washed up onto the beach and decide what it was made of and what not… good times

@ roz – hate to be smug, but Wikipedia backs me up on this one… the Blob was left in the Arctic!

It’s obviously the same blob and the movie was a documentary with actors staging an elaborate reconstruction! Run for your lives!

Let’s wait and read in due time what this is all about. Let is not screw up our normal mind yet.

Changes around us in nature are there all the time. This season I see a lot of those black beetles, never have seen so many of them, they are in the house and all over my property. The getting smaller of wasps, in the previous years, the getting larger of them now again (and the more painfull sting ..), the outburst of mice everywhere the last previous years .. The weather’s cycles triggers all of this. Nothing to do yet with global waring but just the way it always has been. Global warming itself might not really be due to human interference but just nature’s laws … Those holes up there .. they also can close (and do close) at times all of a sudden again … They hardly report on that .. as it would not back up their hypothesis ofcourse …
It’s all a matter of focus.

Ofcourse, keeping your place a bit clean, also outdoors, is just common sense. But some will need extremes to see that.
