THE CHILD
Even with our climate going loop de loop, endless war, gross social inequity, there are people who still do not see the bubble machine is broken. There are fanatics of every stripe. The war machine is not broken. Most people still believe in money.
I wish I could prove something but the situation is too many variables mutually influential. Anyone with an average lawyer can get off scot free. Or maybe, if strongly enough convinced of something, almost anything, followers will accumulate, a movement. There is no dearth of factions, violent disputes, mall and high school and church and just random street shootings, some reassuringly attributed to gang wars or psychological reprisal for childhood wrongs and ghetto deprivation not to speak of supposedly unspeakable racial slurs or just a pool of urine by the wall near the steps at City Hall. Something big, something bringing tourist dollars, is going to happen in San Francisco. So get those “homeless” off the streets. What matters is not who works or lives where but can the City become a big hot dog stand with hotels and bars and restaurants and everything downloading dollars.
A couple of days ago it was 101 degrees here. Today I brought out a sweater and a blanket, even though the forecast was for 88 degrees, but the sky is completely clouded over, there is a stiff breeze, and it's actually 72 degrees right now. I guess my body just can't adapt fast enough. Sandwiched in, just barely showing under one corner of the San Francisco hype, was a report on Channel 5 about the El Nino now gathering heat. Factions are arguing over a “Godzilla” versus “exaggeration.” Or more plainly, “fossil fuel” versus “hoax.”
So it's time to consult the I Ching. A procedure sure to yank almost everyone's chain. The most convenient way is an online generator. I used to throw the stalks, which work just as well, but with the generator no one can level accusations of manipulation.
So in spite of all the rattling, here's the question (Sat, Sep 12, 12:55 PM):
How will the current El Nino affect California's weather?
The generator returned two trigrams: The Abysmal (water) over Keeping Still (mountain). These form hexagram 39, Obstruction. The Wilhelm/Baynes summary says “. . .a dangerous abyss lying before us and a steep, inaccessible mountain rising behind us.” The images clearly say rain which, in context, portends a Godzilla event.
