Barney, my dearest friend. You probably have trouble with my thoughts because you think I am under the spell of Al Gore. Don't I wish it was all a spell cast by Al Gore. The truth is if you didn't have lots of wildlife in your yard, it just wouldn't be fair. That's been their summer place for generations of birds. And I probably would be complaining to the Lord about the unfairness of it if you didn't. Just pray that He continues to bring them back, and protects them on their way south. And I must keep up with posting the followup on things I found in l995, which came from files from 1990 on. I want to see for myself where the projections into 2025 line up with July l998. I live near the Canadian border. I've heard no more than 4 birds at one time all summer. I have heard one isolated male songbird, who sings to himself and no one answers. There is not a single tadpole or live toad in Arizona or California or where I livedr in Washinbgton state where I spend last summer in the great woods. They most certainly are not hear the Canadian border where I live. The water is quite still except for larger fish in the lakes. I agree that there are isolated pockets of lots of everything on earth. There were even 50 live wild tigers in Punjab a huge section of jungle beside Indian. But that documentary was made several years ago. Since then, the price per poached tiger has gone from $10,000 per dead tiger for tiger parts to God literally only knows how much. There are countable gorillas in Small sections of Rhwanda. No where else I know of. So, let me say that I am glad you have the rest of the birds. But they are a pitiful remnant, and I must say that I hope you are taping them. If I hadn't visibly noticed the disappearance of all life, including flying insects, dramatically since l989 when I saw my last live toad in Arizona and was amazed to remember that I hadn't seen one for almost three years, I would not be the watchman on the watchtower that I am. If God has placed me here, I'm not coming down. When I bought my little property in Arizona in l987, my yard was fully of all sorts of birds, living through the peril of the many other pets. I had six beautiful spayed cats taken from their home and dumped in the desert to certain death by an old couple next door who believed my cats were the reason the millions of birds they had fed for years were no longer coming in. Just isolated stragglers. So I thought they (the pretty songbird types) were all in California on the Northern Coast. They weren't. Also, very few hummingbirds, I quickly noticed. Par for the course in l983 on the coast was 4 hummingbirds at a time per feeder, waiting their turn. Fish and Game there told me they had "all moved inland or up North." I said, oh sure. I lived in the woods near Carnation in Washington in the middle of nowhere for six weeks. During that time I heard maybe four birds and saw 2 that were not crows. No toads, flying insect except one white moth. Nor was there any sound at night. Not even crickets. The deed is done, and talking me out of it at this point is a little hopeless. Now I'm in the middle of no-industry whatsoever, and I can count the birds I'[ve heard that were not peeping sparrows. The singing birds I've heard I can count ON ONE HAND. I saw 2 robins a few days ago, and what was a HUGE flock of about 10 one day several months ago. Your birds are making their way back home, and again, you appear to have one of the isolated pockets the non-flesh eating birds accumulate. The humming birds are dramatically down. j Frogs are now acknowledged as nearly "vanished" and the bee population and honey production is down up to 90% in many parts of the world. I've got clover and dandlions all over and can walk barefoot everyday. This summer I've seen 2 bees, and no butterflies. This was not possible as you know until about 15 years ago. I posted that dear woman's writing yesterday because no one could have said it better. She wrote that in 1994. Under that sheet of paper is the one Racheal Carson wrote in 1962, a year before she died. They are nearly parallel writings. I will post from Rachael when I finish the parts of Anne's farewell column I found in 1994. Interestingly, I found both these obscure articles while I was rushing through all of the current monthly publications looking for updates to the articles I was finding on Info Trak. Therefore, I did at that moment, and do now, take these womens' similar statements 30 years apart as certain knowledge that HE wanted me privy to. AND, then, on top of that, I plan to continue with my studies of how far the projections made in l990 of all areas of atmospheric and biological decline had gone by l998, when the projections were made less than 7 years ago for the year 2025, mostly. I very, very much appreciate your uplifting thoughts on the matter. I have gone through devasting and paralyzing sadness over this soon after I came out of my backsliding. It was like the Lord said to me, "see....see what has happened while you turned your back to go your own way." I believe with all my heart it is He who has gotten my attention to these matters, and I will not be backsliding again, and now have time to tally up the damage and make assessment reports. What people do with them is no concern of mine. I just plan to tally up the damage and make the proper report. The Lord use these reports or He will tell me to do something else. But I will be reporting. :) :)
