10 years ago when I first saw it, the circle was much smaller and closer to the sun-looked like a ring around the sun filled with smog. Today I happened to look and the ring is MUCH MUCH bigger than it was. I did
a photo merge.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA what causes this. I do not remember EVER seeing it before about 10 years ago-and I am a gazer at the sky….
Please share with me if you know / or even if you think you know!
Everyone is told that these bulbs are a great energy saving alternative to incandescent light bulbs. They are. They can use up to 75% less energy than traditional bulbs and we are encouraged to use them.
So what’s “the rest of the story?”
The bulbs contain a small amount of mercury (about 5 mg), which is a HAZARDOUS COMPOUND.
The same product that helps them energy efficient also makes them a UNIVERSAL WASTE when it’s time for disposal.
CFLs can’t go in the trash!!!
They have to go to a Household Hazardous Waste facility. How about that!
I wonder about all the sprays and creams and products we’ve used over the years.
Perhaps there is plenty of reason to understand the number of cancer patients - and other maladies that have come up in this 21st century!
Just curious as to your thoughts. By the way, my daughter had a healthy baby girl!
Miracles still happen!
Obama bought a home that cost $165 million dollars. Guess that’s not much when you consider people like movie stars, Oprah, Donald Trump, etc. I am selling ours for $223,500. Want to buy it?

China has 1.3 BILLION people. Talk about problems.
In Zimbabwe the life expectancy is 35 years old, and the unemployment rate there
is 80%.
There was 80% unemployments here in the USA when FDR was in office - much less now.

The widely stated accusation that plastic bags kill 100,000 animals and a million seabirds every year are false, experts have (scientists) told The Times of London. They pose only a minimal threat to most marine species, including seals, whales, dolphins and seabirds.Retailers and some pressure groups, including the Campaign to Protect Rural England, threw their support behind him, and similar movements have spread across the United States.
But scientists, politicians and marine experts attacked the British government for joining a “bandwagon” based on poor science.
“The Government is irresponsible to jump on a bandwagon that has no base in scientific evidence,” said Lord Taverne, the chairman of Sense about Science. “This is one of many examples where you get bad science
leading to bad decisions which are counter-productive.

It’s not the Chinese “people” I am angry with, nor should outsiders be angry with the “American people.”
It’s the almighty dollar and those who control the most of it that are to blame.
I want to know why we trade with China. A communist country-bad dog food that killed our dogs, toys that are dangerous for children, and now people close to me being taken off critical medications because ingredients were made in China and are dangerous!
I know why “they” trade with China. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Let’s close another American company and move to China where we can get things made cheaper, with less quality, and oftentimes life threatening!
Oh well, if it makes some richer, isn’t that enough? Not for me.
We are among the working poor - dragged down by rising prices on everything. Making less money, with less benefits that 3 years ago.
Could this be the beginning of the end? Though my comments are written with intense belief and fire,
I will not drag my life down, nor the lives of those who are in my world, with a negative face and heart.
I will rise above the distress and take life moment by moment, with a good attitude. That is how I
cope and enjoy the MOMENTS of my life on this planet.
