Just another atom-packed girl trying to figure out where I end and you begin...And using it all as an excuse to pack my brain with input from more social media.

@SLCScanner I read that they were doing a flyover for the Real Salt Lake soccer game.

These jets are at 6300 ft basically 2000ft up and 500mph

@IrnaEnglish I’m trying to find an Iranian perspective (YouTube) in English for my 16 year old to balance the US propoganda. Struggling!!!

We can refill the Great Salt Lake.

This month, Rainmaker began the largest cloud seeding project in modern American history. With Utah and Idaho, we are enhancing snowpack across 7,500 square miles of the Bear River Basin.

@RainmakerCorp deployed a fleet of specialized cloud seeding drones, boutique meteorological sensors, and radar across the region. Our dozens of mountaineering Forward Operating Specialists, many of whom were born in Utah, are working around the clock with this hardware to do one thing: make snow.

We do so not merely for better powder days at Rocky Mountain ski resorts. We're working to producing freshwater for over a million people in the region. Their farms, ranches, industry, and even their homes need more water.

Due to decreasing natural precipitation and increased demand for water, the Great Salt Lake is in a deficit of ~400 billion gallons annually. If it continues to dry, not only will Utah and Idaho's economic growth stall and fall, but toxic arsenic particulate from the exposed lakebed will go airborne and cause asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer throughout the region.

Economizing water us is part of what it means to be a good steward of our God given resources, but reducing consumption alone will not suffice. We must make more water, so @RainmakerCorp will make more snow.

With the research-grade radar, constellation of sensors, and 3rd party assessment from academic institutions, @RainmakerCorp is bringing rigor and physical measurement of our results that is unprecedented in operational cloud seeding history.

Forecasting the weather is difficult, let alone modifying it, and we will face challenges throughout this winter. But, Rainmakers will work diligently and unrelentingly to bring water to the American people and environment across the Bear River Basin. And, we will continue to do so even after we have secured abundant freshwater for generations to come. As the season progresses, we'll update you on our progress.

Thank you to our partners in Utah and Idaho, particularly the state meteorologist, @GovCox , and @GovernorLittle .

Thank you to the Rainmakers (and their families!) that have worked so hard to standup this project. Blessing to work with you all.

Lets make it snow.

#OTD 1/31/1848, JC Frémont—American military officer and mapmaker—was court-martialed for mutiny and disobeying orders. The dispute was over the governing authority in California, recently ceded to the US by Mexico. See Fremont’s 1848 map of the West: https://t.co/1xiTGHhCvN

In this 1847 map, Mexico’s territory extends well beyond its present day borders. Several of the insets on this map are illustrated in such a way that it appears they are on scrolls of parchment. Quite unique!

It’s not that all @WSJ stories are fake, but they are almost all mean-spirited and deceptive

It’s amazing how many people would prefer to coerce others than to tolerate the freedom of others in exchange for their own.

[Mikhaila Peterson @MikhailaFuller]

Wow. @jordanbpeterson got a twitter strike. No more twitter until he deletes the tweet. Definitely not a free speech platform at the moment @elonmusk

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

The instrument platform of the 305m telescope at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico fell overnight. No injuries were reported. NSF is working with stakeholders to assess the situation. Our top priority is maintaining safety. NSF will release more details when they are confirmed.

Today, I say to Mitch McConnell: Do your job. Let us pass the HEROES Act or legislation that is even better. But, for once in your life, stop worrying about your billionaire campaign contributors, and respond to the needs of working families.

Here and now in the 21st century, with the help of what scientists have learned about the brain, we need to learn how to achieve peace of mind. This is crucial, since world peace can only be built by individuals who are at peace with themselves.
