CumuloNimbus from airliner high above the Gulfo de Mxico


Cloud's upward climb stops abruptly at the top of the troposphere where we, and our weather, live

... The cloud had grown so tall that its upper layers had all frozen, giving its top a fibrous appearance, defining it as the capillatus species of Cumulonimbus. It had reached the very top of the troposphere, where the growth of clouds is capped beneath a layer of stable air that causes storm clouds to spread out sideways...

The first thing I would do in 2028 is get rid of the childish stupidity of the Dotard regime:
Change the name back to what it is,
Demo the Rose Garden and and restore it to what it once was; a beautiful Jackie Kennedy inspired place of trees and flowers, not the concrete shitstain Melaria put in.
Demo the ball room and install cubicles for the hiring of a couple thousand FBI agents to investigate every single Repuke involved in corruption and treason against the USA.
Get rid of EVERY piece of fake gold GARBAGE in the oval office. Short list, they'll be TONS of work to erase the trash left behind by the childish, treasonous IMBECILE.


Beautiful photo, however!
