HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – A headline today reads, “Hawaii Becomes First State To Ban Plastic Bags.” Yet, another headline from 2014 reads, “California Becomes First State to Ban Plastic Bags.” Both headlines are from The Huffington Post.
Perhaps Huffington Post Hawaii is not talking to Huffington Post U.S. Mainland?
We’ll let our readers decide on which is more credible: Huffington Post or Huffington Post.
BARCELONA, Spain (The Adobo Chronicles) – In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) formally defined “planet,” and the new definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a member of the new “dwarf planet” category. It was a move that disappointed many Plutonians.
Discovered in 1930, Pluto was originally considered the ninth planet from the sun. Many generations that preceded the millennials learned this from their science class and nothing — not even the declaration from the IAU — could change their vew of the planet world.
Schools, libraries, book publishers and Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) have banded together to protest Pluto’s declassification as a planet, arguing that the IAU move would result in astronomical costs to replace long-held planetary information in textbooks, film documentaries and other scientific educational materials.
Today, after almost a decade being bombarded with complaints and protests, the IAU relented and officially returned Pluto to its original planet status. The decision was announced at the IAU annual meeting being held in Barcelona, Spain.
On 14 July 2015, the Pluto system is due to be visited by spacecraft for the first time. The New Horizons probe will perform a flyby during which it will attempt to take detailed measurements and images of Pluto and its moons.
Pluto’s back with a vengeance!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (The Adobo Chronicles) – The United States is probably still decades away from being able to predict earthquakes, but it already has the technology to alter the weather and atmosphere.
The Air Force has been doing it for years as part of the $300 Million High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) in Gakona, Alaska.
David Walker, deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for science, technology and engineering, dropped a bombshell in answer to a question asked during a congressional hearing in relation to the dismantling of HAARP this summer.
Walker said this is “not an area that we have any need for in the future” and it would not be a good use of Air Force research funds to keep HAARP going. “We’re moving on to other ways of managing the ionosphere, which the HAARP was really designed to do,” he said, “is to inject energy into the ionosphere to be able to actually control it. But that work has been completed.”
Indeed, the work has been completed and California has been on the receiving end of the weather-altering technology. The Golden State is now experiencing the worst drought in its history.
The Adobo Chronicles learned from confidential sources that the Air Force project was jointly funded by the Alaska state government way back when Sarah Palin was governor. She apparently was jealous that California was outpacing Alaska as the country’s largest and most successful economy. Palin wanted Alaska to have that distinction so that she would have something to boast about during her candidacy for vice president.
But everything has backfired. Aside from causing the drought in California, HAARP has also led to the unstoppable melting of ice in Alaska.
The Obama administration is reportedly preparing to sue Palin in federal court for economic sabotage and conspiracy to bring about severe weather disturbance.
