Turning Much Warmer

 Maybe record heat soon. Could be a hot Christmas. Or at least warmer than normal by a large margin. I find this weather salubrious, to say the least, being such a hater of winter weather. BUT, it is very, very, dry, and that is NOT good! Unfortunately, any precipitation we receive at this time of year is likely to be in the form of snow, sleet, freezing rain. I can do without that stuff, dry or not. 





I was saddened to hear that Joe Ely has died. I remember him when he performed at a little coffee house when I was a Freshman here. His health apparently became very poor.

Got My Flu Vaccination

 I did that several days ago. It's been so long since I've had the flu, or even a cold, I can't recall the last time. Was it maybe 2016. Maybe 2006? Not in the last eight years, certainly. I'm not afraid of vaccines. I keep expecting to see Polio make a comeback. I had all the Polio vaccines in my childhood, as they became available. Very nice weather continues, with highs much above normal for the season. Too dry though. Someone gifted me with a fruitcake and how good it is. I was not expecting that. A gift from family. The best kind. We might have some record high temps before Christmas but I'm worried about what might follow. Sooner or later, one of those stupid winter things will probably strike. So far they've been scooting off to the east and staying well north.

Pleasant Weather Continues

 It looks as though we will be sailing right into Christmas with temps well above average. But it will remain very dry. That is the only problem. 





There is not much going on here. I like that!

A Season For Scams

 Old scams and new scams Christmas music at the gym. It seems to be good to sweat by. For pumping iron. Fine weather continues. Only minor temperature variations. A very gentle roller coaster so far, in terms of our temperature variations. May it remain like that! Surely global warming can deliver a year with no significant wintery conditions, as far south as I am. Surely.

Our Fine Weather

 Our fine weather continues. Plenty of sunshine, cool, but not what I would consider cold. Satisfactory. 





It likes me.
