Is It Over Yet?

 Obviously not. Cloudy and humid this morning. And it is supposed to be a very hot day. Temps go up and down. No rain clouds last evening. Maybe the air is a little drier. I think we have pretty good rain chances for the weekend though.

I remember when Texas Tech's great claim to fame was ICASALS. I never hear anything about that anymore. We used to have an astronomy department and a telescope in a small observatory but the telescope is long gone and TTU might not have an astronomy program anymore. I haven't bothered to check. Lubbock is no longer the City of Mums. How that got started I never learned. The ABC rodeo is still around, I think, but I do not believe that it is the BIG DEAL it used to be. The Panhandle South Plains Fair is still around and it is still an attraction every September. Been there and done that and I see no reason to do it again. SOSO. I prefer the memories. I guess, even though we are Israel's puppet state, with both major political parties controlled by AIPAC and billionaire Zionists, not much will change on the surface. Endless war in the cesspool that is the Mideast is guaranteed, but endless war has been the norm since WWII. And most of those wars were pointless. We lost in Vietnam, decisively, but nobody wants to tell the truth about that. Afghanistan was a bloody waste, and another loss, but I think if the right people profit then it doesn't matter. As long as someone is making money, war is OK, whether we win it in any sense or not. SOMEBODY wins, SOMEBODY is going to be richer. And that seems to be the point. That big fat aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford was a piece of shit from the very beginning. It turned out to be worthless. But the right people made lots of money on it, pocketing taxpayer dollars, so it was all OK. Who cares as long as the Epstein classes get richer, eh? America is a joke at this point, a total farce, a clown show. Those old star and bars don't mean shit. Or so it seems to me, a bitter and disenchanted old man with a grudge against almost everything. Almost. 

As far as I'm concerned, you flag waving "patriots" can take your red white and blue and shove it. Go kiss some Zionist ass. If they'll let you, since they would probably consider you unclean. If I'm not mistaken, goyim is equivalent to dog. So be a good dog. Sit and beg. 

Unusual!

 The weather is unusual. It is very humid, very cloudy, and each evening there is a thunderstorm near us. Last evening it was stormy north of us. Heavy clouds and thunder. This evening it might be on top of us. The day is cloudy enough, and humid enough. Anything could happen. Temperature swings from day to day have also been rather dramatic. Is it El Nino, then? Or is it the arts? I was up before sunrise again, not even 5 in the morning and I was up and about. But I was in bed by nine. That works for me. I like the early morning. 

You know, it is even cloudier today than it was yesterday at this time. As much as it has rained, the playa lakes are still not as full as I would like to see them. I like to see them on the verge of overflow. I remember when they DID overflow, and flood surrounding streets. Those were the days! I think it has been about a dozen years since that happened. We would sometimes have epic rainfall. It would be nice to have epic rainfall this summer. It might be the last time I get to experience such a thing. 

Why don't we all hold our breath, and pray for rain? A LOT of rain!

It's Beyond Doubt

 Zionists OWN this country. Celebrate that this July 4th, if that's what you want. Got a pro-Israel pastor? You've got a traitor posturing behind that pulpit. Or so it seems to me, and to many others:

What, if anything, you do about it is up to you. It seems to be a done deal. On to the weather! Muggy morning! It feels tropical out there. It'll be a hot day. All I want to do is hold things together in my own backyard, figuratively and literally. And that is sometimes quite a struggle. 

Maybe accept reality and start learning Hebrew? You can do it if you  try...

Yet More Rain

 We actually had a thunderstorm shortly after sunset and it rained again, quite a lot of rain. If we weren't soaked before, we are certainly soaked now. But now the trend is toward drier air and scanty rain chances and higher temperatures, and I'm ready for that. Too humid lately and I'm tired of the rain. Yes, too much of a good thing. 

It's interesting that this week the rain chances do not go to zero. And we'll avoid the triple digits. 

Wow! 100 days of war, and we haven't won 1 fucking thing but humiliation, a dead aircraft carrier, a lot of money down the toilet, Russia and Iran making a deal that will guarantee Iran keeps its nuclear program, a dozen or more downed aircraft, at least 400 US casualties, and who knows how many dead because nobody's talking, apart from spinning tall tales and outright lies. Way to go. No end in sight. Oh say can you see? But don't worry! It'll be over in a few more days. Just as it was over a few days ago, and a few days before that, and a few days before that, and a few days before that--- because Marco "Mutt" Rubio said so. Over and over again, since the war began, 100 days ago. Dream on. 

So Much Rain!

 So much rain this morning! The best yet. I suspect that playa lakes will now be in good shape. Sunday we begin to have a change to warm and dry conditions, with much lower humidity and higher temperatures. It was quite cool this morning as well as very wet. We are soaked and really need to dry a bit. It's been cloudy for a long time, too, and it will be good to have a bit of sunshine.
