It was an evening of tiny storms! Outflow winds, rumbles of thunder! But not much rain. Maybe a light muddy sprinkle on a few scattered areas amounting to one or two square miles here and there, few and far between. But it was an odd end to an odd day, and today I see signs that there will be a celebration of some sort this weekend. What about, I wonder. China just recently got a piece of our asses, and Israel's dick was still sticking up in there, and that must have been awkward. But the minions are numb and dumb. You could cut off their dicks and serve them in hot dog buns and call it a trumpdawg and they'd eat it up with glee. "Hot damn! I got me a trumpdawg!" Don't get me started. Actually, I like the idea of a disciplined socialist state with a huge and very intelligent population eclipsing the "west" permanently. That might be the greatest gift maga jesus confers upon us, the final decline of the west and the end of Christendom. And many other things as well. I don't think the minions will notice. They'll be too busy chowing down on their trumpdawgs. I guess I'm in a bad mood because, although it looked a lot like rain yesterday, only nada did appear, in a cloud of dust. I might do a 180 tomorrow, if it would only rain. At least I still have my shaving mug, and my shaves are pure and good. And coffee. And wine. And books. And all these things and many another thing, are all pure and good. Seek you that which is pure and good! Rejoice in those things that are pure and good!

Hot Dry Windy
Hot dry windy and overcast. Odd quality to the light today. An odd ambience. A day with a quality of strangeness. Sometimes I like that sort of day and sometimes I do not. I have not made my mind up about this day. The world seems fragile on a day like this, and reality seems to be on the edge of a precipice. I've done what little I had to do today and the rest of the day is mine. I try to relax, I try to not worry. On such a day the illusion of control is especially thin, the walls between worlds seem less than substantial.
And yet, and yet, my shaves remain very satisfying, and the ritual is comforting. Some day you shall see, that of which I have spoken! You shall see and you shall believe! SOME day! Some DAY! But today everything seems as shaky as the Wimberly Dam.

Flying Saucers
These UFO dumps are pure garbage. But i guess they make a good distraction. It will be very hot now. Hot and dry. The heat sets in early this year. I remember the Bicentennial. I remember best of all the Viking Mars landers. Now THAT was exciting. The rest of it I dismissed as nationalistic swill. And that is precisely what it was. And that is what "250" will be. Unless the festive spirits encounter some sort of obstacle. Empty shelves? Fuel shortages? Gasoline hard to find and hard to afford? Diesel even pricier and even scarcer? Massive casualties? Chaos and catastrophe? Tough to say. None of those things would surprise me. Even SOSO would be nothing to celebrate. In order to celebrate, it will probably be necessary to indulge in fantasy. And I'm sure the corporate media machine will be happy to provide the requisite fantasy.
By golly! I managed to get a photo of a crashed flying saucer!
This is the sort of analysis that the minions are too dense to understand.

Hot Weathr!
By Wednesday we get a taste of scorching summer, and then declining temps again as another norther moves in , but we won't be getting any "cooling"-- more like moderation and modulation, from hot to warm. Comfortable mornings remain and no rain. Of course, no rain. Anybody who celebrates "250" this July would have to be a freaking moron. But of freaking morons we do have an ample supply. But maybe events will be such that not even freaking morons will find anything to celebrate. That would be fine with me.
Coffee on the patio this morning! Surrounded already by greenery! And almost all of it is edible, and tasty, and very healthy. Wine on the patio this evening, I'm sure. Of course, needless to say but I'll say it anyway, I had myself a luxurious shave this morning. I did quite well at the gym yesterday. I've already accomplished everything that needed my attention today. Plenty of time to read and relax. But I'll probably do some moderate weights later.
And let us never forget: ALL nations are evil, but some are more evil than others.

Heavy Dew
That's something to get excited about. No rain no rain so the next best thing is DEW. Clouds this morning rapidly burn off and we'll be having some record highs this week. And, no rain. Rotten corrupt corporate media has not much to say about anything of any importance, tossing out tabloid trash instead of news. Flying saucers and celebrity garbage. Very little about the ongoing war, pretending that all is well when it is clearly NOT. Appease the moron masses, keep the sheep in the pen. Bury the truth because it's dangerous. And so it goes.
