More Storms More Rain

 I don't think any of last night's storms were severe. It was good to get more rain, but it really is starting to get very soggy out there. Mosquitoes are bad. If the city is too poor to pick up trash illegally dumped within the city limits, if it can't make a minimal effort to keep Lubbock clean and attractive, then I doubt that they will spray for mosquitoes, even though the mosquitoes are a public health menace. Why should a pack of self-absorbed ego-tripping fat cats give a damn about public health? I would say that Lubbock is going to the dogs because the mayor and city council are worthless. Are they corrupt as well? If so, I would not be surprised. 

Actually, grifting seems to be the name of the game at all levels of government, top to bottom. Feed thyself. Take the money and run. 

Hot

 Yes, it is hot and we do have level two severe storm chances. So it could be another round of wild weather late this afternoon. So it goes. I guess the maga morons don't understand that their country lost yet another war, and poured lives and assets down the drain in the futile effort to win that war. I guess the maga morons don't grasp that their country has been conquered by a hostile foreign power, is controlled by a hostile foreign power. Maga is nothing if not profoundly stupid. There are actually magas who think that God sends them text messages on their smart phones. Maga looks at a fat, senile, diseased career criminal and they see an emissary from on high, come to save them. But nothing can save them because they are terminally dim-witted and fated to be tools and fools. So it goes. Oh well. This is a problem I can't solve. I can just look on and shake my head. So sad. Someday that piece of crap will DIE. Will be DEAD. And what will the magas do then? I'm looking forward to higher interest rates, by the way. I did a LOT yesterday. I really worked up a sweat. I was out in the heat and doing honest work. Even at my age I am not afraid to get down and get dirty. I do NOT get out of breath. 

Unlike the top turd, who can't even walk a few steps without experiencing difficulty breathing. What a man!

Severe Storms

 I noticed clouds gathering late in the afternoon and they quickly developed into severe storms. I got rain, and not much of that, but other areas got pounded with flooding rain and large hail and damaging winds. There were also a lot of tornado warnings. It was a wild night of weather. But now it should be just hot. A hot week. Lower humidity would really help. I've learned recently that illegal dumping is rampant in Lubbock, but the city refuses to remove anything that has been illegally dumped. They've defunded Solid Waste to the extent that they lack the manpower and resources to remove the crap some people dump. The city has no problem spending on glamor projects, but the nuts and bolts of civilized society they ignore. No surprise, because our city government is packed with right wing morons. Conservative equates to shit-for-brains. Conservatives serve themselves, and that's it. No public service, but only self-service. It's basically: I've got mine and fuck the rest of you. 

Lubbock is going to the dogs. Like the country!!

Imaginary Vandals!

 Imagine that! The top turd in the outhouse imagines that. Ironic, since the top turd is his own vandal. Biggest vandal in the country right now, having trashed the white house, and virtually everything else in the capitol, and of course he's still trashing the country, and in global terms, the top turd is the biggest terrorist, apart from Benny Netanyahoo. I wonder what the magas think of all this. Oh, wait. They don't think. Hot here again but drier air and breezy, which helps, and the rest of Texas is getting a lot of rain. Maybe too much at one time, but at least they are being rained on. For them, hot, muggy, and mucky. Our norther yesterday really felt good, and today many things are wrapped up. Much accomplished. I don't think I can get into Asian philosophy, like the Tao, because I don't believe in sitting back and letting things happen. Solving problems is more important to me than inner peace. I like fixing things, and I am unable to not hate what is wrong. But I do make an effort to understand what I can change and what I can't. But I don't accept what I can't change. I would prefer to condemn and hate the evils I can't eliminate, and heap curses and maledictions on a universe that permits evil. So there. Fuck inner peace.

Can an imaginary vandal steal the handles?

First Day Of Summer

 I expected a brutal summer and it's arrived. 106 F yesterday. I note that city services are suffering due to budget cuts that result in understaffing in many departments. Solid waste, for instance, is underfunded and struggling to do their jobs. And yet all sorts of big ticket projects are being funded. It's obvious that conservatives are running the show, doing what they do best. Pillaging. Ripping off. Lining their own pockets.
