Record Heat

 In a supermarket yesterday I saw many people who seemed very happy and perky. There were also some empty spots on the shelves, and I noted higher prices on several items. I had to wonder what world those happy people thought they were living in. I felt good because I was able to find what I wanted and get out with no problems. Maybe they were just living in their personal "now" and things were going well in their little world. I approach things the same way. My world is well-ordered and as secure as I can make it. One can only do so much. I've been through a lot of crazy shit, and I've noted that the same crazy and stupid shit tends to repeat itself. From Viet Nam to the present, it's the same crazy and stupid shit wearing a slightly different mask each time it comes around. It must have something to do with human nature. We are the authors of crazy shit. Humans create crazy shit and are doomed by our natures to live in crazy shit and eat crazy shit and frequently die because of the crazy shit we generate. So it has always been, and so it shall ever be, until the last poor monkey dies of crazy shit poisoning. 

Record heat. It has not felt so bad. No rain no rain. So be it. The clusterfuck is still clustering and still fucking. So be it. It is all very human. 

People are going to do what people do best: breed, and kill each other. Truly, we are made in the image of GOD! Sarcasm. 

Big Differences!

 Now, we are getting nearly 50 degree F temperature differences between morning lows and daytime highs. Truly a desert climate. Maybe a slight chance of rain a week from now. Maybe. 

Well, I predicted a clusterfuck and I was right. Sometimes I do not like being right. 

More Truth to Power

Cool Mornings Hot Days Continue

 No rain no rain no rain. Pray for rain! Praying for peace is, as always, a complete waste of time. But sooner or later it will rain and you might as well enjoy the delusion that your prayers made a difference, and if you've been casting spells you can enjoy the delusion that your "magic" made a difference. And so it goes. I'll water again today. Because the rain is staying away. 

By the way, is Uri Geller still alive? Is he still bending spoons? Is he still praying for peace?

More Reality?

 Retreat?

Does that translate into losing?

I wouldn't expect any denizen of the insane asylum we know as MAGALAND to get any of it. 

Same Old Same Old. Again.

 I've decided to do things a little differently. It has to do with my exercise routine. I hate going to the gym but I must. But I don't think I need to go as often. I'm going to try two intense sessions per week and use more of my own weights here at home. In the gym I'll concentrate on what I can't do at home. At home I'll concentrate on what I can do at home. Makes sense to me. Warm but not what I would call hot, given our low humidity. I've started watering. I've got stuff coming up and I'm going to have a somewhat limited jungle this time, but there will be enough for the atmosphere I crave. In past years it reached the point that a machete would have been helpful. A bit much. It's also time for chilled white wine, rather than the reds I consume during the winter. So, prepping for the coming summer months, and hoping for rainfall.

Meanwhile, MAGA world dreams that it is "winning". Dream on.
