Yes, heat the rest of this week but relief on the weekend. Despite the heat, coffee on the patio this morning-- iced coffee, was enjoyable. Critter visits continue. I had three skunks out there one morning last week. Skunks are actually quite clean and inoffensive if you don't bother them. And they are not bothered by a mere human presence. I can see that they might be easy to tame. But I'm not going to do that. Sometimes I have a couple of racoons and sometimes a possum or two. This is vastly better than a human presence. Any human I'd find out there, would be a good candidate for a bullet. Trespassing is a big deal in Texas. And I do have signs posted. But I do like living on the edge of town, for all practical purposes. How I hate developers. I hope the development plague will never intrude upon my neighborhood. I still say, the only good developer is one with a bullet in his or her brain. I say that about a lot of people. Well well, we don't want to trend negative. I've consulted the I Ching with the eight coin method, and I understand something about my current state and what I'm engaged in. And I'm reminded of the middle path, the path of reason and moderation. And that is the path I must adhere to. Despite violent impulses. Self-control!
I have several options for the day's activities. This is not a gym day, so finding time will be no problem.
