Today is the last chance, and it is not a very good one. Wine on the patio last evening was good, and this morning it is cool, so coffee outside was pleasant.
Life goes on, until it doesn't.

South Texas has had quite a lot of major flooding events recently. It's become rather absurd to speak of a hundred year flood, since it seems to happen every other year now. We have not gotten our share of the rainfall, and if nothing happens today or tomorrow we revert to dry and hot again. These days will be our last best chances. It IS cloudy and humid this morning, but it was like that yesterday morning, and we got nothing.
Serious flooding in south and central Texas. We might get some of that rain, as a low moves north from that area. What and how much we get today, tomorrow, and over the weekend will probably be determined by the track of that low pressure system. Our below average temperatures continue.
How much longer can this crap drag on? Of course, I refer to the World Cup. What kind of a hopeless dork does it take to have an interest in soccer? It's been sold to the sports enthusiasts, over a period of time, promoted, propagandized, and now it's just another way for the networks to make money. Most things in the country only exist to sell advertising or make money in some other way. NFL? Just a vehicle for advertising and marketing. All sports are essentially like that-- the actual spectacle is shit, but the money to be made is the justification for that shit. As in religion, there's a whole lot of brainwashing going on. And that applies to war as well. It has to be sold, and generally it is very easy to sell. And the money to be made in war goes way beyond the take from sports and religion. But only about one percent of the population gets fat on war, sports, religion. The overwhelming majority are simply suckers, and they lose. In order to have a nation, you really need a whole lot of suckers. A whole lot of sheep. A whole lot of cannon fodder. A whole lot of not overly bright or well-informed people who can be easily exploited. That's how it works, and this is what you realize, when you cut through the crap, and see things as they really are.
It's like the song says, it's flooding down in Texas. We have below average temps this week and persistent rain chances, and we've already had a good rain and we could have another, but we are right on the edge of the area, a large one, that could experience flooding. All of that is south of us. I can't believe that the World Cup crap is still going on, as well as that other thing, that abominable clusterfuck "over there". When the petroleum reserves are depleted, and they will be, soon, then the shit really hits the fan. The pathetic delusional halfwit stumbles on and on, fucking this up, fucking that up, fucking up all that it touches, and still the morons cheer-- I suppose. Rumors suggest that at least some of them are waking up and smelling the shitstorm. The true shitstorm will soon be upon us, I suspect. And none of this was necessary. The rationale was an invention, a lie, a complete and total LIE. A foul and filthy LIE.
