IDIOTS

 TTUHSC/UMC is under a ransomware attack. Just recently they digitized everything and were so proud to be "paper free". And I say, that was an IDIOT move. And I wonder about the competence of their IT department. This should never have happened. This is what you get when half-wits decide to do the digital dance and become "paper free". IDIOTS. 

I wonder whether people are still able to get their prescriptions refilled? I wonder about all the people who had procedures pending? I think once this is cleared up, IF it can be cleared up, there should be a mass purge of the administration and IT staff-- at least use paper records as a backup. IDIOTS. 

SOSO

 Terrific mornings and evenings and mild, warm, days. No dust in the air. Rain would be nice. Very dry again, but it's great to be out of the August heat. I like it. 

I like IT and IT likes me. And I like IT like THAT. So THERE. 

Well...

 We are having really fine weather, with sweater mornings and t-shirt days. And excellent evenings. All is calm. Only negatives are the lack of rainfall recently-- any significant rainfall-- and the mosquitos. The little buggers are still around and West Nile is still a hazard. 

And these conditions are expected to continue right into the early part of October. No change in sight! Maybe this winter we can be spared the single digit arctic blasts, and the bomb cyclones??

Another Norther!

 It is a cool and refreshing morning! This is a dry norther though. We had some rain earlier, but not enough. Maybe someday. 

Some DAY. SOME day. 

Fall Unfolds

 It is going down quite nicely. Somewhat cloudy today. Moderate temps and breezy. 

October will be here soon. 

Fall Has Arrived!

 Fall, best of all, is looking and feeling the way it should. Cool and rainy yesterday, sunny and cool today and very refreshing. The rest of September looks very good. October, of course, is my favorite month, and I'm always reminded of Ray Bradbury's excellent fiction. October has ALWAYS been my favorite month, as far back as I can remember. October is special. And July is the absolute pits. 

November and December have their charms as well. 

A Nice Change!

 That system finally moved in and it rained a little overnight, more rain is in prospect, and the next few days will be on the cool side. The home team had a big home game yesterday. Odds are, somebody won.  In the big wide world War Rogers rides again. Somebody ought to kill that SOB. Odds are, either nobody will win or somebody will be delusional enough to proclaim that they won. Sad song. SOSO. A curse upon them all. But in another conflict, I certainly DO want one side to crush the other. Go Ukraine! Closer to home, I have not much to do today. I can really chill out with my current books, my guitars, and my chess books, to study  the great master games of the past. I love chess. I've got my Quote Acrostic puzzles, too. I really like doing those. 

I'm also taking a break from the weights this weekend. I really do think I sometimes overdo it. I still haven't accepted limitations due to age. But if I hurt myself that would be a big setback, and I don't want that!

I Hate The Rate Cut

 I feel like savers are being shafted to favor the spenders. The economy runs on spenders, I guess. I am happy though, to contribute nothing at all to economic growth. Not as hot today but humidity is very high and rain later would not surprise me at all. It SHOULD be much cooler tomorrow. Cool and wet, in fact. Maybe it will be like that for several days. I guess I'm as ready as I can be. It's been too hot and too dry lately.

I got a lot accomplished today but it was kind of a sweaty business. 

Hot Day

 Rather hot yesterday and hot again today but improvements after this. I think September will feature above average temperatures. And maybe October as well. And November! And...

I got an important bit of business taken care of early today, and now I can relax. I plan to chill out most of the day, do a lot of reading, play some guitar, study master chess games, do some of my weights. I WILL relax! And keep it SIMPLE!
