Locked In

 No change. Day after day almost precisely the same, but it's a comfortable pattern. The only bad part is the lack of rain. Otherwise perfect. Perfect mornings and perfect evenings and warm days. Winds are moderate and no dust in the air. How long can this go on?







I suspect that when change comes it will be dramatic. I noted that the toilet paper was sold out yesterday. I didn't need any, because I've learned that any little "event" will set off the toilet paper panic buying, so I have an ample stock, as a hedge against the idiots. So it seems that lots of people are expecting the immanent "rapture of the church" and have gone on a toilet paper spree. How long will THAT last? It's good to know though, that even in heaven shitting will continue. How comforting! Ahhhh!

Stasis

 One day is much like the next. 







It's just a bit too warm.

Monotony!

 Our weather pattern marches on with no change. We could sure use some rain. Very dry now. Cool mornings and warm days with a nice cool down in the late evening. It's very comfortable in the morning to work outside and that's what I have been doing.

Cool Mornings, Warm Days, Pleasant Evenings

 No rain. The playa lakes are going dry again. Nice enough weather but rain is needed. I did some work outside this morning and it was cool. Yesterday evening I revised the paved path I made much earlier this year. I noted some very aggressive climbing vines spreading here and there and that's something I want very much. I have not seen that before. Small leaves, rather arrowlike in shape. I hope it will flower at some point. I want that stuff to take over in the back yard.

A Weak Norther

Weak or not the north wind was chilly this morning but high temps continue above normal. and the air remains dry. This is the first day of my favorite month, and I hope to savor each and every day of October, especially the last one. Lots of good memories there. 







 I remember October of 1957, and Sputnik! That was an exciting time.
