Still No Freeze

 Plenty of sunshine today and we start a warming trend. Great way to end October. 

No First Freeze

 We came close to it. Warming now. Pretty nice weather, actually. I'm about to take another step toward eighty years old. It is getting closer and closer and I can detect changes. Very irritating. Life, the universe, and everything, impresses me, more and more, as a cosmic mistake. An aging body is not a good thing to inhabit. 

There must be something about TikTok that attracts dumbshits and crazies-- more so than other social media platforms. 

Cool Dry Windy Sunny

 This is quite a nice October day, Not many of those left in this year. Maybe the official first freeze tomorrow morning. And then some milder conditions and some warming again. But mornings stay cool and it will cool again just before sunset. This is Ray Bradbury weather. This is "October Game" weather. And I'm not talking about football. Texas Tech is doing well. In the past when they've ranked high they've dropped the ball, no pun intended, and they would fall apart more and more as the season neared its end. I hope that won't happen this time. It would be nice to see them in a high-ranked post season bowl this time. I'm not much of a fan but the sheer novelty would be fun. 

Meanwhile, I care less and less about more and more. 

It's A Great October Day

 All manner of good thing accomplished, too. I've moved forward on so many fronts I'm in danger of fragmenting. Problems solved! I always like that. An experiment is underway, too. The results might be exciting. I must be patient. 

As for as this experiment is concerned the hard work is done. 

Cool Cloudy Windy Damp

 Some light rain overnight but the chances of additional rain today are good and there is even a slight chance of severe storms. Heavy rain would be enough for me. Tomorrow it warms and clears again. And it will probably be a nice weekend. 

Let us have no more talk of raptures. Let the Tok turkeys keep their pathetic yaps buttoned. 

Fine Morning

 Plenty of October to go around. It was quite cool. 

No Kings

I'm perfectly in favor of "no kings" or any other form of resistance to antidemocratic authoritarian regimes. The world fought a war against fascism back in the day, and for good reason. There always seem to be people around who can't wait to kiss some dictator's ass, and eat shit. And we have no shortage of people who want to make other people eat their shit. It makes one want to say, "I will not serve." Let the state serve the people. Of course, when you have so many loony toons running around, like the rapture freaks who got shafted yet again, nothing is likely to work very well. Will there be a FOURTH rapture date set? Of course. This sort of nonsense has been going on for a very long time. Meanwhile, we have a very nice day today. That norther made it through and it is cool and breezy, with plenty of sunshine after an overnight rain. FINE October weather!

There have always been goofballs around, but with social media, these crazies are able to communicate with each other and find validation from other crazies and half-wits. Social media just might destroy civilization. It just might. 

Warm Today Cooler This Weekend

 Drifting slowly off into lower temperatures, by degrees. Ha. 

See, I was talking about temperatures changing and then I said "by degrees". Ha. 

Almost Perfect

 These October days have been almost perfect. The evenings and mornings, especially, have been very, very, fine. 

I'm quite satisfied with the state of my secret garden as winter approaches. 

Sunny Cool

 Total change this morning. Quite cool and sunny. But good rain yesterday. Can't complain. 

This ought to be a pretty fine week, in terms of our weather. Perfect for October. 

Gloomy Wet Cloudy

 No heavy rains, just light drizzle, foggy mist, and clouds but the rest of this month is looking quite good. Very good, in fact. I've surveyed the yard in back and it seems to me that nothing is left but detail work and routine maintenance. That's OK with me. Maybe I'll think of something else to do back there, some innovation of some sort. Whatever. I have not heard much about any raptures lately. The revised date came and went with the usual failure. But a brand new end times cult seems to be forming. Cults seem to be a dime a dozen. Some are quite dangerous but most are only destructive to the poor folks who get drawn into one. A long time ago I dated a women who claimed to have escaped from a cult but she seemed to be looking for another one. What scared me was when she said I reminded her of that cult's leader. Oh no. I believe she ended up in Colorado and got into mystical healing via electronic music. I introduced her to electronic music by playing for her one of my own compositions. I hope that worked out well for her. She was a nice lady. 

Maybe she became the leader of her very own cult. 

No Mass Shooting

 Not here, that I am aware of, but I have not checked the local news yet. I ventured forth to get something from Home Depot and right away had to make way for an ambulance. And then more sirens while I departed Home Depot. People get all hopped up on Homecoming football mania and drive fast and drive crazy. Yes, yes, evidence every day that most people are idiots. But at least I don't think we had a mass shooting. Cool morning and a nice evening last evening, again, and a red sky at sunrise today. What does that mean? Gee, I'd call it a blazing red sky. I'm glad I don't have my shrimp boat out today!

Many will go to church this morning and pray to the LORD to protect their guns. 

Homecoming

 Homecoming weekend in Raider Land and I've never been able to understand what that is all about. Trivial and stupid, isn't it? And what does football have to do with academia? College football just illustrates how seriously defective the quotidian human brain is. Good time to avoid the area around campus, that's for sure. It's one of those stupid, ritual, cultish, tribal things I guess. But you can SMELL the excite-MINTS! The stink of excite-MINTS is in the very air we breathe! Wheeee! Woooo! I'll just take a pass on that. Nice morning! Nice evening last evening, even though temps are above average. That's to be expected. Global warming is real, and human "civilization" is the reason, the cause, of that warming. I have no doubt whatsoever. But on to other topics!

A cursory examination is sufficient to reveal what a shoddy, defective, piece of crap the human body really is. Do NOT talk to me about intelligent design. It's a ticky tacky universe, as far as one can see. 99.999999999% of it, at least, is absolutely lethal to any form of life, and the parts that are hospitable to life are only barely hospitable, and then only for a short time, and always under the threat of sudden annihilation. So feel free to get blind stinking drunk, stuff your face with garbage and enjoy you some of that there football whoop-te-dooo!
