Old scams and new scams Christmas music at the gym. It seems to be good to sweat by. For pumping iron. Fine weather continues. Only minor temperature variations. A very gentle roller coaster so far, in terms of our temperature variations. May it remain like that! Surely global warming can deliver a year with no significant wintery conditions, as far south as I am. Surely.
Our fine weather continues. Plenty of sunshine, cool, but not what I would consider cold. Satisfactory.
Cool and damp and cloudy but it all turns around tomorrow and we might have along spell of above average temps again. That works for me.
Not as cold as the local forecasts had it this morning, well above freezing. That is good. Maybe very light snow flurries to our north but even that is iffy. I am still hoping for a very mild winter here. A couple of things I have hanging on a fence got a bit tilted last night, tilted in opposite directions, so no wind involved and there is nothing near them that could have touched them. A very mystery! What agency was at work, what forces could have been at work? Other objects near them were not affected at all. These things are the metal parts of very old rakes, missing the wooden handles, and suspended against the fence near each other, so that the heavy parts of these rakes would be like pendula, and they would have had to move against the resistance imposed by the rough surface of the fence, so some non-negligible force would have been required, and as I say, one was canted about twenty degrees out of vertical and the other the same, but in the opposite sense, so that the ends with the tines formed an inverted "v" pointing UP. In fact these things are attached to the fence with decking screws tight enough to allow these objects to hold their current tilted positions. A microcosmic mystery indeed!
I think we are all expected to shop until we drop, and spend, spend, spend. To hell with that crap. Thanksgiving was pleasant. It will turn a bit cold this weekend. I'm eating leftovers. Pleasant company, some traditions remain intact. I did not watch a moment of football. I ignored that tradition, as usual. Rather gloomy today. I hit the weights this morning. Can't go to the gym today. I went Wednesday and tried to make it count. I'll do a lot of reading. If there's more football this weekend I'll be ignoring that as well. I'll be ignoring the Super Bowl and New Year's means nothing to me. A witless celebration in my opinion. I don't much like this time of year.
I think it should be OK. The weather is fine. The day is sunny. I'll eat well. My ducks are still in a row and they look healthy.
And skies this morning are clear and temps remain well above seasonal averages. The Canadian geese are back, in full force. They are very loud when they fly overhead.
Not heavy rain but light showers off and on, probably ending tonight. Be thankful for whatever we can get, I guess. Thanksgiving approaching. I will do no shopping, as usual. Avoid that like the very plague. We might get freezing temps next week, heading into December. Nothing extreme in the forecast. Highs will be well above freezing.
Not much rain. Maybe by the weekend. Hard to believe that it is Friday again. The weeks whizz by so quickly! That old clock on the wall pisses me off. Fighting entropy is rather exhausting. After all these years I still can't see a point to any of this. Of course, there IS no point. If you think you see a point you are delusional.
Cloudy today! Good rain chances tomorrow! No freeze during the next week, no snow or ice in the forecast, and all that is good.
My image files are all back to normal, no issues. But for a while yesterday, the directories appeared to be empty! And then it all came back, just as it was, all directories intact and all the files present. How strange! Nice weather continues with rain chances later today and much better odds of getting rain tomorrow. Seasonal temps next week but that's not bad at all. No freezes. Sweater weather at worst, or best, depending on how you like cool weather. Cool but not cold by any means. NICE.
