Norther

 When the norther blew in last evening it got quite chilly and we had a bit of rain. Very pleasant this morning and a little on the cool side today. We could use more rain. 

Below Normal

 We are getting heat relief. It was "vintage" again on the patio last evening. Rain chances are picking up as well. I can appreciate that. 

A HUGE Success!

 Yes, just as I predicted, the latest mutation of Starship had an amazingly successful flight! To Mars! And beyond! Not. More like a drugged up lunatic's insane dream... but the lunatic has an obscene amount of money to waste on garbage like Starship, and an ego the size of the Titanic. I hope that ego suffers a fate similar to that of the doomed Titanic. 

Or, crash and burn, like Starship. More like burn up and THEN crash. Or explode. And crash.

Storms Rain Cool

 Wild night of weather yesterday that began in the evening. Some quite severe storms in the area. I got lots of rain and today it is cool and cloudy and wet, with winds from the north and east. Nice! Memorial Day is usually hot and dry. Not this time. 

If any locals want to have a picnic somewhere, they won't be very comfortable and they might get rained on. I heard lots of emergency vehicles this morning, so the carnage has obviously begun. 

Record Heat Today

 It will be a very hot day but that changes tomorrow, and Memorial Day will be quite pleasant though there might be thunderstorms here and there. Next week looks good, with mild temps and rain chances every day. 

The air is very dry and it is breezy. That helps. 

Hot Days, Cool Mornings, Mild Evenings

 Rain chances are starting to increase. There are some heavy clouds around right now, in fact. Where it goes nobody knows. 

To Mars! And beyond! Not. 

Top Secret

 Top secret research will be coming to Lubbock soon, according to recent news, and it will center on a technology center that used to be an Air Force flight training base. Interesting. Will Lubbock be a center of drone sightings? Will we have strange lights in the sky? Given the facilities available, and the long runways, I figure the research will center on unmanned aircraft. Texas Tech will be closely involved in this. I'm looking forward to it. We just might have our very own Area 51 type facility. 

We are really not that far from Roswell. 

A Norther!

 Our temps have been moderated by a norther. Nice. 

When I hear about a military parade I can't help but remember what happened to Anwar Sadat. It's just associative memory in action. Maybe such a parade is not the best idea. For a variety of reasons. 

Pleasant Weather Continues

 I'm back in the mode of wine on the patio in the late evening and coffee on the patio in the morning. Temps drop nicely after sunset and it is still cool in the morning. I continue to be where I want to be and do what I want to do. May it ever be so!

Meanwhile, the USA morphs into a North Korea. A North Korea with close ties to Saudi billionaires who happen to finance terrorists, and a Beloved Leader who cuts deals with drug cartels. Ah! Only in the United States of Shit-for-brains! Idiotville! A festering sinkhole of ignorance and delusion! The halfwits rejoice! The halfwits roool and drooool!
