Could Have Some Rain Today

 Rain today is not very likely but it is at least possible, with a 20% chance, according to the local forecast. MAGA Jesus continues to dither and drool, with the slushpit that is his brain, and the minions hang on every slurred word, now that they know they are dealing with Jesus. At last, they have a Jesus made in their own image-- a piece of shit! Happy happy they are, and when Paula White has to translate, because the words have become unintelligible, the message will be: KILLKILLKILLKILL! And the disciples will go OOOO! and they will go AHHHH! Something they can understand, at last! Meanwhile, here is a good commentary on the state of modern Israel.

Double Down News

If your pastor tells you that you must support Israel, leave that congregation as rapidly as possible. It's been infected. 

No Rain Sunday

 No, no rain yesterday but MAGA JESUS has become official! The minions must be pissing all over themselves with the sheer joy of such blasphemy! It's the real deal now, Billy Bob. Yee fucking haw. Next thing you know the fat fuck will be speaking in tongues. Good thing he's got Paula White on hand!

What a glorious day. Not. 

A Long Way From Being "Over"

 We had some great rain yesterday and no severe weather, just really good rain. More rain today is likely and the risk of severe weather is even less. 

I filled my gas tank yesterday for a little less than $20 for half a tank and that should last two or three weeks. I expect prices to go a lot higher in the near future. Morons are still running the show. The clusterfuck is still clustering and still fucking. 

So They Say Today

 It will be a day of widespread rain and storms. It begins cool and cloudy. Well, we will just have to wait and see. Rain is certainly desperately needed. Much is made of Artemis but the vehicle is not equipped to land on the moon, and the moon landing plan is complicated by the absence of a plan. You can't have a plan if you don't have a plan. Gateway? Some boondoggle involving Starship with multiple refuelings in orbit, and it has not even been demonstrated that such refueiings will even work? The whole thing looks half-assed. Starship is still a joke. Moon landings are still pie in the sky. Note how Mars got vanished, became an unperson, so to speak-- no more talk of Mars. Just as well, because it was insane. Screw manned spaceflight. One more stupid human trick. Almost all of the tricks humans can do, turn out to be stupid. I say "almost" but actually I can't think of any human trick that is not ultimately stupid, but surely there must be something. 

It's Looking And Feeling More Like Rain

 Cloudy and humid today. It might even start raining today, maybe later this afternoon. One can hope that there well be no hail. 

And of course, the dismal, deranged, shitshow goes on. 

That Didn't Take Long

 It lasted just long enough for some insiders, billionaires one and all, to profit. I'm sure T-Rump and his family profited hugely. They are insiders, are they not? Was the whole thing a delusion? Hard to to tell when you are dealing with a congenital liar, who's also senile. Looks like automatic draft registration begins soon, before the end of the year. I have to laugh. I'm assuming that this is what MAGA voted for. 

Shocking Twists

 It's all rather disorienting. Could that be the purpose? Like, cool, now warming, and Saturday could be stormy. The weather is always interesting, in one way or another. 

At least I usually know which way the wind blows. 

It's A Little Too Cool

 I could ask for slightly warmer weather. We'll get some later this week. Rain chances are not good. 

Slightly Cool

Bit it is sunny and the winds are light. Next weekend we have rain chances again, and the week ahead appears to be one of mild weather indeed. Too cool last evening to spend time outside. But I had that "vintage" evening and there is no reason to believe that I will not have more this summer.  

It Isn't Over Yet!

 Why is it always a few weeks more, and another few hundred billion dollars? This seems to be turning into the US of A against the rest of the world. The national debt is out of control. I thought that was going to be fixed. I guess not. I thought a ground invasion was supposed to solve everything in a hurry. When is that going to happen? Maybe I was right all along. I thought this thing would be a "clusterfuck". And so far, that's exactly what it looks like. What a surprise! Actually, not a surprise at all. Oh well, there's nothing I can do but prepare for the worst. I've been doing that since trump two. It's looking more and more like Caligula redux. 

We've had a bit of a norther, and a little more rain, but I watered yesterday evening, and it was in fact a vintage evening, with perfect temps, perfect breezes, very quiet, and something to be savored. I did exactly that. 

Decidedly Pleasant Weather

 Yes indeed, and tomorrow rain chances "tick up" and even today they are not bad at all. Tonight might be best. Nothing severe in the forecast either. A pleasant day should be obtainable with little effort. Is that not the best kind? Of day?

And of such days, one might ask: can one have too many? And I would answer, if asked: I think not. 

A Little More Rain

 It was cloudy most of yesterday and humid and the reward was a slight additional quantity of rain. We certainly need a lot more! But I will welcome whatever we can get.

One of the supermarkets near me has remodeled and I am in the process of getting used to the changes. Aisles are much wider now, and I see a greater variety of food and other items. This must be a sign that the store is successful. That's fine with me. But I hope the other one, even closer to me and somewhat more convenient, will not close. It might help if they spiffed up their offerings; upgraded. If they did that they would get a lot more of my business. So wonderful, to have so many things so near to me! Only one thing is lacking and I keep hoping to find such an establishment under construction. All of this means not much driving required of me. I think the last time I  purchased gas was two weeks ago. My tank at that time was half full and that's as low as I permit it. So I've done two weeks on half a tank of gas and I think I might need to fill the tank again in about a week. That's not bad.

Fairly Decent

It looked like rain yesterday, with lots of clouds and high humidity but it didn't. Today might be quite windy, maybe dust but right now hazy clouds and light wind. Scattered storms and showers are possible later. This is actually fairly decent weather for this time of year. The recent rain really gave things a boost. We need a lot more.

 

It Rained!

 It finally rained and it came with no hail. Amazing. It's been so long, The sound of thunder and the sound and smell of falling rain. Maybe a quarter inch in my area. I hope that signals a change. 

I have only a few things to do today. I guess I'll spend a lot of time reading. Morning weights are done. Only a few days are left in the war. I BELEIVE Marco Rubio! He looks like Lucille Ball's husband, doesn't he? I wonder if he plays conga. He sure does inspire confidence! Only a few days left and then peace. Ah!

Sunflowers

 Despite the lack of rain I've got sunflowers coming up again and it looks like I'll have a lot. They really don't need a lot of water. Lubbock used to have many fields of tall sunflowers but I have not seen that in many a year. To conserve water I no longer irrigate parts of my front yard. If it rains it turns green and if not it's mostly weeds that are drought hardy. Of course, I keep those weeds cut to comply with city regulations. Great thing about those weeds is that they will grow and stay green under very adverse conditions, such as drought. Meadow grass has also returned in the back yard and I'm just going to let it grow. It's nice to see it waving in the wind when it is tall and putting on those tasty seeds. So hard to harvest though. Everything is quite stable around here. I wonder sometimes about the long term prospects of this area but my own long term prospects are close to non-existent so why worry. 

There's many a persona I can dredge up and it pleases me lately to be an old cracker, a crusty and somewhat quaint old feller living in my own private Hickyville. Yes, Hickyville, where the good folks do dwell, close to the soil and soaked in old traditions that the city dwellers find amusing if not downright stupid.
