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. 

I've Been Thinking

 I'm going to be positive. I don't have to care because there is nothing to care about.  Who am I to question a man of Marco Rubio's caliber? A few days ago he dismissed this conflict as a done deal, stating that it would be all over in a week.  Dot a few i's and cross a few t's and the ground troops will just clean things up a bit, seize the troublesome sites and take control of everything. All over. That's less than a week away, now. And consider that God is on the side of the righteous in all things. The good do not fail, and the evil ones are confounded, and all manner of thing shall be well. So my attitude going forward will be much better. I truly am free of care, knowing that the outcome is predetermined, and it can ONLY be good. Our troops will crush all obstacles, will be preserved by divine agency, and meet every expectation of success. 

Why Should I Care?

 Good question. Ironic distance is surely the best strategy. I don't have a dog in this hunt. High gas prices? I get good mileage. And if I drive as much as 3000 miles in a year, that's exceptional. More like 2000. High interest rates will be a benefit to me, so I'm certainly not going to be concerned about that. And it looks like most people are getting what they want, so let them have what they want. At my age, I can disconnect to a great extent, and I do believe that is the healthiest thing for me to do. So, it warms nicely today and next week looks quite good in terms of our weather. Warm rather than hot with cool nights. Perfect, except for the lack of rain. And why should I even care about that?? I can water MY turf, easily enough. Yes, I can look on and say: "What fools these mortals be!" And go about my business. 

Ah!

The Norther Blew Through

 And the wind diminishes today as we enter a mild warming trend. The extreme highs of last week will be replaced by a pleasant warmth. That's good, but no rain. That's not good. 

And the liars continue to lie. What else can they do?

Windy Norther!

 Not what I would call cold, and it breaks the heat, which has been abnormal. The wind will probably kick up lots of dust later. Dry as an old bone. Have we been spared? I doubt it. The senile putz is totally confused and off in never never land. A blithering idiot with the brain of a five year old and senile to boot. That's a MAGA kind of guy from top to bottom. They look at that pathetic old man and they see themselves. They listen to his pie hole slobberings and are overcome with emotion. What a great man! They'd offer him their first born, to use and abuse any old way. OOOO! AHHHH! Surely that sack of shit was sent to us from GOD! And so on. Disgusting. 

What happens now, nobody knows. Not even the White (orange) God Emperor of the MAGA universe. Who knows what sort of senile drivel will emerge next?

A Bad Feeling

 I've got a distinctly bad feeling about what might happen this weekend. I certainly don't want to see American "boots on the ground" slaughtered for Israel and the big oil Billionaires. Do you? Let's see, a few thousand troops dumped in a country the size of all of France, Germany and the UK and Spain, with a population around 90,000,000, and every movement of the troops and troop carriers, whether by land or air, or sea, tracked and targeted in real time, thanks to Russia and China, with no realistic or even clear objective, and cluster bombs raining down-- sounds like a suicide mission. Sounds like murder, actually. Of course, trump bragged that he could get away with murder, so he knows the MAGA mentality really well, well enough to fuck his minions in their fat asses and have them come back for more, no, BEGGING for more, because they think he's some kind of messenger from GOD instead of an evil sack of pus. Sure, he'll get away with mass murder. And the MAGAS will sing his praises, and come back for more. Why should I even care? Let the minions die for Israel if that's what they want, let them send sons and daughters to die for Israel, gulp down the lies and propaganda, and come back for more. 

Another record high for today and rain chances gone, but there's going to be a norther this weekend and it will cool us a bit, but a dry norther and of course no rain.

Warming Again

 I have not yet checked the local forecast. Maybe we get some relief from record high temperatures today and maybe chances of rain improve. It's comfortable this morning and it was comfortable yesterday and I hope it well be comfortable today. There we go. I've got my gym on a new schedule and it is working  better. Always I tend to over do and over reach and push the limits but at my age I'm cruising for a bruising, doing that. Maybe someday I'll accept limitations. I'd better start soon.

You Know

 Lots of lies yesterday, more shit from Don the con, MAGA morons ate it up. You'd have to BE a MAGA moron to even begin to think that we are "winning" anything. What the hell was that "greatness" even supposed to be? It was never defined. All signs point to a land assault which will turn into a spectacular bloodbath. Lots of dead and wounded Marines, and all for Israel stand up and holler. Eh? Don the con is insane and insanity has become the norm. The worst of this propaganda driven war is still ahead. And the minions bray like donkeys. It's all very interesting. But it fits. Predictable, in fact. Here, we have a warming trend again and slight rain chances exist. We sure could use some rain, rain without hail or high winds, but that's probably asking for too much. Crazy times among deranged killer apes. Among crazy killer apes, all times are necessarily crazy to some extent. 

But fear not. A great big killer ape up in the sky will reach down and scoop up the saved with his mighty hairy hand. And tear them apart for grins. Just kidding.

Cold Front!

 More like a cool front. Record highs return quickly. Great opportunity for profiteering, if you are of the Epstein classes. Make some more money before the global economy is trashed. Ground invasion very likely and lots and lots of trashed military assets and dead marines. All for Israel and the billionaire vultures who profit from war. Magaland goes bonkers. Waving little flags and patting their beer guts. We win. Delusional and not overly bright. SOSO. Disgusting spectacle. The clusterfuck bomblets continue to detonate. Magaland loves the noise. What a show. Better than Ringling Brothers. Real blood! Lady Lindsey loves him some blood, bro. Got blood? Got boom boom? Go team. 

So...

Can it all get any crazier? Sure. It can always get crazier. 

Of course, Don the Con LIES! Lies exposed!

Record Heat

 In a supermarket yesterday I saw many people who seemed very happy and perky. There were also some empty spots on the shelves, and I noted higher prices on several items. I had to wonder what world those happy people thought they were living in. I felt good because I was able to find what I wanted and get out with no problems. Maybe they were just living in their personal "now" and things were going well in their little world. I approach things the same way. My world is well-ordered and as secure as I can make it. One can only do so much. I've been through a lot of crazy shit, and I've noted that the same crazy and stupid shit tends to repeat itself. From Vietnam to the present, it's the same crazy and stupid shit wearing a slightly different mask each time it comes around. It must have something to do with human nature. We are the authors of crazy shit. Humans create crazy shit and are doomed by our natures to live in crazy shit and eat crazy shit and frequently die because of the crazy shit we generate. So it has always been, and so it shall ever be, until the last poor monkey dies of crazy shit poisoning. 

Record heat. It has not felt so bad. No rain no rain. So be it. The clusterfuck is still clustering and still fucking. So be it. It is all very human. 

People are going to do what people do best: breed, and kill each other. Truly, we are made in the image of GOD! Sarcasm. 

Big Differences!

 Now, we are getting nearly 50 degree F temperature differences between morning lows and daytime highs. Truly a desert climate. Maybe a slight chance of rain a week from now. Maybe. 

Well, I predicted a clusterfuck and I was right. Sometimes I do not like being right. 

More Truth to Power

Cool Mornings Hot Days Continue

 No rain no rain no rain. Pray for rain! Praying for peace is, as always, a complete waste of time. But sooner or later it will rain and you might as well enjoy the delusion that your prayers made a difference, and if you've been casting spells you can enjoy the delusion that your "magic" made a difference. And so it goes. I'll water again today. Because the rain is staying away. 

By the way, is Uri Geller still alive? Is he still bending spoons? Is he still praying for peace?
