 Omicron in Lubbock. Not many people wearing masks anymore or doing any social distancing. It's going to be rough. I suspect that many of the people I see NOT wearing a mask are also unvaccinated. We definitely live in interesting times.

I suppose it's possible that after Omicron infects as many people as it's going to infect (a LOT) this pandemic will be mostly over. Then we can sit back and wait for the next one.

 This is shaping up to be a pretty nice day. Temps mild, winds light, and plenty of sunshine. Things are getting back to normal around here, in terms of traffic and crowds. 

There's going to be some black and white stuff coming up here eventually. I guess there's a place for that.

 Our very mild weather continues, with plenty of clouds but not a chance of rain. 

I finally got new photos in a new area. I think they will be interesting. Eventually they will appear here.

 The wind got strong and the dust blew, but still far from the worst I've experienced. Today should be great. 

The successful launch of the James Webb telescope was a wonderful gift!

I finished my outdoor work yesterday, but so far no dust and no high winds. I imagine all that will come later. That's all right. I'd rather deal with above normal temps and blowing dust than ice, snow, sleet, single digit wind chills, and all the rest of that misery we would normally have around this time of year. But I know it's coming. Maybe the longer warm weather holds out, the less severe the rest of the winter will be. 

I just wish it would rain.
