 We got more rain than I expected yesterday and it really didn't get very cold. Today it's all blue sky. I suspect that the weather forecast will be inaccurate again. That's not at all unusual. It was a rather quiet New Year's Eve around here. Nothing wrong with that! 2022! Big deal.

Unfortunately, it will be windy today. When is it NOT windy around here?

 Maybe it will rain today. If it does it probably won't be much. Even a bit of moisture will be a pleasant change. And it is not at all cold. Maybe tomorrow it will be cold with a light sprinkle of snow. But that will be a one day affair.

Not that I really want much of a winter. I had enough winter last year to last the rest of my life. I'd rather not go through that again.

Rain chances at last, and on New Year's Eve and New Year's. Good timing. I've always felt that those were stupid things to celebrate. Maybe the rain and cold weather will "dampen" the nonsense. Too much nonsense and too much stupid running free this time of year. There are only two holidays that make any sense at all to me, and they are Labor Day and Memorial Day. And Halloween is kind of fun, but not a holiday.  Meanwhile...

 In fact, Halloween/Day of the Dead makes quite a LOT of sense.

 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.
