There is actually humidity in the air this morning. How strange that feels. My sinuses aren't killing me. Severe weather possible? In Lubbock it almost never rains unless the rain is part of a severe weather system bringing damaging winds and large hail. Oh no. Not that.
I think current events prove that the US does NOT have access to exotic and super advanced alien technologies. If we did, we'd be using them. So much for that nonsense.
It is a windy and dusty day today and the chances of rain tomorrow are meager. The air is DRY. Had my usual Sunday morning drive and I saw some road rage in action: a pickup in hot pursuit of an older model passenger car with a young driver giving the finger to the driver of the PU. They vanished into the distance, finally, and I wonder what came of that. Maybe the violent encounter will be on the news. But I don't do news anymore so I won't find out. More idiots, in any case. Idiots galore. Idiots here, idiots there, idiots everywhere. Nothing new.
Our rain chances have actually managed to creep up into something approaching "possibility", as long as you define that loosely. Unprecedented! Astounding! I can see Texas turning into the American Sahara, as well as large parts of the desert southwest, becoming uninhabitable for all practical purposes. But I won't be around to see that, and I'm glad of it. Here is some more of what fell out of one of my cameras recently:
Very windy yesterday. The dust was in the air. Typical weather for the time of year. Rain chances improve over the next few days. I'll believe it when I see it. Meanwhile...
These were all taken after last year's growing season, of course. I decided not to clear out the old stuff and see whether they'd still come back. If not, I'd like to plant vines that would climb the dead stalks like trellises. Thick vegetation is what I'm after. I don't think the trumpet vine made it. Too darned cold. And probably too dry. Rain chances are being mentioned, like 25%. Ha! That'll be the day.
