Closer Looks 22

 Lubbock had a tiny bit of rain in the early morning hours. Just a tiny bit. Wow. 








I continue to try my best to live in the past, while coping with the present. I do my best to resist change, but various circumstances force me to deal with unwanted changes. What a drag.

 It's looking a little bit like it might rain today. I'll believe that when I see it. 








Meanwhile, even when I try to keep my life as simple as possible, complications arise.

 Parts of Texas continue to burn, nice weather here, and better rain chances. Dust levels have not been so bad lately. Tolerable, at least. 








Life goes on, whether we like it or not.

 It's a warm day today without a lot of dust in the air, for a change. 








It's a fine enough day in most respects. Tomorrow will be somewhat cool, but not cold. Lots of variations in temperature are common at this time of year, in this part of the state. And who knows, it might actually rain this week.

 Maybe I'll get some new things Easter, but they won't appear right away.









Yesterday's high temperature tied a record set in 2006. I don't remember anything about 2006. I don't think I'm missing anything. I've kept a journal since the early eighties. It's filled many volumes since then, so, if I'm interested, I could look up 2006. I even put a title on that journal: "The True History of My Adult Life". I've destroyed some early volumes because I felt such disgust and impatience with the person I was then. I don't want to be reminded. No one apart from myself will ever be able to read that journal, because my handwriting is like hieroglyphics-- and there is no Rosetta Stone. Indecipherable. Hopeless.
