It was very humid yesterday and after sunset it got very cloudy and dark and eventually I heard thunder and then there was thunder and flashes of lightening. Wow. And it rained. A little. Not a lot where I am but maybe, I hope, other areas got more. And now it is back to extreme heat. Maybe by Saturday it will cool down a lot. It might actually be a nice weekend!
Humid as well! Feels great but it's only for one day and rain chances are minute. But at least it's a break in the hot and dry cycle. It won't last long. Watched the lunar eclipse with powerful binoculars and did some other star-gazing as well. Lubbock has severe light pollution, unfortunately. I felt sorry for all the numbskulls, like the flat-earthers. There are so many different varieties of numbskulls running around it's hard to keep track!
Very hot and very dry but maybe a break in the heat late in the week. And some slight rain chances. It cools off nicely at night, though, with morning lows near sixty. It's a true desert climate. In another generation I expect to see this part of Texas covered in drifting sand and dead for all practical purposes. I'm inclined to say "good riddance" but in any case I won't be here and it won't be my problem.
Record heat in Texas and already warnings of blackouts and brownouts. Our shit-for-brains governor throws money at CRAP, pandering to the racist half-wits who vote for him, and the important stuff is low priority in his looney toon world. He's already driven up prices on a lot of food items, pandering to his idiot base, and the power grid seems to be as shaky as ever. Paxton, Abbot, and that other idiot whose name I can never recall-- an ungodly trinity of terminal numbskulls if there ever was one. But an awful lot of Texans like to eat the shit they dish out. If Texans were smart, they wouldn't really be Texans anymore, would they?
I talk about living in the past but certainly not any "past" prior to about 1980. If you know what I mean. 1983 and onwards? But not after about late 2017. Or 2016 maybe. After November 2016 it seems like everything went downhill very rapidly. The insanity quotient went up and up and it still hasn't topped out.
