It's A Sad Fact

 Even on this gorgeous October day, there are, as always, many, many, people who need to be avoided because their brains are diseased and overflowing with toxic bullshit. It is distressing to engage most people in any but the most superficial and perfunctory conversations. As soon as you go beyond that, in so many cases, it's down the rabbit hole. And it makes me sad. Then it's necessary to turn off the nonsense, somehow disengage, end that conversation, and hope never to encounter that person again. In a town like Lubbock, in a state like Texas, rational and thoughtful people will have to be more than a little aloof. There are just too many crazies running around. Fortunately for me, I've never been a "people person". I feel rather sorry for "people who need people"-- I think their lives turn out to be more than a little complicated and screwed up.

Religious people can be some of the creepiest specimens out there. 

More Clear Skies Today

 A significant cold front is on the way, however. It's that time of year. I need to mention that yesterday I got my third booster, the bivalent for the latest variants, and also a flu shot. No problems with either one. I've heard that a new variant does not respond to any known therapy, including anti-body therapy, and is very contagious, but that the bivalent booster provides protection. That was reason enough to to do it. 

I always have a few things to do, and I guess that is good. This needs attention and then that needs attention, and some other things need attention, and on and on it goes. 

Clear Skies Today

 Clear skies and lots of sunshine give us a chance to dry out. Very important. I had to negotiate flooded intersections yesterday. 

Early October

 Early October is feeling pretty good here. We might not have a whiplash into extreme cold or freezing rain this year. A mild winter would be appreciated.

Maybe some more rain this evening, and it could be heavy. We'll see. 

Good Rain

 Quite a lot of good rain this morning and I don't mind that it is cool. We'll have some more of this and then it will turn dry and very mild. There's certainly nothing to complain about. 

I don't get much traffic on this blog nowadays, and I can see, myself, that it is quite boring, or would be to most people. I don't care about that anyway. I do this to amuse myself.
