Today Not Bad

 Tomorrow won't be so bad but snow possible tomorrow night, probably late, and then snow changing to rain Tuesday. I guess this will at least help with the drought conditions but 1 to 3 inches of snow is not that much moisture. The hazard will be Wednesday morning with iced roadways. But it'll be well above freezing later that day and it warms again rapidly after this blip of winter. So I'll run the necessary errands tomorrow, stay inside all day Tuesday (I'll have to get out once in a while, but I'm not DRIVING anywhere), and Wednesday afternoon I can be out and about as needed. It's been worse. A LOT worse. Most of our snow, if we get any, arrives in February. I actually used to like cold weather. And I even enjoyed snow at one time. But now I'm old and all that has changed. At my age you'd rather be warm than cold. 










I'm looking forward to summer and I really don't care how hot it gets.

Next Week More Winter

 Just for a few days it'll be significantly colder and there's a snow chance. The National Weather Service has conditions less severe than the local news. No surprise there. SOP is for local news channels to sensationalize the weather reports. Hoping for more viewers, I suppose. Profit driven pseudo-journalism is nothing new. Profit driven medicine operating along corporate lines is relatively new and a complete and thorough abomination. Corporate law should be dismantled in such a way as to make corporate "personhood" vanish. Pure evil in corporate "personhood". Every corporate "person" is a soulless and amoral monster. A destroyer and devourer of people (REAL people) and the environment. I guess we're stuck with it. It's the evil in our daily lives, but clumsy, stupid, short-sighted, and incompetent. That mitigates the damage to some extent. 










Today, at least, the weather is fine. Cool, yes, but sunny and it will be well above freezing. The wind does not seem so bad today either. Truly, I hate winter.

It's Less Wintery

 We actually got about a tenth of an inch of rain a couple of days ago. I never noticed. It happened at night, I was asleep, and by early morning there wasn't enough moisture left to make any impact. Pathetic.

It's More Wintery

 I guess that had to happen, that more seasonal temperatures would return. Darn. It's interesting that I feel more and more disconnected from life and enjoy that feeling more and more. Let's have more of THAT. Eventually something will happen and the status quo will be disturbed. Then I'll have to "deal with it" until equilibrium is restored. I get really bent out of shape by that sort of perturbation. I hate it, in fact.

Not Many Views

 I never did have very many views but the number is declining lately. In my opinion popularity is a sign that you are doing something stupid. Stupid has mass appeal. This blog was always for my amusement and it gives me a way to archive stuff and stroll down that old memory lane. As I grow older I seem to be getting more and more snobbish and reclusive. Well, it's something to do, and it's cheap. This will be another windy day, but not what you would call cold. Again, well above freezing this morning. Probably dust in the air again, but at least it isn't snow. I hate snow. Rain would be nice but that's not going to happen. DRY! It was mostly cloudy yesterday but this morning it is mostly clear and ought to stay that way. Give me sunshine!










The word for the day is: stasis.
