It is nice weather we're having! I like it a lot. Cool this morning but above freezing, at least.
Great weather yesterday. I did a lot outside. Getting ready for growing season. Much to do. I'm not sure about planting. Too early for that.
Those Texican evangelicals better defer their book burning parties! Many Texas counties are at wildfire risk! Because it won't rain! Maybe all those god-fearing Texicans haven't persecuted enough gays, or fucked over enough women, or maybe they haven't banned and burned enough text books, to please the fearsome THING they worship. Wait! The god-emperor has not been reinstated! Maybe that's the problem! Where IS that Uri Geller?? Where is the magic? If it finally does start raining, better have the lifeboats ready. But on a more serious note, the drought is really bad, and climate change due to human activity is all too real. But those damned oil men can't be stopped. Money is the only true god, to paraphrase Robert Bloch.
We are getting conditions now that are conducive to wild fires, hence many weather alerts. No rain in sight. I drove into areas of Lubbock I have not visited in years, that were mostly open spaces, then, and now the developers are hard at work, creating more neighborhoods. Always, I ask, where will the water come from? All this development and building only hastens the inevitable water crisis and crash, as the wells go dry and the drought eats up the surface reservoirs. Lubbock needs a doomsday clock and a halt on development, but that won't happen, because of GREED. The people profiting now will be fine, as they can take the money and run.
Not rain, just thick fog. As good as it gets lately. Forget rain. Maybe someday rain will arrive with the usual cargo of baseball sized hail. No boon without a bane.
