More Winter

 But first it gets warmer. How severe that recrudescence of winter will be is not clear. So far it looks like it won't be all that cold, with highs above freezing and some slight chances of precipitation. Send light! I mean that. No Uri Geller necessary. How about the light of reason? There's not much of that running around today. The light of truth? Truth is real and objective. In some cases you might need to understand the math, since words are not adequate. The ancient mysteries were actually allegories and the same allegories are still there, the same myths in a change of clothing, but it's still true, that one must look for the deeper meaning behind the myths, behind the allegories. Science and math, math and science, are the most effective tools at one's disposal. Always. And it takes the highest form of discipline to learn the use of those tools.

Not many people have that discipline, unfortunately. The number of "initiates" has always been small. Rather sad, that. 

It Is Nice Weather

 It is nice weather we're having! I like it a lot. Cool this morning but above freezing, at least. 

Rain would sure be nice, but chances run slim to none. I got a very clear and distinct message recently: turn to the light. I'm trying to figure out how to do that. I would like very much to do that. How such messages are conveyed I do not know. One simply finds them. 

Pottering Around Outside

 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. 

Sunday morning... (Velvet Underground).

Fire Hazards! Burn Bans!

 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. 

In my photos I offer only wholesome things, so don't blame me for anything. I live on the very fringes of Lubbock, a mere stone's throw from the boonies, and rarely venture into the burgeoning and growing and increasingly congested areas far to the west of me, so I have only the most simple and humble and wholesome things around me, and I like that very much. I have always liked the east side of town, and I sincerely hope that the developers stay away. They should drop dead. They should choke to death on the money they make. 

Wind And Dry Conditions

 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. 

But so what? I give not a rat's ass, not even a microtome thin cross-section of a rat's ass, for the fate and future of Lubbock.
