Getting Warmer

 Finally getting warmer but rain is not in the forecast. Killer drought, looks like. Where is El Nino when we need it? Will an El Nino even help us? I wonder what hurricane season will be like? Only very rarely will a Gulf hurricane send any moisture our way. In any case I have lots of work to do around here. There is plenty to keep me busy. 

Cold Front

 But it could be worse. Too damn cold, however. Sunny. Shit for brains weather machine. BRAINLESS PU. INHUMAN PU. HEARTLESS PU. Pray for pizza! The "natural order" is a crap shoot. Fine tuning my ass. In your dreams. I expect to get more work done today, despite the norther. 

Less Wind

 Warmer weather is on hold for a while, but at least winds will be lighter. No rain in prospect, so why not pray for piss? Pray for piss! Plizzz!

And a mighty roar of laughter was heard by all. 

More Sun

 It is getting warmer and it won't be quite so windy today. No prospect of rain. Lubbock and surrounding area continues to dry up. It is so very very dry. Not even Uri Geller will help, if there still is a Uri Geller. He used to work out with barbells! He could bend a spoon! If I am not mistaken, he prayed for rain! Or maybe it was piss. Surely, he prayed for something. 

It Is Nice And Sunny Today

 Of course, it is windy and dry. Of course, there will be no rain. Of course, there will be dust in the air. Lubbock rated number 6 on a list of worst places to live. Makes sense to me. There are pros to living in Lubbock, however, that, for me, offset the cons. If you don't like people very much and don't like to drive, and don't like to socialize, and you pretty much keep to yourself, Lubbock is not too offensive. No way to avoid the wind and dust. 

UMC is a definite asset. Traffic tends to be light. I avoid the entertainment venues, the tech campus area, especially during football season, and it's wise to be hyper-alert driving. You for sure want to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Try to think like a cop. Being retired really helps a lot. You can be out and about while other people are working, avoiding traffic "rush hours", although the traffic is nothing compared to larger cities. Cost of living is reasonable, although quality of life is not going to be great. But that depends on what you are looking for. In my case quality of life is not an issue, since I don't give a shit for social activity. If you live in Lubbock I think it helps enormously if you are NOT a people person and want to live simply and quietly. The very best thing about Lubbock is that there is not more of it. And the worst thing about Lubbock is that it continues to grow.
