Maybe. It isn't as cool this morning and the prospect is for sunshine as the clouds break up. As far as I know, Lubbock got not a drop of rain. That's probably good because for every drop of rain you can expect a pound of hail stones. Ha. It's still too much like October. It's WAY the hell too much like October.
The weather people talk about "rain". I've seen nothing but light mist at brief intervals. It seems that we only have rain when conditions favor severe storms with damaging hail and damaging winds. Otherwise, forget it. Is it only distorted memory, or is life in Lubbock becoming crappier and crappier? I do remember times when it was possible to have fields of sunflowers, and even corn growing on the outskirts of town. That was about 40 years ago. In fact, I remember when every year we would have a virtual plague of crickets. I remember when you could drive out into the county at night and hear croaking frogs! Things have changed, and not in a good way. Now we have a plague of human beings, turning open land into residential areas where people water lawns and fill swimming pools, with water that can't be replenished, no matter how much it might rain.
I thought we were finished with cold mornings. Not. Back on heat rather than AC. I think a few years ago we actually got significant snow in late April. But it isn't freezing. And the overnight showers were a no show. Rain? Not bloody likely. Uri Geller is still alive and has a following. What a shame that he's alive and the Amazing Randi is dead. I'd swap all the spoon benders in the world for an Amazing Randi. For that matter I'd sacrifice every Evangelical yahoo on the planet to save the life of one hooded cobra. There's nothing wrong with MY priorities.
Can it rain? Will it rain? Could it rain? It's going to be kind of cool going into May. That's unusual. Has Uri Geller come back from... was he dead or alive? I ought to use google to try to find out whether he's still bending spoons, still an Israeli secret weapon. Still praying for piss, or rain, or something along those lines. Not much peace in Israel lately, as clashes heat up along religious fault lines. Interesting! But perhaps the piss situation is good, even if peace is elusive. Little Israel seemed to have started well, idealistic and socialist, back in the day. And now what do you have? A mess. Hopes and dreams dashed. Where is Uri Geller? I don't think I could care less. Just another side show.
