Very Warm Today

 At this time of year it's a wild ride on the seasonal roller coaster of temperature swings. Maybe a high of 90 F today. After a bleak wintery day just 48 hours ago! It's only in the forties right now. But it seems that the first week of May will be really almost perfect, except for the complete absence of rain. So dry. Your antiperspirant should be so dry. 

It's what we have got and nothing can be done about it. 

Near Freezing This Morning

 The cold this morning was obscene for the time of year. Wind down at least. It didn't freeze but got close to it. Maybe this is the last of wintery weather. Yesterday was pretty much cold and bleak and windy garbage. Plenty of sunshine to start today. Will the northers finally bugger off?

Is It October??

 You'd think so, judging by today's weather. One more slap in the face. It'll be close to freezing tomorrow morning, and then a very rapid warm up and one can hope that this will be the last cold spell until-- October. Some rain is possible, remotely. I'll believe that when I see it. Maybe a light, cold, drizzle. Windy today, of course. Bleak. Hey, blowing dust would be the icing on this "cake". 

Strong Cold Front?

 It's going to be rather chilly tomorrow, and windy, of course. Maybe this will be the last of the cold fronts. Very tired of temps in the forties to start the day. It just won't warm up and stay warm, just as it just won't rain. Some areas did get rain recently but they were also smashed by hail and 90 mph winds. Par for the course. I know people are moving to Lubbock but I don't understand why. The Tax office is blood thirsty, and out to screw you to the wall, the climate sucks, and you'll be eating dirt six months out of the year. Lubbock, in my considered opinion, is a crappy place to live. If I wasn't already here, and established here, with too many memories and connections to move, and I hate moving anyway-- you wouldn't still see me in this thing. Happiness is Lubbock in your rearview mirror. They said that years ago and it is still true. It's tolerable if you aren't very social, and tough as nails. Otherwise...

When I got to Lubbock back in the late sixties, with a full scholarship of all things, one of the first things I learned was "Lubbock Sucks". We all said that, all the Tech students, unless they were native to this area, and the natives seemed brain-damaged to those of us who came from other, more congenial, and less backward places. Not much has changed. 

Improving Weather?

 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.
