Warming And More Rain?

 40% chance of rain today but you'd never guess it this morning. Very sunny. Maybe clouds move in later, maybe this and maybe that. My Sunday morning drive took me past the area where the major festivities for the 4th will be held. I used to photograph that stuff for the blog but that seems pointless now. A lot of things are pointless now. I'm on "Q" in the Sue Grafton books. Because of those books I've gotten into hard-boiled egg sandwiches with lots of mayo, and peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Very good! Another favorite: liverwurst on white bread with butter and molasses. Most people go yuck but it's an amazing treat, best made with authentic liver sausage but the best you can do around here is liverwurst from the supermarket. Good luck finding authentic liver sausage. And if the white bread is fresh and warm and homemade-- to die for. For years I've been thinking that "someday" I'll do this and do that, things I did when my wife was alive and we did together, but I suspect that "someday" will never arrive. I'm happiest now keeping my life as simple as possible and staying close to home. 

Lots Of Rain!

 The heat is down and the rain is up. Had a great thunder shower yesterday afternoon and evening, cool breezes came with it, no severe weather, and this morning it is cool and we've had another shower. That's what I like. Very nice. Mild temperatures and rain chances continue today. 

Many new photos are in the pipeline! Cool mornings will continue for the next seven to ten days, giving me a chance each morning to air out the house and get the heat out. 

Some Heat Relief

 As the Heat Dome shifts east, our temperatures are much more seasonal and rain chances improve day by day. This MIGHT be a pretty nice weekend, with a return to cool mornings and seasonal highs and rain. I got lots done this morning. 

Heat Dome Moving East

 "Cooling" trend and rain chances increase. It might actually be a nice weekend. It's been a while since I've had one of those. Looking forward to it! 

Currently, I am reading Sue Grafton still, now on "P", and Eliphas Levi's "History of Magic". C. S. Lewis called magic an evil dream. I see no distinction at all between spell casting and praying. None. If one is an evil dream then so is the other. Offsetting penalties and no gain?

Survive Today-- Survived Yesterday

 If it isn't a bomb cyclone it's a heat dome. Life in the PU is a nasty business. All the more reason to refuse to have any children. Look at the existence you're condemning them to. I'm happy not to be guilty of such a crime of selfishness. My outlook is jaundiced, of course, and if my opinions offend, bugger off. Too many busy bodies running around-- the Karen syndrome. Nothing I can do about any of that, so on to the task of living my own daily life, under a HEAT DOME!!

I admit to having rather unusual thoughts and feelings-- consider the fact that most of what the universe is, is non-sentient. Unaware. That makes it a corpse, effectively. Think about that. It's all dead, for the most part. Nothing inside. Scary, isn't it?
