Don't Panic

 Once in a while I check UFO stuff on youtube, for grins. And, yes, UFO is the correct acronym, and UAP is as stupid as calling a computer PROGRAM an APP. Screw the app crowd, that bunch of slap appy twits. Too many twits running around. But the idea that one might panic if we discovered that the UFOs are really alien craft is stupid. The putative aliens have done nothing but play stupid games and crash and burn. If the UFOs are piloted by aliens they are too dumb to be a threat to anything but themselves. 

Their space shits-- sorry, I meant "ships", are probably controlled by apps running on smart phones, so no wonder the damn things crash so much. 

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?
