Slight Cooling

 Yes, a slight cooling, very slight, is on the way, but it won't last long. And then we will be cooking again. Many laughs. 

Yes, the season of COOKING is still upon us, and the time of COOLING is ever so far away...

Another Record High!

 106 F yesterday and probably the same today, before some brief relief on the weekend. It's kind of funny that hypertrophied monkey brains will turn out to be a greater threat to life on earth than any killer asteroid. Global warming might be entering an exponential phase, and if that's the case it is probably time to kiss your ass goodbye. 

We can't even turn to the saucer pilots for help, since they seem to be quite stupid themselves, judging by all the reported crashes and alien bodies. They usually look like something crafted rather crudely from fiberglass. Yes, the space people have shit for brains. At least, they have something in common with human beings.

The Heat Continues

 Same old same old, as the heat goes on. I wish winters would turn milder, with less extreme cold spells, if it's going to be so hot but it's the worst of both worlds, with extremes every season. I'm managing to stay comfortable but I suspect I'll have a whopper of an electric bill. I've been overpaying consistently for many months, building up credit, to lessen the impact of a heat wave, since I anticipated this sort of weather. I budget a certain amount each month for utilities and that's what I pay, and that is usually in excess of the monthly bill amount, and I do that precisely to minimize the impact of weather extremes. The credit I accumulate offsets peak use and I don't have nasty surprises. 

I've lost all interest in manned spaceflight. It seems to me to be nothing but another stupid monkey trick. Most of human civilization, of human history, impresses me as nothing more than stupid monkey tricks. It's all sound and fury that ultimately means NOTHING. 

Getting Hotter Again

 Another wave of extreme heat that breaks Saturday but before that another record high is possible, even likely. What a summer. I was forced to waste a lot of time this morning with a printer problem. I only wanted to print a letter. Oh, for a simple inkjet, printing black only, NO scanner, NO fax, NO color. SIMPLE! Can't seem to have simple anymore. Can't seem to have anything that isn't crap anymore. 

Welcome to the future! You get the very worst of the past with a shitload of wall to wall and floor to ceiling crap, all NEW crap, and none of it works. Except for the very worst of the past. That works very well. Just as lethal, just as toxic as ever. 

Very Nice Morning!

 We had a couple of showers in succession overnight, and the morning is cooler than it has been in several weeks, with plenty of clouds and a nice breeze, with the air rain-freshened. No doubt, it will be quite hot later, but I'll enjoy the morning.

It's terrific that we've gotten so much rain this spring and summer.
