A Welcome Change Of Weather!

 Oh, yes, it is overdue, but it is welcome! Much cooler mornings, warm days rather than hot, and rain chances that look pretty good. And after that it's back to triple digits. But we are riding that seasonal wave, now, that transition thing, from summer to winter. I like the transition zones anyway. With any luck we'll have a crisp October, my favorite month, and Halloween is something I look forward to. It's the ONLY "holiday" that has any meaning at all to me. Fuck all the rest, and that definitely includes christmas and easter. I despise those holidays as much as the July 4th idiocy. 

I look forward to Fall, all the other seasons are a bummer in one way or another. 

A Few Days Of Heat Relief

 That relief might arrive as early as tomorrow, and it comes with some rain chances. I noticed something on Amazon billed as THE GNOSTIC BIBLE and that might be worth adding to my library. There can be no doubt that the world we inhabit is an inferior and shoddy construct, and the blame is not ours. We are victims. Humanity is an inferior and shoddy construct, as is the rest of the universe, and even if it is a multi-verse, I doubt that any of it is fit for a sentient creature to inhabit. 

Slow And Steady

 I tend my garden, literally. Maintain the routines that sustain me. Keep the outside world at bay, to the extent that I can. I am reading THE DARKENING AGE by Catherine Nixey. I've completed the PKD biography. I'm going to go back to Sue Grafton for fiction. Close to the end of that series, now. It'll be sad to finish them. I've received THE FRAGMENTS OF CELSUS, ordered from Amazon. It would be wonderful to have all of Celsus. Truly, cults are the bane of mankind. Superstition seems to be wired into the poor human brain. Combine superstition with cultic fervor, and civilization crumbles while madness runs rampant. 

If humanity isn't under quarantine, it should be. 

 

Another Pleasant Morning!

 Yes, and much accomplished! Some books on order from Amazon. Essential reading and things you should find in every school library. I'll mention them later. I sure wish some fortunate archeologist would stumble upon the complete works of Porphyry. And of Democritus, and many other pre-Socratic philosophers. Aquinas and Augustine should be tossed into history's trash heap. 

Moderating Temperatures

 Yes, temps moderate but it is still too hot. Let me just say, after an important city council decision, that developers are destroyers. I am firmly opposed to growth. Growth is actually a process of decay and destruction. If you are busy growing, you are shitting in your nest and you will choke on your own excrement. No growth. Developers are among my least favorite people. The only good developer is a developer who is leaving town because they are not welcome.
