An Exceptional October

Cool but not what I would consider cold this morning. Plenty of sunshine and the wind is light. It all feels very seasonal and the conditions are perfect for October. Temps are on a very gentle down/up cycle. Could hit 80 F next week, but mornings remain sweater comfortable for those with thinner blood than mine, and another norther, not a very strong one, will bring milder temps again and rain chances, although the playa lakes still look very good. 

 Now is the time, if you are so inclined, to SERIOUSLY pray for peace. No jokes about poor Uri Geller. I wish him well. Pray for rain, too. Why not? In short, waste your time in any manner that makes you feel good inside. 

The Front Is Here

 Clear, cool, sunny, windy. Not at all bad. We'll be in the eighties again after this but mornings will remain cool. Good for October! 

I have only a little more to do outside, so I think I will pause for a while and resume when it is not so cool. 

A Norther Is On The Way!

 It'll cool things off a bit, for a while. We'll not have a freeze. It should be quite pleasant.

Lentils and rice today, with fried potatoes mixed in, topped with sour cream. I need to use all that old stuff up. It'll be very tasty. Pasta tomorrow, probably, as conditions will be good to prepare that. Meatballs and sauce to top it. 

More Work Done This Morning

 Steady progress. It's warm today but a cool down of some significance begins soon. I am prepared.

In any case, it cools off rapidly after sunset.

The News IS Depressing

 But the whole of human history is depressing. The current conflicts are simply more of the same. Religion is obviously shit, at least the monotheistic variety. I wonder how various modern messianic Jews are dealing with this war? Supposedly, the stage was set, the work was done, and the messiah could arrive at any time. Move the goal posts? Rationalize? Or will the expectations become even more fevered? Any minute now! And then you have the rapture enthusiasts. I hope they are holding their breath. Count to a billion...

Keep the faith! Ha!
