Cold next week and maybe a first freeze. Too early for that, but so it goes. This might be a rough winter. I was hoping for a non-event but climate extremes are the new normal.
One acronym sums up the future: FUBAR!!
This blog is an ARTISTIC regional photo journal. I focus on mundane scenes. ANY AND ALL STATEMENTS I MAKE HERE ARE MY OPINONS ONLY! I OFFER NOTHING WHATSOEVER AS A STATEMENT OF FACT! The photographs are offered as ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ONLY! They are not representative of anything other than themselves. Most of the places mentioned here have surely changed substantially since they were visited. Check my list of recommended sites at the bottom of this blog!

Clearing now and cool, At least the playa lakes got a little extra dose. They are near normal levels for a season of normal rainfall and looking good.
Cloudy and somewhat humid and cool and showers should begin late tonight. Not bad, really. It's nice and seasonal-- it FEELS like October should.
But not uncomfortable and now we have a norther inching in, bringing clouds and cooler temperatures and soon we will have a few morning lows only a little above freezing. Am I ready for winter? Ready or not, it is coming. I hope it will be MILD. Good chances of rain coming up, and that will be welcome. I suppose I am as well-prepared as I can be.
Hot tomorrow as well, but then another front. Rain chances. Cool mornings persist. Rain chances increase next week. Nice enough October. Comfortable evenings. Mosquitoes really bad. Nothing new around here. I think I've done all the clearing I plan to do and now will maintain things as they are. I'm noticing that things on the web are being "optimized" for "smart phones". I don't like that at all, abjuring and reviling smart phones as I do. Moron bait, in my opinion. So happy to have no need of one, or use for one. And I'm finding that 4G isn't worth shit if you live in a house with steel siding, and steel doors in steel frames, as I do. It's almost like a Faraday cage. Don't forget the metal mesh window screens. 3G was no problem. 4G doesn't work well in such an environment.
