Cloudy And Warm

 It got pretty warm yesterday but it was not at all uncomfortable. Today it is cloudy in advance of a mild "front" and rather pleasant. This has been a pretty awesome February, with only one instance of rather cold weather that didn't last long. I see all kinds of growth in my garden and it's looking quite good. I've decided to begin watering and everything is responding well. 

It's all looking (and feeling) quite good!

A Record High Today!

 It will be quite warm, verging on hot, but the air will be dry and there will be wind, so I don't expect to be uncomfortable. I have a feeling that this summer will be incredible and power grids will be collapsing all over. Another crises for ERCOT, the power grid that never seems to be ready. If I thought it would be worth the effort I would try FOIA filings to try to see where the money goes and what actually has been done. I'm pretty sure I'd encounter a stone wall. 

And I'm pretty sure I'd encounter some form of retribution, because I think I'd be dealing with the moral equivalent of an outlaw gang.  We must never forget, that this is TEXAS.

NOT Windy Yesterday!

 And so far, not windy this morning. Warming continues. 

Getting Windy

 Windy conditions at this time of year are normal and it won't be long before we have significant dust in the air.

Nice, Very Nice

 Warm yesterday and lots more done. I'm sure enjoying working outside again. Only a little cool today and still above average temps. I don't mind at all. Best February in a long time. 

I think I've successfully disengaged from the world around me, to the extent possible in an urban area, and it feels quite good. I have no need at all for any human "companionship", which means that I can live in great simplicity and serenity. But I have cordial relations with acquaintances who could be useful. I'm a friendly hermit who maintains situational awareness. I take care to blend into my surroundings, attracting no attention. But I'm always very alert and observant. It's working.
