Days Like This

 I like to be outside before sunrise, enjoying the cool air of morning, with a cup of coffee. I make my coffee strong, like the sour brew Alley Oop drank, back in prehistoric Moo. The environment I've created, just for me, behind a privacy fence, is much like prehistoric Moo. Of course, I have no Stegosaurs, but there are animals to keep me company, of another sort, and I enjoy their presence. More than I'd enjoy any human presence, I can tell you that, now that I've renounced the human name and the human game. I've been there and I've done that, and the time to withdraw is upon me. No one can give me back what I lost some years ago, so, for all practical purposes, screw it. Alienation is appropriate, I think. And isolation can be bracing, like a brisk, chill wind. 







No, is what I have to say-- no to this and no to that.

Problem "Solved"

 My difficulties yesterday had little to do with anything but Google, and their lack of policing of the blogs hosted on Blogger. Some dispense malware and are stuffed with ads, but they are profitable for Google, so.... sometimes blogs like mine are tainted by association and if you have a good browser guard and an ad blocker, there can be problems. But I got some help online and now know what to do when this happens, and it is likely to happen again someday. That's the downside of being associated with Google. So be it. Nice day yesterday. Great outside. Not too hot, and very, very pleasant in the late evening. This will be a hot day, though not extreme, and the rest of the week should be quite good with rain chances! Not bad. 







It would not surprise me at all to find someday that I will be forced to have at least some advertising on my blog. I do NOT want to monetize, have no need to, but I seem to be running on corporate charity, and I wonder how long THAT will last.

Blog Sabotaged? UPDATE!

 I don't know what happened. My pics are being flagged as malware. Makes no sense to me. I hope I can get this sorted out. It might be a blogger issue. Nice morning here. And I had hoped to add more pics. Let's try this... (there's nothing wrong with my blog. The issue seems to be with Malwarebytes browser guard. I have reported the problem, but meanwhile I've allowed content for this site, so that I can view the content.)

Memorial Day Weekend

 Quite hot today but not so hot tomorrow, and next week looks to be quite mild: cool mornings and warm days with rain chances every day. Not bad at all. Windy today, too. The dry wind and heat might not be a good combination today. 







I'm done with everything I needed to do today, all well before noon. Last night I got everything watered. I'm well pleased with the work I did earlier in the year.

Not Swampy

 Cool, actually, and the day will be mild. The extended forecast does not have a lot of heat in it, and rain chances increase next week, with plenty of very pleasant days, into June. So far spared from triple digits. A mild and wet summer would please me greatly. 







Remain a sceptic, and maintain distance. Eschew the "holy books" and study the sciences.
