Cool and very humid to start the day, then a miscommunication that I ultimately straightened out, and then more wild weather and a strange quality to the light. Storms possible again today. Plenty of rain though, and that is good. No hail for me, and that was good. Interesting, at least. And that was good.
More rain today would not surprise me at all. Hopefully, nothing severe this time around. One year ago we had so much small hail it covered the ground like snow. No no no-- we don't need that. But rain would be swell! Rain as much as possible before it turns hot and dry. Amazing how rapidly the "summer" is passing!
Some areas around Lubbock really got hammered. We were lucky. Lots of rain, but none of the bad stuff. No power outages, for instance, no really damaging hail (I got none) and no damaging winds. Levelland seems to have been hit pretty hard. North of us, some damage and flooding, and so on. Dodged yet another bullet.
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.
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.
