Cool Morning Hot Day

 It was nice and cool this morning but it will be quite hot today in advance of a norther. Tomorrow, very different, and thunderstorms are likely. Let it rain. It was amazing outside this morning. I'll have to do some trimming and cutting next week, in order to bring the jungle within bounds. Paths are getting overgrown. 







Nations and religions are truly despicable atavisms. Maybe AI constructs can do away with them. But they might find it necessary to do away with people in the process. What's needed is a drastic modification to the human genome, to produce a species smarter, better, more rational. But it's probably not possible to construct an animal that won't behave like an animal. Odds are, it's hopeless. Homo "Sapiens" seems to be a dead end.

Weather Still Good

 Comfortable. Hot Sunday. Another norther due. Cooler Monday. Next week looks good. Reasonable temps and rain likely. 







The human brain is remarkable, sometimes generating elegant and beautiful mathematical structures, but most of the time-- garbage.

Well My Goodness!

 We had a fairly strong norther for the time of year move in last evening, and some rather strong storms, such that the McKenzie park orgy of fireworks had to be cancelled, and I can only imagine the traffic jam as the rain poured down, with masses of people trying to exit the area. My wife and I were caught in that jam back in 2013, and it took us hours to get home. Every road was bumper to bumper. Once was enough for us, and we weren't even IN the park, but on a hillside above the park. The fireworks were very enjoyable that night, but we never tried it again. I got quite a lot of rain but no hail. And the north breeze this morning is cool and fresh, very nice after triple digits. 







Yeah, let nations be destroyed, along with their malignant deities.

July 4th

Let nations be destroyed, and their idols smashed. It looks to be hot today again, maybe with better rain chances, and heat relief tomorrow. I hope. The forecasts keep changing, as usual. 







 Pray for rain! Heh, heh. What IS Uri Geller up to these days??

Rain!

 Yes, we got a pretty good rain last night, and things were nice and wet this morning. Our rain chances are ramping up day by day, and the high pressure system that made us bake recently is breaking down. Drastic changes for Friday and the next week looks to be quite pleasant. Some forecasters are giving us a 40% chance of storms on July 4th. In the future we still have hurricane Beryl which might spell peril for the Texas coast. The storm has a nasty habit of intensifying very rapidly. Keep an eye on that. Beryl. Peril?
