Cool With Rain

 That norther came in late last afternoon and started dropping temperatures right away, and along with it came thunderstorms and needed rain. No hail though, and that was good too. Very soggy outside this morning and quite cool for the season, which feels good. This is really super, a super way to edge past the holiday and into July. We had an amazingly intense red sky just after sunrise, so I recall the old saying: red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Last evening I stationed myself in the garage/workshop, my trusty old car on one side and a wall full of mementos and tools on the other, sipping Chardonnay and reclining with my feet up, enjoying cool breezes and relishing the sight of rain falling on the lawn, rain water running down the gutters and into the lake at the end of the block. So fine! It made me happy! Sunday was not such a bad day!

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??
