Stasis

 One day is much like the next. 

It's just a bit too warm. 

Monotony!

 Our weather pattern marches on with no change. We could sure use some rain. Very dry now. Cool mornings and warm days with a nice cool down in the late evening. It's very comfortable in the morning to work outside and that's what I have been doing. 

Cool Mornings, Warm Days, Pleasant Evenings

 No rain. The playa lakes are going dry again. Nice enough weather but rain is needed. I did some work outside this morning and it was cool. Yesterday evening I revised the paved path I made much earlier this year. I noted some very aggressive climbing vines spreading here and there and that's something I want very much. I have not seen that before. Small leaves, rather arrowlike in shape. I hope it will flower at some point. I want that stuff to take over in the back yard. 

A Weak Norther

Weak or not the north wind was chilly this morning but high temps continue above normal. and the air remains dry. This is the first day of my favorite month, and I hope to savor each and every day of October, especially the last one. Lots of good memories there. 

 I remember October of 1957, and Sputnik! That was an exciting time. 

IDIOTS

 TTUHSC/UMC is under a ransomware attack. Just recently they digitized everything and were so proud to be "paper free". And I say, that was an IDIOT move. And I wonder about the competence of their IT department. This should never have happened. This is what you get when half-wits decide to do the digital dance and become "paper free". IDIOTS. 

I wonder whether people are still able to get their prescriptions refilled? I wonder about all the people who had procedures pending? I think once this is cleared up, IF it can be cleared up, there should be a mass purge of the administration and IT staff-- at least use paper records as a backup. IDIOTS.
