Will Florida Drown?

 Floridians have nothing to worry about. Their governor has outlawed climate change. All is well. Here, we have a distinct need for rain, but otherwise it is very pleasant. So many wonderful cool and comfortable mornings, and nice evenings! It is dry, yes, but otherwise downright beautiful. 

Let me just say that I really do not care what happens to Israel or any other nation in that part of the world. It's a swamp of vile superstition as far as I'm concerned. Iran seems to be waiting for an Israeli response. I wouldn't do that. I'd launch a preemptive strike, throwing EVERYTHING into the mix, all or nothing, and I'd make sure that the missile warheads contained plutonium and cobalt 60. And then a kind of mutual suicide would take place. An entire nation would become the equivalent of a suicide bomber. I mean, I'd do that if I happened to be a religious fanatic who wanted to inflict the greatest damage possible and damn the consequences. Of course, I'm NOT a religious fanatic, not any kind of fanatic, and not really religious in any conventional sense, and I have no dog in this hunt. But I do look at this part of the world with disgust and loathing. It really is a stinking cesspool. A looney bin. Would that one could lay down a vast cloud of thorazine, and perhaps restrain the murderous psychotics of this region before they inflict more harm on each other. 

Locked In

 No change. Day after day almost precisely the same, but it's a comfortable pattern. The only bad part is the lack of rain. Otherwise perfect. Perfect mornings and perfect evenings and warm days. Winds are moderate and no dust in the air. How long can this go on?

I suspect that when change comes it will be dramatic. I noted that the toilet paper was sold out yesterday. I didn't need any, because I've learned that any little "event" will set off the toilet paper panic buying, so I have an ample stock, as a hedge against the idiots. So it seems that lots of people are expecting the immanent "rapture of the church" and have gone on a toilet paper spree. How long will THAT last? It's good to know though, that even in heaven shitting will continue. How comforting! Ahhhh!

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.
