So It Gets Hot

 Records will fall, records set in 2020. But then we get some more seasonal stuff, and I rather hope that all this record heat points to a relatively mild winter. Maybe no single digits? That would be nice. 

But whatever the weather machine (HAHAHA) is doing, I intend to take care of business. 

Hot By Saturday

 Then the norther arrives and Sunday will be merely warm and quite cool for a few days early next week. That seasonal roller coaster is beginning to move. 

Meanwhile, we all move on the loom of doom. Loom O' DOOOOM!

Hot Weekend

We've got another one of those weak fronts on the way but before it hits it'll be on the hot side. This is kind of an odd October. It'll be interesting to see whether Milton loses strength before it hits Florida, and interesting to see to what extent Florida will be ravished and ravaged by this hurricane. Global warming is real, and climate change is real, and there is no doubt at all that humanity is the root cause of all these changes. Fossil fuels are only part of the problem. Overpopulation is real, too. And that is part of the problem. In fact that might be the absolute core of global warming and the resulting climate changes. Humanity is a train wreck. Too much monkey and too little sapiens. Let's indulge in forbidden words and phrases:

GLOBAL WARMING

CLIMATE CHANGE

OVERPOPULATION

There. That was fun.

And do your children a favor-- give them forbidden books to read. They'll be better and smarter. 

READ FORBIDDEN BOOKS!!!!

Florida Going Down?

 Category 5 hurricanes are very unlikely in the absence of abnormal warming, and the governor of that state has banned any mention of global warming or climate change, so Floridians in the path of this hurricane should be greatly reassured. And does THE LORD not love Florida? All will be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. Fear not! I'm being sarcastic, of course. It's just a bit too warm and dry here, but mornings are still running cool and last evening outside with the usual chilled Chardonnay was very, very, nice. A record high by Saturday is possible but that is in advance of a system that will moderate our temps just a bit more than the last such weak system. All we've gotten lately are weak systems with no rain. We could sure use some rain. 

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.
