Starting To Get Needed Rain

 This looks like it will be a rainy week, and it will be warming again. Nothing severe in the forecast either. For a long time I've had myself on a primarily mediterranean diet, but I'm going to include more Asian and Indian cuisine. Curcumin, Turmeric, Chutney, Ginger, and Curry will be more in use. I'll limit "meat" to fish and chicken. Eggs, of course, in moderation. Plenty of rice, too. I'll phase out red meat entirely, and that should be easy since I never ate much of that anyway. We had rain overnight, a fair amount. Still quite cool though, with a strong north wind. Temperatures like these in late April are obscene. But nature is a thing without a brain-- a sort of machine. And I think (ha ha) the human brain is simply part of that machine, and of no more significance than a dust mote. In fact, I think everything that exists, that has ever existed and ever will exist is of no significance whatsoever. Think of it as the fine structure of nothingness. A bit paradoxical there, yes?








You should think of the totality of being as a huge collection of random numbers. Some are positive and some are negative, and the grand total is precisely ZERO.

Chilly Weekend!

 Too cool to work outside, and cloudy and rain chances increase.

Record Highs Again!

 After a few days with record high temps (but mornings still rather cool) we get a pretty nice week next week with rain chances. I got more done outside this morning, more to do Saturday morning, and maybe a bit more next week. I've covered most of the bases. 







It will be rather cloudy for several days, but that's OK.

Pleasant Today

 Moderately cool and lots of work done outside. I'm starting to feel like I need a rest. Maybe I will take it easy, or at least easier tomorrow. 







I expect a pleasant evening on the patio in a little while. Pleasant is the operative word today.

Record Heat, Cloudy, Cool tomorrow

 I didn't do much today. I spent some time watching the Master's. So relaxing. Not at all uncomfortable today. I enjoy my favorite iced drink: sugar free tonic water on the rocks with a splash of unsweetened grapefruit juice. This evening a nice cabernet. On the patio. Warm as it is today it will turn cooler when the sun sets. That's an excellent time to be outside. I'll take advantage of the cooler temps this week to do more outside. Not much in the way of rain chances, unfortunately. 







I'm not sure when that front is supposed to hit us. Overnight, I guess.
