Storms Rain Cool

 Wild night of weather yesterday that began in the evening. Some quite severe storms in the area. I got lots of rain and today it is cool and cloudy and wet, with winds from the north and east. Nice! Memorial Day is usually hot and dry. Not this time. 

If any locals want to have a picnic somewhere, they won't be very comfortable and they might get rained on. I heard lots of emergency vehicles this morning, so the carnage has obviously begun. 

Record Heat Today

 It will be a very hot day but that changes tomorrow, and Memorial Day will be quite pleasant though there might be thunderstorms here and there. Next week looks good, with mild temps and rain chances every day. 

The air is very dry and it is breezy. That helps. 

Hot Days, Cool Mornings, Mild Evenings

 Rain chances are starting to increase. There are some heavy clouds around right now, in fact. Where it goes nobody knows. 

To Mars! And beyond! Not. 

Top Secret

 Top secret research will be coming to Lubbock soon, according to recent news, and it will center on a technology center that used to be an Air Force flight training base. Interesting. Will Lubbock be a center of drone sightings? Will we have strange lights in the sky? Given the facilities available, and the long runways, I figure the research will center on unmanned aircraft. Texas Tech will be closely involved in this. I'm looking forward to it. We just might have our very own Area 51 type facility. 

We are really not that far from Roswell. 

A Norther!

 Our temps have been moderated by a norther. Nice. 

When I hear about a military parade I can't help but remember what happened to Anwar Sadat. It's just associative memory in action. Maybe such a parade is not the best idea. For a variety of reasons.
