Nice Norther Good Rains

 Pleasant change. Terrific morning. 

Is This True??

 If it is, that would probably explain why he's a god among white trash, especially evangelical white trash, where I think child sexual abuse is probably a popular cult activity.  Nothing would surprise me about the sorts of things evangelicals get up to, within their smarmy cult. 

So I'm going to hope that this is just a smear. Then again, as I say, I would not be at all surprised...

And sexually abusing children strikes me as a very "evangelical" thing to do. Don't they brag about being sinners, and don't they constantly admit that they are "powerless over sin"? So whenever they are caught red handed they fess up and rejoice that they're SAVED, despite the evil shit they do. 

Quite Cloudy

A norther is on the way and it will greatly moderate the heat we have experienced over the past week. It is a preview of what is to come, with greater and greater frequency as August fades into September. I like seasonal change. I rather enjoy the seasonal temperature roller coaster. 

I have actually begun to stock the foods I want to rely on this winter. I'm looking for easy storage and long shelf life, and solid nutrition, and easy preparation. Nothing complicated. There will be fish in this diet but not much else in the way of "meat". Unless I decide to buy beef jerky. I might do that. Grains! Cereals! Nuts! Dried fruit! Powdered whole milk! High protein pasta! I have plenty of rice and lentils, plenty of spices and seasonings, plenty of olive oil and canola oil and sesame oil. Plenty of flour and corn meal. Plenty of Asian chili paste! Canned tomatoes and tomato sauce! Canned mushrooms! And so on. Oh, yes, canned red beans, for these make a wonderful vegetarian chili. And so on. I want a well-stocked survivalist pantry. Oh yes, dehydrated potatoes! And so on. Pretend it is WWIII, wheee, for it might well beeee! 

Changes Are Coming

 The first significant front of the year approaches early, much cooler Monday and Tuesday. Today it is mostly cloudy and change is indeed in the air. I still work outdoors in the early morning. Seems like there is always something to do. Rain today would not surprise me, but tomorrow rain is more likely. 

The Heat Is Real

 Real enough, at least. Change, too, is in the air. I can feel it.
