Makes me wonder what February will be like. More of the same would be fine with me, except that the need for rain is becoming critical.
This blog is an ARTISTIC regional photo journal. I focus on mundane scenes. ANY AND ALL STATEMENTS I MAKE HERE ARE MY OPINONS ONLY! I OFFER NOTHING WHATSOEVER AS A STATEMENT OF FACT! The photographs are offered as ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ONLY! They are not representative of anything other than themselves. Most of the places mentioned here have surely changed substantially since they were visited. Check my list of recommended sites at the bottom of this blog!

King of the Elves!
From President of Venezuela to King of the Elves! Next logical step as the Emperor's brain deteriorates. When do we arrive at Master of the Universe? In "memory care"? Already a raving lunatic. But the minions eat it up. They love that stuff. They have at last a deity created in their own image. Getting more and more pleasant here. It was not as cool this morning as yesterday and it will be warmer than it was yesterday, but chances of rain are slim to none.

Warming Again!
This could turn out to be the warmest and maybe driest winter Lubbock has ever recorded. That's OK with me. Except for the dry part. That's not good at all.

Protests
If the US had protests on the scale of those in Iran, ICE actions would produce a death toll in the tens of thousands in very short order. And the protests would amount to essentially the same thing: opposition to theocratic rule, opposition to dictatorship. The Iranians have a better chance of dumping their dictatorship than we would, taking to the streets to oppose the peculiar form of theocracy that has grown up in the last few years, the cult of the god emperor who can do no wrong. Crazy times we live in.
But you can't have crazy times without crazy people, and people who are not only crazy, but evil, evil to the very core of their being.

Cold This Morning!
But as arctic blasts go, this wasn't much. We've already been this cold, and it's about seasonal.
Apart from normal chores, neither brain nor body will be exercised today. I just want to goof off.
