No snow in the forecast. That's good. I hate snow. Rain would be nice but no rain in the forecast. Warm weather will make it good to do some work outdoors.
It looks like I won't be doing anything seasonal. Same old same old, anyway. Meanwhile, there are still plenty of sunflowers.
A bit of a cold "snap" this morning but sunny and actually not all that cold by local seasonal standards. That's fine with me but rain would sure be nice. Not likely though. No rain for the high plains of Texas.
I'm quite pleased to have a very good supply of masks! All those unvaccinated people, crowding together in big box stores and other social gatherings, with Delta still out there and Omicron spreading rapidly, give me the shivers. Experts predict a Covid tsunami and I trust experts. I trust intelligent people with education and training and experience. I do NOT trust social media "influencers", Facebook trolls, or pundits. So, I'll be really pleased to get this idiotic holiday season over with. People go crazy, and it's especially evident on the roads.
I made an effort to get stocked up on some things before the worst of the holiday rush hits. Still had to deal with fairly long lines but the traffic was flat out crazy. Lots of people driving like fools. This is really my least favorite holiday. I mean, it's the pits. Too crazy. I don't want to be a total scrooge about it, but it's hard to find any redeeming value in the shopping frenzy. Buy this and buy that. Don't people ever have enough stuff? Because of the crowds and Omicron, I've been careful about masking. I don't see many other people doing that around here. I hope they're ready for the inevitable consequences.
