It's Seasonal

 Sloppy wet and quite cool yesterday. I hope this won't be a WET winter. After all the rain we've had lately this would be a good time for drought conditions to kick in again. I voted by mail. At early voting locations I saw a lot of senile oldsters and I can guess what those geriatric cases are voting for, or against. No brain, or a brain turned to mush, and no pain. Living in FOX Fantasy Land, with a heavy dose of garbage from the pulpit. And young people appear to be too ignorant, and too shallow, and too self-involved, to even vote. It's the "smart" phone generation, and it's quite pathetic. They'll deserve what they get. 

No wonder I put so much effort into insulating myself and isolating myself, holding the outside world at bay to the extent possible. 

Rain

 
As the front moved through we had some rain but clouds quickly gave way to abundant sunshine. And there is not much wind. Not bad. 

There are days I can almost feel myself aging, and this is one of those days. 

Still Quite Nice Today

 Monday and Tuesday might be cooler and a bit rainy, then getting into mild weather again. I wonder what November will be like? I suppose I'll find out, if we aren't all radioactive dust by then. Don't count on being "beamed up". 

I have not completely disengaged from humanity. There's no need to do that, and it would be too difficult. But it is easy enough to maintain a healthy distance and keep interactions light and brief and superficial. That works very well for me. 

Rain And Cooler Temperatures

 Rain and cooler temps are in the forecast but not right away. We've got a day or two more of very nice conditions. Yesterday I did work outside and things are looking better and better. It is a bit cloudy this morning but I think it will turn only partly cloudy. 

It's been very quiet around here...

Such Good October Weather

 This is a significant date for me, and a kind of sad one as well. But it is a good day to work outside and I believe I will do that. The past! Where all good things are. I try not to think in terms of "tomorrow". The past enriches the present and tomorrow is best forgotten. 

As I've said before, the only really good thing about life is that it ends.
