Mostly Cloudy

 Too many clouds today but not cold and we'll be comfortable again. No Arctic Blasts or Bomb Cyclones or Winter Wonderlands on the horizon. Looking good. We might have a bit more sunshine this afternoon. 

Very Nice Day

 Shirtsleeve warmth and plenty of sunshine. It felt great to be outdoors. Tomorrow might be even better. 

"Buns Over Texas" but no drones. Silly season has yet to arrive here. 

Improving Weather

 It was a pretty nice afternoon yesterday after a rather cold start. Better today. The less winter the better. 

I guess I've developed what is termed "avoidant personality" but I don't see that as a bad thing at all, since there's so much that really needs to be avoided. Let's face it, there's an awful lot of crap out there. Looks good on the surface, if you are kind of dull-witted, but under the wrapping paper it's crap. Even ideas and belief systems turn out to be crap, more often than not. 

Cold Morning

 But there is a nice warm-up on the way, and skies are clear of both clouds and "drones". All the drones are on the ground, stumbling around, as usual. Two-legged drones will always be with us. 

I find myself where I want to be, doing what I want to do. I should not complain!

Somewhat Like Winter

 We've got a couple of cold days in prospect but pretty nice by the weekend. I've had it up to here with the stupid drone hysteria. Adolescents having fun with toys. Maybe protesting the new FAA rules on RC planes, demonstrating that all attempts to control such activity are going to be useless. That would not surprise me. An irresponsible backlash. A distinction needs to be made between model aircraft, RC fixed wing AIRCRAFT, and gadgets that can dart about and hover-- THOSE are drones, and they are dangerous. RC fixed wing aircraft are an entirely different thing, but federal agencies like the FAA are stuffed to the gills with incompetent control freaks. 

I dread the day that Amazon starts using drones for package delivery. Greedy corporations will always be a menace, and will always receive preferential treatment from feds on the take. It's a shame corporate persons are a legal fiction because I would like to see them strung up and hanging by their necks.
