That's what we've got coming up in our local weather. Things tend to be very changeable at this time of year, but next week, we'll be edging into very hot and dry conditions. I'm afraid to check the status of Lake Meredith and Lake Alan Henry. I'd just rather not know.

Very Windy Very Dusty
That was yesterday. This morning it got close to freezing. Soon record highs. Much lighter winds today.

No Rain Wind Dust
Kind of cold, too with that dust in the air and strong winds. It is what I would call a bummer. But there was severe weather and a tornado threat where it did rain, and I sure didn't want that. Our violent climate is kicking into high gear.
Late winter, and spring (sproing!) are seasons you just hope to survive without taking too much damage, here on the high plains of Texas.

Storm Threats!
All of those storm threats are off to the east of Lubbock. It was nice and humid this morning. I've got a feeling that humidity is all we'll be getting. No rain again. I guess I'll settle for humidity. Now there is talk of a draft, so that young men can fight and die for Israel whether they want to or not. That ought to kick the MAGA twerps in the ass. Draft those "proud boys" and send them off to the desert to die for Israel. Serve 'em right.
I think I would be amused.

DST Again
Again, I ignore DST. That worked very well last year. I can make adjustments when I have to interact with someone who is using DST. I don't go through the clock ritual. It's stupid. It's silly. Tomorrow it might rain but I wouldn't bet on it. Texas is in quite a bad situation. Most cities in this state are consuming water at a rate faster than reservoirs and aquifers can recharge, if the aquifers recharge at all. How long can that go on? Limits to growth? You bet. And those limits have already been exceeded. But the fescue has not hit the fan yet. But it will. It most definitely will.
Katie bar the door when the fescue hits the fan.
