Looks like the big drenching predicted for tonight has devolved into scattered showers.
Hazardous Weather OutlookI find this spectacularly odd because the weather prediction has not been as far out of whack as it has been this last year or so in at least a decade. I have been marveling for years now at the near exactitude of what comes over the NWS, but suddenly it isn't holding... after half a century of wondering why the hairdos on TV ever bothered to open their mouths about it at all. All you could rely on was that their forecasts were wrong, but that really has changed in recent years.

The big fat looooong faaaast band of rock 'n' roll that raced across Washington, Oregon and the top third of California before dawn today seems to have been the main burst of precipitation... for the California end anyway. It was right about as bad as you can have it get before you start looking forward to when it will stop. We're lookin' to go back to sunny and cool by Monday. This is putting a cramp in my plans to run hoses down to BB2 and jo6 and Joely before the tumbleweeds start piling up on the sides of their houses....

IN CASE YOUR LIFE IS JUST TOO DAMN MUNDANE AND UNEXCITING THIS'LL FIX IT....

I just did my dishes. I'm definitely starting to love my new pots and pans. I cannot get over how much easier to clean they are, how much easier they are on my hands when hefting them to the stove or to the sink and trying to get them in and out of the oven and trying to put them away. And, I'm not worried the whole time I'm near them that I'm cooking toxins into my food or scratching the coating such that it will make the toxin transfer faster yet. Wimped-out codgers take note! I mean, it's not the really sexy yuppie stuff you can find out there, but it's not cheapo crap either. I just got it on monster sale... in a color that looks to be on its way out. Don't get excited or misled by the spoon and spatula either. They're just black plastic crapola, but the pots and pans themselves work great, clean up miraculously easily and don't add toxins to your food. I feel really good about this purchase.
I don't like spending money, especially on brand new stuff from big companies. I have to pump myself up for it to get over the terror, and capitulation humiliation, but, well, this time it was worth it.

Was that too fundamentalist for you to successfully be able to shed the pall of your general sense of neuritis, neuralgia and nostalgia? No prob, dudes. THIS ONE will fix you up instead. I could hook you up with a couple of hippie women who are out there insisting that better sex is the only way to empower the human spirit, get back our innate powers and prevail over the ever-dreadful Illuminati. One's a psychedelic pleasure addict who let a giant jaguar lick her naked spirit body all over. The other is an Anunaki expert bliss ninny fleecer psycho whose husband is totally down with the cash and helping her explain how whole body orgasms disempower the psychopaths. Both more appalling than any Fundies or Altruistic ET sermonizers... and much less fun. I guess I don't really feel as judgmental about these people as I sound. All of them have worthy things to say, more or less, and lort only knows this world can't be considered one whit less fantastical than any of them right now, but I feel more like stressing the silly over the appallingly silly just now.

I am too sleep deprived to describe my sleep deprivation to you. I'm going to take a chill pill at seven so my lights won't come back on full blast at eight and end up turning me even sillier than any of the people I'm talking about here. Besides, if I get enough sleep I can fight with my not-a-tub tomorrow for an approximation of a bath... get rid of this neat hair.
