Whew...



June has spread it's sucky wings to spread some misery.   Yesterday wasn't super hot, but with the excessive humidity, it was pretty hellish.  There were supposed to thunderstorms all afternoon, but they never showed.  It just got hot, thick, dreary & awful.  It was hard to do much of anything.   

The loathsome air soup is stirring up things.  It's June, therefore Pride Month.   Nearly every post I've seen on Pride so far has been divisive, demeaning, insulting & combative.   This wasn't the point of Pride.  This event was to be bring people together & strengthen the community, not smash it to bits.  I've left a lot of the social groups I was in over this.  Maybe in a while, I'll look back & see if they've changed any.  If they haven't, I find others eventually.

The weather has also affected the animals.   The cats look dead.  The birds are quiet.  The only beasts that are active or those of a more hellish nature; fleas, wasps & my mow-junkie neighbor.   This morning was the 1st morning I had to use the flea spray.  I hate that stuff.  It works, but it almost kills me as well.  The wasp round-up has been ongoing for a couple of weeks. Look up & there's another wasp in the house.    At least they fly better than junebugs or we'd all be dead.

What The...

I was just writing about it being too warm for my sake.  I spoke too soon.  The windows were open & a fan blowing when I went to bed.  I woke up cold.  The temperature had dropped & storms had rolled into the area.

We have the potential for some serious thunder storms today.   The lights are already flickering & the net is lagging.  This will have to quick today.

Oklahoma has been weird(er) lately.  The weather's been jumpy, even for us.  The plants aren't behaving normally.  To top it off, we're having earthquakes again.   Nothing big, but a lot of them.  Some of them up to the 3.0 range.  I think Oklahoma's trying to shake off Texas & drop it into the sea.  Great, we'll have ocean front property in Oklahoma.  I'd have to move, we couldn't afford the taxes after that.

I see a lot of wasp near my window.  I think they're trying to stay warm while they hunt.  As long as they aren't too near, wasps don't bother me.  They hunt spiders & other pests.  Most the spiders these types hunt are poisonous, so more power to the wasp.

There went a big light flicker, so I'd better get this done.
