2023 Day 223

Gary BoydAugust 11, 2023August 11, 2023
Friday August 11th It's just another hot August morning in Southeast Texas. There are a few clouds floating around in the sky but there's not enough moisture to even wet your mouth. It's exactly this time of year that I start hearing the call of the mountains... And I guess…

2023 Day 206

Gary BoydJuly 25, 2023July 25, 2023
Tuesday July 25th "A combination of slightly cooler temperatures and slightly lower dewpoints means that the National Weather Service, for the first time in more than two weeks, has not issued a heat advisory or an excessive heat warning for today. These moderately cooler temperatures—mostly highs in the mid-90s instead…

2023 Day 195

Gary BoydJuly 14, 2023July 14, 2023
Friday July 14th There is just a slight haze hugging the ground this morning. It's not thick enough to be fog. Basically, it's just the 97% humidity. And when you add that humidity to the dew point of 78° our temperature of 79° feels much warmer. So needless to say,…

Gary BoydJune 26, 2023June 27, 2023
Monday June 26th Well, it's another day that I won't be sitting on the back porch. Even with the ceiling fans on, an 80° day with a 78° dew point and a 94% humidity just isn't conducive to back porch contemplation... And look at that.. it already feels like 88°…

Friday June 2nd I an really enjoying these unexpectedly spring-like days we've had this week. Lower than expected overnight lows.. lower than expected afternoon humidity.. gulf breezes as the day warms.. all in all, a quite pleasant week to end May and start June... As I was sitting and putting…

Gary BoydDecember 6, 2022
Tuesday It's another warm one today. It's already 71°. The prognosticators say this is what we have to look forward to for the rest of the week. We might see it cool down after this coming weekend. But the progression of color in my backyard goes on. Although the color…

It's Saturday Yesterday's email brought the latest propaganda piece from my Congress-critter, as Molly liked to identify them. And Troy E. Nehls, Member of Congress for my district, as he does every week ended his MAGA approved puff piece with a survey... A bit of history here about his surveys...…

Tuesday https://youtu.be/Da1TdpwTBlk I walked out before sunup this morning and it was just a bit chilled on the back porch. I wasn't expecting the temperature to be as low as it was after the high of 70 degrees yesterday. But WeatherUnderground let me know it was all of 33 degrees…

It's the start of another month. But, it's the same old same old when it comes to weather. Overcast, looking very rainy, warm, muggy, just plain depressing looking. The temperature this morning is 76 degrees. The humidity is at a stomping 92%. Welcome to Southeast Texas in summer. I saw…

It's 69° outside this morning. And the skies are cloudy. Birds are playing. Winds are blowing. What a winter we are having. I've been catching some of the political arguments going on. Can't say I'm impressed by the strength of the Republican angst. Complaining about someone's tweets after having to…

It's warm outside... warmer than normal for this time of year. Almost as warm as it is inside. And the heat is on. Outside it's 65º... inside it's 68º. And, it's overcast. The prognosticators have been foretelling of storms forming by tomorrow... and not the metaphorical storms caused by the…

It's frosty out there this morning. I wasn't expecting it... It's also pretty frosty in Washington. I listened to much of the hearings yesterday. What really came thru for me was the hate Republicans feel for Democrats... even as they accuse us of hating President Trump. Even as President Trump…

Another summer morning hanging on into fall. A bit of morning fog hangs low over the neighbor's yard. The warm stillness feels like a too long goodbye to summer. It's also another morning of impeachment news and,  of course, Presidential Tweets. In other news, the prognosticators are foretelling of a…

Another overly warm humid morning in southeast Texas. Hummingbirds still fight for dominance at the feeders. I have heard low flying aircraft pass over the past few days. So maybe we'll see fewer mosquitoes.  Though, so far the evidence doesn't seem to suggest it's working. I see that a large…

Mosquitoes... that's becoming the theme of the week around my neck of woods. Impeachment... that's becoming the theme of the week on the internets and news. Quite late. Should of happened long ago. Hummingbirds... the bulk of them seem to have moved on without waiting for a cool front to…

Even though it's officially the beginning of fall, the weather outside tells a different story. Heat, humidity, mosquitoes,  it seems like early summer to me. Finally, Washington has come to the conclusion that the President's criminal behavior has to be held accountable. It's too bad that so many of our…

PHOENIX — President Trump on Tuesday threatened to shut down the government over border wall funding, said the North American Free Trade Agreement is likely to be terminated and signaled that he was prepared to pardon former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is anathema to the Latino community. So, taking…

  • “You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend or not.” — Isabel Allende.
  • “My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just to enjoy your ice-cream while it’s on your plate.” — Thornton Wilder
  • “Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end.” — Homer, The Odyssey
  • “The rule of law, civil liberties and civil rights—these are not our burdens. They are what makes all of us safer and stronger.” — Bob Mueller, Former Director of the FBI
  • “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • “Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but ‘steal’ some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

    ― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959
