It's Monday After a way too hot weekend... With more time than I care to admit spent on the road... I'm hiding from the heat inside my home. As I am sure many of you are aware, I'm a big fan of the artwork of Gary Myers. My entryway shows…

Gary BoydJune 23, 2022June 23, 2022
It's Thursday Today I just visited summer. I walked out our front door... I looked left and I looked right... Then I returned into the house of perpetual spring. With summer officially here this week, I am now entering my reverse hibernation. I've never really hidden from the cold, but…

Friday And the rains continue... It's a pleasant 73° on the front porch this morning. And yes, the humidity is high, but what do you expect when it's raining. And the range just keep on falling. We had a small murder of crows on the front on yesterday. I've been…

Monday The temperature this morning is almost 80°, the humidity is above 90%. And with all that being said, my allergies are acting up. Par for the course for July and Texas on the Gulf Coast. I see the business across the road is not giving their employees a holiday…

The 4th of July

Gary BoydJuly 4, 20212
Independence Day Sunday Another warm and humid morning. Overcast with high clouds. Not a breath of a breeze. The weather sure not right for celebration. It has that Sunday quiet working. When you had independence day to that Sunday quiet, you get a lot fewer traffic sounds from the bypass.…

The 3rd of July

Gary BoydJuly 3, 2021
Saturday The sun was just peeking over the horizon as I stepped out this morning. At 77 degrees it wasn't too summery to feel oppressive. It's rather quiet out this morning. The house is sleeping... Along with everyone in it. But the coffee maker has made coffee and I feel…

Thursday The sun is out this morning, and it's warm, and it's humid. There's not much breeze blowing. But, the birds are singing. The cicadas haven't woken up really. And I just pulled the garbage bin to the road... The weather pattern this last week has been strange. Blue skies…

According to the morning prognosticators foretelling there is still above 50% chance of rain today into this afternoon. There's almost the same…

Thunder and lightning moved through earlier, so even now a singular rumble of thunder moves across the landscape. But funny thing, no rain fell. The driveway is dry. At least the temperature is down and the upper 70s for a change. Though I'm sure, the humidity is still high. And…

Another warm and humid morning. The summer doldrums have set in. Mornings start out in the '80s while humidity hovers around 90%. It really is time to hang in the coolness of the air conditioned house. In my youth these were the days to enjoy that summer job at the…

  • “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
