Today had been relatively doable, temperature-wise. It was cool enough for me to get away with doing my doors and windows thing early... for my evening nap. Well. Fine.
Except it's raining out now and it's an entirely too warm front doing it. Like there's a steam generator offshore, and there might actually BE a steam generator offshore for all the testing and gaming "grounds" out there.
I'm remembering that 35 years ago, before I even lived here, maybe to the day, I was out there camping by Redwood Creek, and woke up with the creek having risen a foot and seeping into my tent. Some bodhisattva young man with freakin' asthma had found me sopping wet and whimpering by the trail and gathered up my entire sodden camp and hiked it practically straight up a ludicrously steep path to the trunk of my car for me.
I was moaning and wailing about who ever heard of it raining in August.
There might be some thoroughly miserable, fed up with society, woman down there right this very now who will wake up in the morning soaked to the skin, when she's settled there strictly for the peaceful lull of a tiny waterfall some twenty feet off... perfectly content to scare off curious bears for the privilege of a nice long negative ion soul bath... going to be witless with even more dismay and existential exhaustion.
Anyway. I'm goddam up now, with my windows and doors back open, sipping coffee, and MSM water, trying to pluck excruciatingly salient bits out of this interview with a good old fashioned bigot exceptionalist codger journalist who's been around the block and the globe more than once without learning to SEE.
It's fully 5ยบ warmer, maybe more, than when I plopped nakedly down for my evening nap.
pipe up any time....
