In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Gully Washer

We've were shy of rain over the last two month, which prompted a burn ban. With about 4 inches over the last week two weeks, they lifted the ban, which allowed many to burn their accumulations of pine needles and deadfall. Last night, the rain started, and not only did it become heavy, radar showed a group of showers moving slowly, and more developing right behind. Other than one glitch with the electricity, the heavy rain was the only problem. 

This morning, I went on the porch to find light rain falling. Checking my rain gauge, I found it was topped, and have no idea how much rain fell past six inches. I do know we're under a flash flood warning, and although I haven't yet checked, the road into the neighborhood probably is flooded. 

So, the biggest change in season is rain. We haven't had much of any cool weather. In fact, we've had lows in the upper sixties, and highs in the upper eighties for the last two weeks. The front that prompted the rain is supposed to stall, and more rain is forecast for today. We don't need it, but at least the entire area hasn't had so much rain. Hopefully the water drains off quickly, and the tropical system doesn't impede the drainage with high tides.

How Will It Proceed?

The illegals have been given an eviction notice. The public funds will disappear, those helping will find they should get out of the business, and the reverse migration will begin. Deportation will get some, but there will be so many, they'll be heading to the borders, and I'm wondering how the neighbors to the north, and the south, will react when they face the same problem they helped create. "Tough luck" is all I can think as appropriate. You reap what you sow.

The Manure Will Be Thick

Usually, after Democrats spend years abusing power, ignoring the rule of law, and causing mayhem, they call for us to "come together" and "work together" after losing their power. I see it coming, and will ignore it as usual. They need to be punished for what they did to the United States, and the punishment should be capital for many.

So, Here We Are

Trump is the apparent winner of the election. Somewhere, by the 25th of December, all the electoral duties will be completed and the official acts placing Trump in office will start, or not. Until then, in my opinion, there will be some efforts to cause problems, those wiser than political rhetoric will realize they need to turn from their evil ways, and many rats will leave the sinking ship of Democrat subterfuge. Time will tell, but whatever happens, things will be different, and those wishing to cause problems will find a citizenry unwilling to put up with their shenanigans.

Calm Before The Storm

Early voting is out of the way, and the anticipation of the election on Tuesday is creating a lot of anxiety. How it turns out is yet to be seen, but considering things up to this point, the conjecture, projections and outright lies will fill the news for a long time. That, and the start of the next election cycle will begin for the next four years of B.S.

Bleh!
