Ray's Thought for the Day - Changeable Weather -Updated Rainfall Report

Yesterday, if you worked outside in these parts, you noticed how hot it was, and close. But this morning the pansy thermometer indicated 58 degrees Fahrenheit. The rain guage held 0.5" of rain water. So the latter means we are now up to 16.3" of rain for the Julian 2006, to date. And the former means we are enjoying a norther and the AC won't be cycling 24/7 for a day or two, maybe.

Yippee! Some more environmental refugees are immigrating to these parts from California. As you may know, the human environment in California has become too stifling for the most expansive human phenotypes. They need room to expand themselves, but in California, there's no room left, to do cost effective expansions. So they need to immigrate to an area where they can expand themselves.

So here come the California environmental refugees to these parts. Pity the poor refugees of Dimensional Fund Advisers. Yep, these particular environmental refugees, unlike the Central American environmental refugees down the street, got plenty of pity and attention from the Austin Chamber of Trickle Down Commerce and the local land brokers. For example, these refugees already have a place to stay, half a new office complex that will be built just for them out on the Capital of Tacky Highway. The new office complex has been dubbed, Palisades West. Plus, at the meetings with locals, set up to arrange a place for them to stay, they got cocktails. Imagine that! How many environmental refugees get cocktails?

What does this type of California environmental refugee look for when it's scouting out new habitat? Easy that, it looks for areas with no income tax, an affordable cost of living for millionaires, handy air transportation and toll roads. Yep, the habitat in these parts includes those features.

However, like all immigrants to these parts, the Dimensional Fund Advisers should bring their own water. Perhaps the goofy mayor of most of the human environment in these immediate parts, who says things like, "The irony is, the better we are at preserving our natural spaces, the better we'll be at attracting people.", should advise them to bring their own water.

Meantime, on the botanical front, the twain Aesculus pavias at the CB produced a record fruit crop, 26 fruits. What might this interesting fact portend? Two of the fruits are depicted around here somewhere. My yoyo is included for scale.
