Local News and a LIttle on the War of Stupid

It rained yesterday.  That was very exciting.  Cells marched through the area bringing straight line winds and then thunder and lightning.  I realize that this is old hat for most of the country, but rain in March is pretty wonderful.  

There was lightning, I scraped this off the neighborhood Facebook page.
 


I took this earlier while we were sitting in a huge backup of traffic on La Cholla trying to get home.  It's a nice sky.


The fruit trees have decided to bloom.  I don't understand their timing at all.  The scent over there is really strong.  And they're covered in bees.


This is the first of the three waves of steenking yellow trees, the dreaded Acacia.  There are four of them in close proximity to the house.  Which reminds me I need to go squirt Flonase up my nose to help with the seasonal allergies.


Today is overcast and gloomy.  The sun is unable to burn off the clouds.

From twitter we read the following.

The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.

You know, the reality is that there are basically only two countries right now that actually know how to fight drones at scale – Ukraine and Russia. So Ukraine really had two options. Either help the Gulf states intercept those drones, or step aside and watch them go to Russia for help instead. And let’s be honest – Moscow would happily take that money, because as we’ve already seen, Russia doesn’t really care about its allies, even if it’s Iran.  So says Saint Javelin

The Strait of Hormuz remains mainly closed.  A few brave souls have turned off AIS and run the strait and have not been sunk.  The price of everything continues rise.  Thanks 47!

So, on that happy note, I will arise and go now.
