ThirstDay A New Normal

 I'm playing cutesy with the days of the week. Thursday is now ThirstDay on account of the American West is under extreme drought. Ain't not no dang water to be found pert near anywhere. Not out here anyway. Out here being of course the arid American West. Where we do have wildfires aplenty. We even have the monsoon rain. Of course that monsoon rain is spotty, torrential, flash floody, and that monsoon rain really doesn't hang around for long enough to make a measurable dent in the drought. You see our blessed Mother Earth is bone parched dry and baked to the consistency of concrete. To dig any hole these days you need dynamite or some handy C-4 plastique. The C-4 works like a charm and gets a hole dug in a hurry. However there are some ancillary drawbacks to using C-4 explosive. There are some collateral damage issues with baked hard dirt chunks flying around all over a blast zone. Local authorities seem to take a rather dim view of using C-4 to dig holes. Gosh is that about so twentieth century or what. You also need to be just a mite circumspect when using the old C-4 and watch out for grass fire which will turn into a wildfire in just about no time at all. Yesterday there was flash flooding in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Rock Springs is not exactly anywhere near where you'd expect to encounter flash flooding. Rock Springs is in Wyoming for hell sakes. Flash flooding in Rock Springs?!? Go figure. Yeah this climate change crap has turned the tables on what to expect. Next thing you know the NWS (National Weather Service) will be issuing blizzard warnings for Death Valley. Of course that might be about next December or January so, don't hold you breath or worry about such things happening any time soon. Of course I could be totally wrong here and I look forward to exactly that. Being wrong about snow storms in Death Valley. I mean there was flash flooding in Rock Springs. I wouldn't have guessed that in about...ever. Okay and now for the important stuff and that would be machine art. With art being whatever one can get away with. Take a look at the "art" of Jackson Pollock.
