Of course I have to look at the weather forecast first thing in the morning. Why? It’s going to be what it’s going to be and it will only vaguely resemble the forecast. I wonder if ancient man would spend as much time thinking about the weather as his descendants now do? OK, it’s going to be 83 today and sunny. Does it matter?
Summer continues. I am really looking forward to some rain and I don’t see any of that in the long range forecast. Rain would wash away the dust from the harvest and from the roads. We were following a truck loaded with almonds yesterday as we went into

Odd; I am listening to my small scanner radio that sits here by the telephone and I keep hearing reports of various crimes and misdemeanors around the valley. It’s 5:30 in the morning on a Sunday. What’s with that? I always thought the criminal element was in bed after 2 or 3 in the morning. Or do they set their alarms and get up early?
I don’t usually listen closely to the scanner, it’s just a noise that I know I can focus on if I want to… and I do hear some funny stuff on the scanner! Yesterday, there was a neighborhood argument involving several families and a rowdy rooster that required the services of a deputy. Oh, I know it’s all very serious to the parties concerned, but since I can’t see them, I get to laugh.
Greenspan was on 60 minutes last night and, although he says he is a Republican, he really nailed them in the report. He also gave kudos to President Clinton. He said Clinton had other problems but he did a lot to get the nation to be fiscally responsible and left Bush with a nice surplus, which he promptly used for his "tax cut" and never stopped spending. He has left us with a dangerous deficit and has still not rolled back the tax cut. He is an interesting guy. Everyone wants him to keep his mouth shut as his word still has lots of power over the financial markets, but he says he is going to keep speaking out.
