<p>I'll be mixing up a nice ice-cold (luke warm?) cocktail of shame
with just a splash of Cassandrafruede (reminiscent of Absinthe?)
at sundown today (spectacular when orange-tinted from the wildfire
smoke and dust blown from drought-denuded areas)... While I pop
the ice-cubes from the tray I'll remember the recent factoid from
someone (McKibben?) that the annual carbon budget of most people
in the third world is roughly that of an American's refrigerator
with an Ice-Maker or a Brit's electric Kettle for twice-daily
tea. If I had AC I'd turn it down to it's coldest setting to
spite my neighbor by belching superheated air into their AC air
handler intakes... but alas I only have adobe walls and brick
floors and lots of windows to absorb night-time coolth... no fun
in that! <ahhh... the lingering aftertaste of
Cassandrafruede!><br>
</p>
<p>The wycked hot here in NM finally broke somewhat for us yesterday
with an hour of rain like the "good ole days" when every afternoon
had a rainstorm starting in July to cool off the second half of
the summer. The crew down in the Bosque building a pumping
station to move the water pumped from the Colorado Basin to the
Rio Grande (San Juan to Chama) is busy belching diesel exhaust
plumes and throwing adobe-bricklets from their tires when they
pull out on the highway to become ad-hoc speed control bumps for
the Los Alamos commuters usually roar by at 80 in the 55mph
"safety zone" morning and night. <br>

<p>All the world is a circle? Or is it a donut? I think maybe I'm
channeling Terry Pratchett?</p>
<p>Cheers!<br>
