Dark, early, wet, cold.

Just at 06:33.  The temp outside is right at 36.  And it is raining.  Sure can use the rain, if more hoping for snow at higher elevations.  Or... so they say.  It sounds like there will be water restrictions, if I still suspect they are shuttling water to California, one way or another, as fast as they can.  It also sounds like they will be dumping a large chunk of water from Flaming Gorge.  They say to just maintain electrical production, but... that just isn't so.  They will dump it to Cali and Vegas.  Can't believe anything they say, anymore.

All that rain will do, they say, is keep grass alive a little longer.  But, if watering is cut to once a week, or less, there won't be lawns.  Some suggest they can come back from a hard year.  I'm not totally convinced.  Especially with extreme limitations.  I guess I wouldn't mind, if California had built any reserve capacity in the last twenty years, while allowing in millions of foreigners and burgeoning their populations.  They have done nothing.  As such, I feel not requirement to share.  They have a whole coast of water, on top of that.  Let them desalinate.  Expensive?  So are millions of illegals.  I don't hear them sending those back, keeping others out.  Unfortunately, their money spends, buys politicians, pushes politics.

Can't believe it is still this cool.  And, cloudy today.  Low hanging clouds, can't see the mountains.  Dark, wet, cold, and early.  Doesn't matter which order that is arranged, it's all the same.  Still, it's... pleasant, in a way.  It smells nice.  Almost floral, certainly grassy, verdant scents in general... topped by slight floral, or fruit?  A mix.  It's... nice.  Kept to a minimum by the cool though.

I've eaten thrice, still hungry.  Blood sugar is a bit higher, but working on it.  Some of it is the foods I have available, currently, or the non-meat portions, are a bit carby.  Beans, and bread (if protein, so not terrible), and crackers... for sardines.  Oh... I'll pull meat out.  A pork roast, more burger, chicken if I have a pack, and kidneys.  Yep, had all, and chops.

Kidneys might seem an odd, off, even scary food.  But it is so easy to cook, and eat, and is actually tasty.  If you are really sensitive, you can soak it in various ways.  I do that, usually.  And, it has an odd flavor, but is so full of vitamins.  It is just behind liver, and maybe similar to heart?  But, texture wise, I think it is better than those, or even tongue.  I need onion, to go with that, and liver next week.  Love me some offal.  And, it's cheap because people are eating the wrong meats.  All good for me... as long as I can find some.  It, liver, heart, and the rest, is becoming much more difficult and rater to find, so I try to stock up when I find it.  Just a few of each, if possible.

Oh, and bacon!  The good stuff.  It's cut thinner than it used to be, but three pounds of prime bacon, for $10?  I'll take that in a heartbeat.  It is similar in price and weight to the odds and ends of bacon, but this is truly good.  The odds and ends can be... a bit... old...  It can taste a bit off.  This has never tasted wrong.  It isn't as prettily cut, but that's perfect by me.  I like the natural cuts of meat.

Anyway... not sure what I could eat yet today.  Eggs, I suppose, fried in a bit of tallow.  Really does well.  But I don't have anything... wait!  There are two remaining brats.  Perfect to be warmed, and have a few eggs, over easy, on top!

I haven't gotten to cleaning the freezer, or dishes, but it is... still... possible.  I think I'll be up for a while longer.  Just the way of things.  Later.
