Not sure.

When did I go to bed?  After 13:30, pretty sure.  But how much after?  I would guess about an hour later, but maybe as much as three hours after.  I almost always check the clock, when going to bed, and when rolling up into my sleep area.  Sometimes, though, I simply can't remember what it was I saw.

Waking?  As well.  I know I saw 00:38.  But... was that when I was getting up, or just a time when I was rolling over, looking?  Being that it is 02:13, and I have been awake for at least an hour, it is possible, though not sure, that was the time I awoke.  Frustrating.  I do try to know, look, remember.  Today was just not a day that could be remembered.  All good though.  Sleep was pleasant, and plentiful enough to enjoy, and get what I needed from.

I did check the temperature, outside, first thing.  It was 40 F.  Really?  I mean, that is nice.  To my way of thinking.  If a bit of a surprise.  It is was 75 where I was sleeping, and 72 further into the room.  I hadn't turned the fans on at bedtime, but an hour or three before waking, it felt stuffy, so I had turned the fan on.  The closest one, and on high.

Downstairs it is 68 to 71 in the front room.  I opened the front door, just a crack.  Which brings the area near the computer, in this front room, down to 69.  I would guess the main of this room is a few degrees cooler.  I am enjoying the cool.  It keeps getting confused, the weather.  First it looks to be heating up, then it just crashes to cool or even cold.  Odd how things work.

I am surprised, however, that we aren't getting rain.  We have the clouds for it, and the cool.  As spooky as that is, it is what it is.  As well, I am wondering about hurricanes.  If any are developing, heading toward the states.  The ones that would get to us would be up from the Gulf.  While I don't expect them from the West, larger storms wouldn't surprise me, and mixed with cold from the North.  Or... not.

I think they thought stopping things would change things.  But it's sort of like, if that were the case, pushing things until everything is off-kilter, then trying to stop doing that, but... things are already off kilter.  To be honest, as has been mentioned before, there is no human involvement.  This is solar.

Though, I kept wondering why it was mostly Chinese scientists and such who were really going long on it being a solar minimum event.  Until I read a bit more of history.  It seems, for China?  They depend on those to get rid of whichever current corrupt and failed government which is in power.  They WANT this to be the time, in order to be able to scrub China of the CCCP.

Now, whatever the case?  I do suspect the CCCP is in serious trouble.  Some of it is the weather situation.  Much of it is their own doing.  It just doesn't matter.  I wonder how many of them see it coming?  The West has it's own issues.  Our elites are about to go away, as well.  Much of it their own doing, though, too, the weather oddities are going to help destabilize things.  Hungry people are a bear to control, especially when the recent efforts have been to brutalize through those controls.  Australia is the poster child for Western tyranny, but all nations, and many US states, were/are as bad.

We'll see.  Things are changing.  Hungry people are more than dangerous, especially when the state tries to herd them, push them, kick them, starve them.  And, yes, they know exactly what they are doing with gas prices, soaring food prices, and devaluation of the dollar.  Every single one of those things is from groups of governing decisions specifically aiming to do those things.  Nothing that is happening couldn't be eased, or even whole-clothe eliminated, in very short order, with a few strokes of pens or minor legislation.  Will take time to ease, but would begin easing immediately.  And adding ethanol to gas isn't part of it.  That will just destroy gasoline engines even faster than the junk does currently.

Man, I'm telling you.  Be ready.  Store food.  And, if gas hits $10, or more, and the dollar keeps eroding on top of it?  You... won't be able to afford to work.  Have some food.  Don't keep much gas in your car, it'll just get stolen.  Nasty, out there.  Watch yourselves.
