Robin, that big boy with the wooly mane and ample horns could look scary but he's really just an overgrown teddy bear! Cows do love to have a good back scratch (not that any of mine would stand still for a person to get that close--they just tear up trees and things to scratch themselves).
Wilde Woman, I prefer your palm tree to the falling leaves, but everything has its season--even people.
Muzz, it's so sad about your friend and his treatment not working. You are a good friend. It's troubling to hear about the water problems being mishandled. No doubt the economic factor of continuing with the Stampede weighed heavy on the situation and maybe they figured they'd buy some time to deal with the water issue. I hope it can be worked out. Water restrictions are no fun and worse yet, running without is unthinkable!
Kat, I'm daydreaming about getting three hours of rain. I hope you get just the right amount. I've been wondering about you today--your bumps and bruises. How are you feeling?
Sexton, feast or famine seems to be the name of the game. I do hope those systems near you don't develop. At the same time, they may be the only way we can get some rain up here, if they hold together long enough to sling some of it this way. Those things usually swing to the east and go toward Dallas and points east rather than continuing in my direction.
Poirot, thanks for posting those songs. They sure do stir the emotions! I may have to listen to them again.
Lil0 and WW, I bet "Try to Remember" triggers memories for each of us. I know it does for me.
It's around 90* here, mostly cloudy. Some look like rain clouds but nothing to count on, from current conditions.
