Glub, glub, glub-Water talk

I saw on the news that the rains have reached KC. Hopefully not as strongly as in Texas. We got another couple of inches last night and there are more in the forecast for later in the day and right on through the 4th. They have already closed several area lakes through the fourth of July. There has been so much wide spread flooding throughout the area that I imagine that insurance rates will increase shortly to cover it. Many areas are already calling for state funds to help cover rebuilding. We have not been as hard hit as the folks west of I-35 and up toward Sherman and Denton. With over 6 inches of rain in the last three days, we are plenty soggy though. We are 3/4 of an inch off the record set in 1928 for the wettest June and the weather guys are all confident that we will tie, or best that record easily.

At least the area lakes are full and overfull. Last year the ongoing news was how low the lakes were and how water rationing was needed. Maybe they will lift that for this year. I know that the kudzu and the weeds are taking full advantage over not being able to get out and work in the yard. I hate playing catch-up but will need to after the rains stop. The mosquitoes are having a field day and as soon as you step outside they are all over you. I hope I do not sound like I am complaining. I am very grateful for the rain and the cooler temperatures. I hate that folks have flooded and it is so very sad that some folks have lost their lives, but we needed rain so badly that this is a blessing. The weathercaster said last night that they are predicting a cooler and wetter July than usual. Anytime you can get a cooler July in Texas, I say take it and run.

I am taking Cindy to the Chocolate Angel tea room today for MY birthday. There is something wrong with this picture, but darn if I can figure it out!!!! Hope your golf game was more to your liking. It seems you are getting back into golf more these days. Good for you. You have to keep up with Kev, so you two can play together from time to time.
