I'm still here, I was saying good night to nessy Sheep

we've been hitting mid-90s here, but it's not been upper 90s into the 100s like it was last year. boat load of rain this year, too, after a two year drought the whole area is nearly soaked, three of the four bridges from laredo into Mexico are closed, if I heard correctly this morning.

Heck, I missed you. Was watching the Tour De France with DH. Night ML. Bye

They decided to take it easy on you with it being your first summer. Could you send some of that rain out to West Texas? My dad could really use it. Texas is always feast or famine when it comes to rain.

I remember as a little kid in the 60's, my granddad taking me down to the Concho river in San Angelo and we watched cows and sheep rush by in the water. The flood crest came down so fast, some poor animals couldn't get to high ground in time.

I still have photos of a big rise on the Llano river back in the 1980's that had bridges closed all up and down it. We went to a crossing and the water was so high, it had backed up into the top of a waterfall that was part of a creek that fed into the river at the crossing.

The fires in West Texas almost reached my dad's town. At the last minute the wind changed and it burned towards three other towns instead. Over a million acres burned in Texas. I think this is the worst year ever for fires, or at least I don't recall a worse one.

they also said in the paper today that the flow into the lower colorado is less than half of the previous record draught of last 100+ years they have records for... we're getting into more and more watering restrictions, and every piece of ground is completely bone dry and packed hard

Back in the 50's they had two back to back seven year droughts (with a year of rain in between) and the San Saba river along with a lot of others dried up. There was a very deep hole of water on the San Saba that had a spring in the bottom of it and it was the only part of the San Saba in that area that didn't run dry. All the ranchers in that area had to take their herds to that hole for water each day and that's the only thing that kept a lot of ranchers from loosing their livestock and going bust. This is what my grandfather told me, I wasn't born until the 60's.

He said the ground cracked open so wide in some places that sheep would fall into the cracks and get stuck. They had to check those areas each day to pull out any survivors. Sheep aren't very bright.

It's time for bed. Have a good trip ML. Bye
