Rain, Rain…Stay Away!
Today is beautiful outside. Sun shining, only a few clouds scattered across the sky. And although I’m stuck inside behind my desk all day, I’m happy. HAPPY IT’S NOT RAINING ANYMORE!!!
For 2 weeks straight, it rained. Everyday. All day. And I can’t stand rain. Yesterday and today have been gorgeous. I even got to wash my car…gave it a bubble bath. On National Geographic’s website, they posted a photo taken by a NASA satellite between June 11 and June 20.
About 48,000 square miles (124,319 square kilometers), an area the size of Mississippi, was pounded by rains. Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas were hit with more than 330 percent of their average rainfall. In Texas, every major river basin flooded, an event that had not occurred since 1957, according to the Associated Press.

That’s usually the case down here. But I don’t think it’s gotten above 80 since its been raining. Today was 90-something…but humid as heck too. Bleh.

derrich why you don’t wanna see rain anymore? Our country needs rain (Turkey) and we have real trouble at summers. Our barrages out of balance. And i think we could start a new war because of Water, in next summer.

Warren and green…you guys can have the rain. I’m sick of it. Our aquifer (water supply) is full. We definitely don’t need anymore.

Send some of that rain here Derrich! We’re in a bit of a drought and could really use it…though I think we’re slowly catching up.
Here’s a cool link I found that shows the whole U.S. and what parts really need rain. I thought that was interesting.

Hope you stay dry!
Shine on,
