We got hit today by one of the weatherman’s pop up thunderstorms. We had a 50% chance of thunderstorms and it rained here for an hour so i guess we got our 50%. This summer has been kind of hit and miss for rain here so this storm was well needed. We are still ahead of last year and it looks like the drought is well over with. It is nice when everything gets green here such a nice change from when I lived in Arizona when everything was a nice dull brown the year round.

High price of life
With the price of a barrel of oil creeping up every day hitting a new high, the price of everything else is starting to go up also. We have decided to stockpile food and water. We have put away the first box this week and more will follow. We have decided to do this just in case there is a natural disaster here in America. I see a trend of more and more disasters this year, from tornadoes to earthquakes, America is being hit hard and most of it is not reported. I hope we never have to use our stockpile but we will have it ready.
Rampage
Mother Nature has been on the rampage of late, between the cyclone in Burma and the earthquake in China. I am sure that those parts of the world are wondering what brought this onslaught upon them. I consider us in the United States very lucky to have the resources to help in the event of a natural disaster. God speed to those affected and I for one hope that Mother Nature takes the rest of the summer off.
Dogs
People who do not have dogs do not understand the relationship between the human and the dog, there is nothing like having a loving dog cuddle up to you and look to you for his existence. Dogs are very loving and loyal when they are not mistreated. We have 5 Jack Russell Terrorists, they are active, loving, loyal, and besides being humans best friend they are like our children.
Weather station
My wife got me an electronic weather station for Christmas and Mother Nature gave it a work out the last few days, we got a bit over three inches of rain between Thursday and Friday, I know we had a drought last year I guess we are making up for it all at once.
We are two and a half inches above normal for the year so far, everything is green and wet it looks to be a good year this year.
