I remember it...I golfed that day and I bet I lost 20 lbs.

Got a sunburn on my scalp too. Ouch.

I'm pretty sure that our news stations know to set up a camera crew to get video of these idjits losing their cars when they attempt to cross the dam. I've seen similar video from there before.

(there being that area by silver lake)

I have tried really hard not to complain about the rain....Because last year we were literally burning up..But...
I am missing playing golf, swimming in my new pool, we missed a trip out of town on the motorcycle this weekend....

But...What was the high temp last June 30???And all the lakes were drying up and...you could drive out along the country roads and the ponds and tanks were almost gone...So...We prayed for rain...and we prayed...
I think God has answered our prayers and our cup runneth over....
So I try not to complain as I don't want it to stop raining and then forget to rain again....LOL..

We are saving lots of money staying home so not buying as much expensive gas, not running up our water or electric bills...Giving our AC's a little break so maybe they will run longer...trying to look at the positive...LOL

Yeah...I walk outside each day, point at the sky, waggle a finger, and scream "NOT FUNNY!"

See, we can sit here and say, "we had it so much worse last year" but frankly, both situations...drought and flooding...have their major problems. One is not better than the other.

Yesterday, I decided I would not complain anymore because it's getting to be just so ridiculous that it's incredibly funny to me. I needed to run to the pharmacy...when I left, it was pouring. 5 minutes later when I arrived, the sun was peeking through the clouds. By the time I got home 10 minutes later, it was pouring again. Good thing I wore a hat.

I think I'm finding it funny because it's wearing so thin on my nerves. I hate driving in wet weather (my one and only real accident happened in a heavy rainstorm on I-40) and people drive crappy when it rains. I'm not worried about my apartment, since I'm on the 2nd floor, but I am concerned about my mother's house because it is so old and not in great repair. But I was concerned last year when the ground was cracking away from her foundation. Neither situation is good!

So that's my opinion. I won't complain anymore, although I'll admit it has had me a little depressed.

I won't complain about the temps, though. We had a summer like this once back home...not as much heavy rain but we kept getting the remnants of different tropical systems that hit the TX coast. It was kind of nice. But it wasn't flooding all the time.

I visited my parents last night and my brother and I caught fish by hand in the backyard.

I'm so glad I spent $40 bucks on tomato plants to watch the plants drown to death. So young, so tragic!
Their funerals are tomorrow, 10am.
Please no flowers, send your contributions to the Okiekatt Tomato Rescue Fund.


Festival Flood 2007
Besides dead plants and having to eat store bought tomatoes for a whole another year, I'll bet you can guess, it sucks to live in Guthrie right now. Town cut in half and there were more people downtown tonight "looky louing" than there is for 89ners. Geeeeee I wonder how I know that?

Hi my name's Lou, last name Looky. LOL

No it wasn't me, but I know that guy, he's a real Jerk.

Doesn't the "Make My Day" Law cover the driveway and front yard? Just remember to shout "he's coming right for me " just before you blow him away.

Heck no, he was in my back yard...Checking stuff out. I could have just set him on fire, and nobody would have asked.

This is what it looked like after we finally got it out.
