In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Tropical Deluge

 I poured almost two inches from the rain gauge the day before yesterday. This morning, I poured almost four inches of rain from the gauge. It's still raining, and it's forecast to continue for the next two days. 

There's a low pressure area around Brownsville, moving to the east, and may go into the Gulf. It's not forecast to develop, but could, and is guaranteed to lead to torrential rains along the coast, along with inland counties near the coast. We'll get enough of the rain to some minor flooding, and a saturated yard. The road in may flood, but we're ready.

  1. Stay safe! The weather/wind pattern is going to push it along the coast, so we won't see a drop up here.

    1. The system skirted the coast, and appears to have turned more to the north than forecast. We didn't get any rain after a light shower this morning, and this afternoon was partly cloudy with wind gusts only to about 20 mph. The system may affect northeast Texas over the next few days with showers wrapping around the low center.

  2. Wet spring. We'll see about the summer.
