Dumb, and Staying That Way

 A brewery owner offered free beer when Trump dies. That's dumb, but after a visit by the Secret Service, he posted the agent's name, and phone number, with a message to tell him to stand down. That's more than stupid, and now he faces charges for doxing. He may be a shrewd brewery owner, but I doubt it. Somebody that doesn't realize their brand is dependent on all customers may find they lost too many by stupid actions. With the possible additional costs for attorney fees, or a criminal prosecution, he may find bankruptcy is in his near future, and his family may abandon him for being so dumb.

Rain Won't Stop Until Tonight

Yesterday, my wife, and I, made a push to complete some yard work. The grass was cut, and weed-whacking was completed. Forecasters called for rain, and man they were right. The first light showers started right after dark, and some thunder around midnight kept our dog nervous for about any hour. 

I woke during the night to some thunder, and awoke this morning to find it raining, with about 2 inches in the gauge. It's now at 3 inches, the rain has been steady for hours, and thunder tells me it will continue until tonight, when a late season front pushes it offshore. Radar confirms showers tracking from the West to the East, and the bands stretch hundreds of miles to the West. 

The grass will thrive over the next few days, and the opportunity for cutting is up in the air. With the amount we're receiving, it will take days for the yard to dry enough to mow.  

We needed the rain. Late Winter, and early Spring, were mostly dry, and between burning bands, and fire danger alerts, drought conditions prevailed. This will probably end our drought, and there is the possibility the next month will be wet. We'll see. One sure thing is the hotter conditions will accentuate the humidity, and many afternoons will be unpleasant. The cool of evening will bring the mosquitoes, and sitting on the porch after dark out of the question.
