Thank You God

In my previous post I mentioned that we're in the middle of an "exceptional" drought - the USDA's severest category. It's so bad that rivers and wells are going dry, lakes are shrinking, and ranchers are selling off their herds because they can't afford to feed them.

In that earlier post I asked God to please send us some rain.

Last night we got two inches of the wet stuff.

Good job, God. Thanks.

Not to seem ungrateful, however, but two inches isn't a drought-buster by any means, although it it will help keep things alive a little while longer and lessen the wildfire risk. What we really need is a slow-moving tropical storm to blow in from the Gulf and hover over this region for a few days.

Whaddaya think, Big Guy? A little more help would be greatly appreciated.

And after You take care of that, I'd like to talk with You about the lottery...
