If it weren't for the drip irrigation running off the the 
pioneer well on the underground river we'd be gonners. 
Still, I may have to come a calling with all my containers 
by August. Elmer Kelton (great Western novelist) wrote The 
Year It Never Rained about the great 50's drought of 
Texas. Some old timers remember it here.

It is interesting to note that in 2004 and 2006 we had 29 
inches of rain on each of the Tuesdays before the 4th of 
July, giving us what FEMA determined to be 500 year floods 
almost back to back. Tomorrow is the Tuesday before the 
4th of July. I can only hope for rain, only not that much. 
It's feast or famine.
