Is it just me, or does it seem like we are getting more rain this year?  Or is it the fact the fact that I can't take the chance of getting rained on anymore because of my dialysis catheter?  :'( :'(

We are 12 inches below normal rainfall down here. I watched two serious thunderstorms come through here last weekend and not rain a drop fell here, but areas just a couple miles away got 2 to 3 inches. I walked in my yard and it sounded like I was walking on potato chips. I might have recieved 2 inches from Eddie and still need more.

Last week, it was basically blue sky partly cloudy, then all of a sudden we had a hellacious dust/sand-storm blow in, the air was orange (almost a burnt orange  :) ), and you couldn't see much...  then the sky was one big dark cloud and some hellacious rain came in...  I swear the air was muddy that day...

tom cat, I'm sure you've seen that before... riight?

I don't think we are getting more rain than usual, but I do know it is hotter than I would like it to be. Can't wait for it to cool down for some good riding.

I missed the better part of 2 months last year, this year I've barely missed anything due to rain.  It's a LOT less rain in DFW this year.
