How Dry is Texas ?

[littlewolf]

A buddy out of Longview said he'd killed a mosquito that was carrying a canteen.

A man in Dime Box said the chicken farmers were giving the chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.

In Hord's Creek Lake, they caught a 20 lb catfish that had ticks on it!

But just this week, in Bryan, a fire hydrant was seen bribing a dog.

It's so dry in Odessa that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks, and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.

1. I was trying to think of something clever

but it's just too miserable to joke...sigh.
I spent the last week in Houston and La Porte, and actually got a little teary eyed when storms blew through.

2. Those are good, very good. Needed the laugh today.

4. we had rain this afternoon. dropped heat. we were thrilled. looked at garden and dirt darker

but still the cracks in the dirt, so not enough water to much water anything.

but a way drop in heat. first time in weeks and weeks

5. same here...was in mid 90's and now after the shower it's 77

it's actually warmer in my house than it is outside...less the humidity. :)

Everyone ran out to try to be first to spot the drop

13. Howdy. I remember going to WF for Cowboys' training camp

in the late 90s. The heat there was much more extreme than in the Metroplex. I'm afraid we have two more months of hot and dry weather.

14. The summer of 1998 we got up to 115.

That was in August, though.

George W. is paying a company to transplant a bunch of trees from the Amazon to Crawford so he can have a rainforest on his ranch.
