I just think folks like to compare the amount and then jibber jabber over the results ! :):):)

We seem to be a bunch of jibber jabbers

We got almost 6” in DeLuna. We had several ponds that were very low for a long time, and a couple that were totally empty and dry, and now they’re all full. Even our large preserve by the postal station/pool looks more like a pond now than a preserve.

Times are changing. The whole Earth keeps getting warmer starting about 10 years ago. So the air is warmer which allows it to hold more moisture. More moisture, more rain.

The ponds may look pretty today, but as the summer continues, people may find catfish swimming in their living rooms.

I'm going to start shopping for a helmet, for when the sky falls. I wonder if tinfoil would be the best material for a good one?

I called Community Watch and asked "how many accidents happened where gate arms were removed?"
Answer was ZERO

justjim 08-07-2024 10:58 AM

Could be not a lot of traffic, cars or carts, out and about.

We were out and about with 4 appointments in SS, Fenney, LSL not be skipped Monday. I counted 11 cars 4 carts, and the ever brave sprinkler guys.

Not enough motorists to cause accidents. But one cart had issues with the winds staying on the cart path

I drained our pool down 12” on Sunday; Monday morning at 4:45, it was within 3” of the top in Bradford.
