It doesn't do much for my hair, either.

We're starting to get a bit soggy now here in Central Texas. Actually, we're not starting to - we are. We're soggy. The rain can back off. It's cool.

We've been in a drought for several years, and we're thrilled to have had a rainy spring, no question. Our lakes are full for the first time in recent memory. My yard looks great. I haven't heard the status of the aquifers, but I have to assume they're looking better. It's been supah!

But now we're having flooding everytime it rains, and the rain is coming in big doses - like 6 and 8 inches at a time. Several people have died this week, and it's supposed to rain like crazy all weekend long, which means more people will likely die in flash floods. I think most people's Memorial Weekend will consist of sitting inside watching TV.

So, rain, thanks for stopping by, and can we get you a doggy bag for your trip elsewhere?
