The drought continues

[jhetley]

We haven't had rain for, what is it, seven days? Eight? I expect to see tumbleweed and horned toads any day. After that, the sandworms.

Else, very little news. Note to Elder Son -- your paternal aunt has scheduled her annual pilgrimage. You will be expected to appear during the duration. Herein fail not at your peril.

(Younger Son retains an exemption due to the stress and strain of grad school and lack of adjacency, mitigation factors increased by a Specialty Exam over the festive break. Oh joy, oh rapture...)

Now to go off and cheer for the underdogs in a couple of football games.

Seven days, ha ha ha!

We haven't had any since March.

I'd be glad to send you a token rainfall. How does 10" sound? You don't have to take it all in one delivery.

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

Two years' worth? Yes! Send 'er right over!

Okay, 10" will still leave us solidly in positive territory, relative to averages. It'll take a while for the requisition to work through bureaucracy -- you can expect results in maybe five years. Or ten.

. . . you mean, business as usual, sigh.

Universal rule -- you want a pencil, go off-base and buy it. Don't try to wangle one from the Supply sergeant...

This is true. And if I want dead-of-winter weather, i have to drive all the way across country to the east coast in July or August to get it. Where they have actual real rain, like, you know, the two or three half days of winter we get some years.
