Glad to see you’re getting some percipitation. Hopefully it’ll put out those campfires on steroids up there. (It usually takes an early snow to put out the big ones — see Northern Idaho/Western Montana in 1910, Yellowstone in 1988 and the Bitterroot Valley in Y2K.)
I thought we might get some rain here in AZ from what would be left of the hurricane that is pounding Acapulco and Baja today. But a high pressure ridge is sending that to Texas. Well, at least it is cooling down here — it’s only going to get up to 93 in Phoenix on Sunday. Just as long as the weather is OK in Northern Arizona and southern Utah in a little over two weeks when Das Mutt and I pay the North Rim of El Grande Canyon de la Rio Colorado a visit.
It’s raining here in the flatland too and my dad’s in Absarokee has gotten an inch and a half+, which, of course, means the basement is flooding for the 4th time this year. Argh! I have a date with a rug doctor on Friday. But it’s worth it!
We got about 3 inches from Friday night on. That means I get to mud to the bus and back. NOt a lot of fun. I keep telling myself that we need the rain but sometimes that doesn’t help too much!

Heck, we even got some showers but they were expected. Put hay down, expect showers! Corn is finally all in the pile and life goes on. bonnie
