Good morning everyone, no change around here, weather is cool, a bit over 100, maybe rain, no one really knows for sure. Looking forward to Friday, something supposedly coming in from the Gulf, temps drop to the low 90's with a good chance of rain.
Why so concerned about it raining? Well, they say that we are in the worse drought since the year 800AD. I didn't know records went back that far, but for instance, Lake Mead, behind Hoover Dam is down 150', that's where Las Vegas, Phoenix and even parts of Los Angeles gets their water. They are saying that farmers are looking at a 25% cut in water allotments. Some aren't planting right now because of the lack of water and crops are drying up. That's why we need rain. Just a thought, they can pump oil and gas across the country using pipelines, why not do the same with water? Got too much water in New England or Mississippi? Pump it into Lake Mead....
Got a few appointments today, beyond that, still catching up on some much needed rest. Watch some of the old TV shows from the 50's and 60's. Even ones in B&W. Some plots are a bit lame, but they were the state of the art back then. Now we have CG and you can't tell what's real and what's not, but they all look the same to me, lots of action, shooting weird-looking guns, maiming, torture, cars and people flying in the air and even space ships, all this happening on a different planet than earth.
So much for that, have a great day and stay safe.
