We'll see by the Belmont odds maker ot start any way. I like that 60% precip an thunderstorms. Down here in Texas nowadays we consider that a sunny day.

best wishes for Texas.....

Thanks, we are near a creek that gets pretty high and this year is unreal. We are on high ground though, pretty good grade where we live. And it's a smallish creek but many of the bigger ones and rivers and lakes are just reeking havoc on so many poor folks.

I've never see anything spring like this since we moved here in '85 and most every native/older timer than me say the same thing. It's raining again right now after a pretty nice partly sunny day. Squall line coming through and we'll see another 3-5 inches in many parts through the weekend. Lakes around here that were 20-25ft +below normal are now at normal level quite a number are 5-15-20 feet above the norm. Crazy, crazy.

Next week may give us a break for a few days. Praise the Lord, seriously . . . and especially for those who have lost so much because of all this.
