Rain?   You had rain?   Sure looked like it would rain here, but nary a drop dripped

[ShorTea]

No rain for me. It is cooler though, thank goodness.

No rain here in Milan, or in Monroe, where I was when the storm passed us to the south.

We need rain bad, and a bunch of it.  Commodity prices are jumping because of it.

No evidence of rain here near the beach.

I'm thinking about this:

I'm wondering if Livewire had any rain today.  I had about 10 drops.

I was wondering the same thing about Livewire.   The way the wind was blowing and the sound of the distant thunder, I thought we might get a good one...... alas, we had maybe 20 drops here, Eriemaid.   Was hoping for much more for that corn

[livewire]

Thanks for thinking about me and my corn (and soybeans), guys!

Here in Milan we got about 9-1/2 drops.   

Not enough rain to make the bottom of the rain gauge wet.

Maybe tonight.  More chances of rain this afternoon.

GRRRR!!!!    I was so hoping for better for your area, Live.    Guess I best get outside and do the funky rain dance again.   Hoping for a decent amount of rain this week and will cross my fingers so tightly for you.

We got about 9-1/2 minutes of rain  quarter inch - just a teaser.

Just enough to wake up the mosquitoes probably

I just read something really good, it stopped me. I should read more!

With Americans, whenever the organized government does not prove its grant, the liberty of the individual citizen is sacred and inviolable. Elsewhere there are governments called republics; universal suffrage constitutes the state; but, once constituted, the state is tyrannous and arbitrary, invades at will private rights, and curtails at will individual liberty. One republic is liberty's native home--America.
 
Taken from The Duty and Value of Patriotism--John Ireland

This is part of one of many readings in a publication called America First, it is a compilation of speeches, poems, psalms and all sorts of things. It's available free as a pdf download. I'm enjoying it and putting myself in the spirit of the fourth!.

Happy Fourth of July

Must you make every topic about politics.     (Just kidding)

I'll just be glad when it's over. I'm tired of finding evidence of wayward fireworks scattered in my yard.

20 states banned fireworks because of the dry conditions...$2,500 fine in Indiana.

In other words, Milan is drier than a popcorn f a r t........

It did rain there the other day??  I was at the club on Sunday evening and it rained and hailed and my bike got washed............................  It needed it.....

BTW, that 308 is a sweetheart with a 4.5-16 x 50 on top with Talley rings.  7 pounds wet,  Just right for this old hunter in New Mexico in November.....

That should have been done here as well.  I don't agree with Snyder and this new law entirely.  It's a tinderbox out there.  I suspect local fire departments will be very busy over the next few days....
