The Ticker was delayed today due to unforeseen circumstances (hey, Unforeseen
Circumstances was my band's name in the Skull and Bones Society!), but I just
had to have a quick Tock about this miserable rain situation (hey, mis...oh never
mind).
That top graphic says it all...the dryness we saw over the summer has accelerated
during September to go along with plenty of heat. You look over that last 30 days,
which stretches into the second half of August, and you see lots of forlorn
rain totals.

And the numbers on these maps keep going up by the day.

"Relief is on the way!" I keep telling you that, but the rainfall keeps getting
pushed to the latter parts of the 7-day forecast, which makes it darned near
fantasy-cast territory. Now we're looking at a dimmed rainfall forecast through
the weekend, with our hopes switching to just after that period.
That should give you pause.
(Pause).

Like I keep saying...believe it when you see it! I learned that the hard way
when I bought that Hair Growth Cream from Checkosl...Czeckoslo...Latvia.
