Rocking and Raining




Okay, maybe this was a bad example, since he's looked the same for the last 30
years, but you get the idea. It's better that you get the idea because if I ever
get the idea we're all in big trouble.

The REAL idea, however, is that this rainfall event we're expecting Wednesday
through Friday had REALly better come through for at least the northwestern half
of the state.



Still looking at less than an inch for SW through NC Oklahoma, but even a half-inch
will alleviate a decent portion (sorry, no non-decent portions...this is still a
family Ticker) of those deficits that have built over the last couple of months.



More is needed, of course, but all other weather news is paused until this rain
arrives. How about some plain old science news?

Did you know that dinosaurs ate Strawberry Pop-Tarts?
