Kari, I'd welcome a rainy summer just to get rid of the blast furnace we're living in. Can you send some rain this way? Please?

It comes in little drops of water out of the sky and sometimes it comes down in sheets of water from big, black clouds. Sometimes, it even rains all day.

When was the last time you had any rain and more's to the point, how do you cope with these long, dry periods you've obviously been having?

Thanks for that reminder, Andrew. I kinda thought it was something like that.

There's a fairly wide disparity on when we've received the last rainfall in San Antonio. The official records are compiled at the San Antonio Int'l Airport. But I don't know a single person who actually lives there so individual neighborhoods have slightly different data. My specific neighborhood has received less than 3 inches of rain so far in 2011 as recorded by a local and official NOAA monitoring station. The Airport has recorded about twice that. Normal rainfall for the first 8 months of any given year averages about 25 inches with a yearly average of about 32 inches. I think the last rain I actually witnessed was in early June when we had a brief thunderstorm in late afternoon. It dumped about .03 inches. A real frog drowner. (Sarcasm intentional.)

I'm coping by conserving local water and using imported water. In other words, I'm drinking more Carling Black Label and Guinness Extra Stout.

You have very good taste in imported water! I can also recommend Magner's Irish Cider - very refreshing.

Why thank you, Andrew! I had the good fortune to spend some time at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall back in the '70s and some local chaps tried to educate and introduce this Yank barbarian (their words!) to some of the finer things in life. I'll certainly give Magners a go. Looks quite refreshing.

 

[seavixen32]

Yank barbarian? How rude, but probably not too far from the truth!

I know Lakenheath & Mildenhall well, particularly from Air Show days.
