I almost got Coke in my nose over this one

Wow, I just got home and we got over 4 inches.  I use a super scientific method, my dog bowls are 4 inches deep and they were over flowing !

I bought a Roku with the idea of getting rid of my cable TV.  When DH realized he could not get "Walking Dead" in real time, he said 100% no.

That is pretty much how I measured the rain!  We use feed buckets on the fence to feed the horses and one of them had water up to the 6 quart line! I told my husband "it rained 6 quarts!" he just laughed at me.  LOL!

We've had 5 1/2" since last Saturday

The show Revolution is also available on Netflix for streaming. Another similar EMP-type show as "Jericho" which I enjoyed a good bit too.

In Revolution at least I kept wondering how nobody could forget that before we had electronics we still had steam engines and even purely-mechanical diesel engines. The shows are entertaining, and I think we all could stand to learn a bit about what life was like 100 or 200 years ago. When asked where food comes from and people answer "the grocery store", we have an opportunity to educate about the origins of the food we eat and the conditions the livestock experience before coming to the grocery store and our restaurants.

Woohoo! Almost 2" of rain in the last couple days according to my rain gauge here near Abilene, TX.

I agree.  These end of the world movies are becoming popular probably because of the sorry state of the US at the moment.  I love on Revolution how Texas is it's own country.  Wouldn't that be a dream come true?

Yes it would & congrats on the new chicks

I still maintain that who we become is based on our choices, not on our birth condition. There are untold millions of examples of two people born in the exact same condition or family and one becomes a loser and the other a winner.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson comes to mind

GOOD MORNING TEXANS!

As of 6 AM we had received 4" of rain!!!

Jockeyeba, my dh and I just saw 'Gifted Hands'. I am now reading Dr. Ben Carson's book. Excellent read. I think they should have done a movie on the mom!

Yes!! I love him, such a good person. I know he does surgeries free for people who cannot afford his services. Ron Paul did the same when he was still in practice and Rand Paul does free cataract surgery for the elderly. People who know what it is to work hard to get where they are who still give back to those who are not doing as well as they are. What a concept huh?
