It's all Texas's fault. Y'all need to turn the water off or send it to California! Really Two weeks past and another one beginning. Oh well, it beats the ice and cold weather.

Trailerking - you said that wrong, it's "ya'all could start a rice plantation"!! LOL, having spent a semester in college in South Korea with LOTS of rice plantations and the accompanying humidity, and with Mom retiring to Knoxville, yep, humidity, heat and the rain would make TN a perfect place for rice plantations

I don't know about Tn, but where I live (near New Orleans) it's been raining about 8 inches a week for the last couple of weeks. Of course we can handle the rain better than most, (it normally rains 64" a year here) but still...
It looks like it is finally clearing up though. Today's humidity is a super low 50% (it is usually 70-80%+). You know it's getting bad when you must wade through a few inches of standing water in your yard every day just to get to your truck. The mud and ruts are so bad that it almost got stuck in my own gravel driveway. I have a good crop of crawfish in my own back yard!

It has rained so much in Shreveport LA area that the gravel in our friend's driveway has all sunk and all they have is mud. California could use the rain, but the rain seems to need the Gulf of Mexico.
