Welcome to the Inferno
More on the joys of horse keeping in hell later, but here’s something to make everyone grateful for the weather they have, whatever it is:
Eric Berger (Houston Chronicle blogger) recently posted about the drought situation in Texas, summarizing it up as: “Put another way, we have had half the rainfall in Houston since the beginning of February as we had during the driest such period ever in the city’s records. That, my friends, is horrendous.”
If you’re wondering, we’ve had two inches of rain in that period; the previous low record was four inches. I can’t remember our deficit from normal, but I think it’s at least 12” below normal, possibly more.
Meanwhile, our temps are already up in the 90s, and it’s barely June.
Hell. I am living in Hell.
This was not in the brochures.
