Rain, Rain, Go Away

Once upon a time, I cherished the hot, sunny summers we have in Texas. As I got older, though, the heat and humidity began to wear me down, so that I entered middle age as a fan of cooler summers. I even decided I liked it raining.

Well, enough is enough. This has been the wettest summer of my memory. And, according to KVUE News, the rainy weather -- including more "rain bombs" such as have struck Gainesville, Marble Falls, and D'Hanis this summer -- will continue into the fall.

The average rainfall for Austin for an entire year is around 32 inches. We have recorded over 34 inches already in 2007, at basically the midway point. Yeesh.
