I took great pains to stay dry, mainly for the camera's sake.<BR/><BR/>Ash: (about the feet) Thank ya, M'Dear!<BR/><BR/>Lou: Desert rain IS wonderful! And one of the reasons is probably because we don't get a lot of it, although we got even more last night. Makes for GREAT sleeping in an RV! And... foot fetish? <B>;-)</B><BR/><BR/>Dawn: Thanks to you, too, Ma'am!<BR/><BR/>Cat: Lin's loss threw me, too. That may sound strange, as I've never physically met the woman. But I I've come to know her pretty well through her blog and the lengthy e-mail exchanges we've had. A catastrophe of this proportion, and at such an early age, makes one stop and think. A lot.<BR/><BR/>As for your question: Nope, I was sitting down...and hadn't even started on the beer (at that particular moment).Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-82544911926428423432008-07-15T11:07:00.000-06:002008-07-15T11:07:00.000-06:00Buck, haven't been around for a while.

Lord knows I DO love 'em!<BR/><BR/>Morgan: One of THE most memorable rain storms in my entire life was spent under the overhang of the Davis-Monthan AFB (Tucson) BOQ in the company of a very lovely woman. We sat out there and watched it rain for literally hours, smoking, drinking beer, and taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of a perfectly <I>brilliant</I> late night/early morning desert thunder-boomer. Today wasn't like that at all, but your comment dredged up memories of that night. Thanks for that!<BR/><BR/>And should you decide to venture out of Sacto at some point in the future, I've got a whole GAGGLE of beers in the fridge with your name on 'em.<BR/><BR/>Jenny: We got about a half-hour's worth of rain, all told. But it's still threatening outside... so keep your hopes up!Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-9448992144518539042008-07-14T18:25:00.000-06:002008-07-14T18:25:00.000-06:00None here today (yet), except for a bit on some of...None here today (yet), except for a bit on some of the farm. But what we have gotten in the last week is MOST welcome and I'm grateful for it! I love sitting outside during a storm, even if I get wet.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967546226890745086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-31736179410971087142008-07-14T18:09:00.000-06:002008-07-14T18:09:00.000-06:00My family left Tempe when I was six, but I can sti...My family left Tempe when I was six, but I can still remember the metallic smell of the desert air right before one of those summer floods. Water through the streets, covering up my tiny bare feet halfway up to my knees.<BR/><BR/>I do not recall whipping wind or sideways rain, though. AZ is just as flat as NM, so I'm sure it happened. But for 36 years now, sack-o-tomatoes California is as close as I've gotten to the desert country. Should fix that someday.mkfreeberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265933747192068934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-84474573148693503962008-07-14T16:59:00.000-06:002008-07-14T16:59:00.000-06:00After Saturday night's rain, Sunday was sunny and ...After Saturday night's rain, Sunday was sunny and breezy....after my 6 hour umpire gig, I downed at least a handful of brews and 2 cigars.....<BR/><BR/>The spice of life.PRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429172501061105316noreply@blogger.com
