For a state racked by drought any reports of rain are welcome. I see here the western part of the state got a nice rain and I heard on the radio the northern part of the state really got a nice rain. In fact there were complaints about the rain in the northern part of the state since it has interrupted wheat harvest.

I didn’t hear about the real dry spot in the state getiing much rain though, the south-east and south-central part of the state. I know I didn’t get any rain out of the storm and it’s really getting dry out here. Gathered some yearlings to the corral because I needed to pull porcupine quills out of three head and within minutes they had the ground beat into a fine, dusty powder and were really raising the dust. We desperatly need some rain, maybe the next system starting tommorow will bring some in. I kind of doubt it though.

Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies’ resources, and minimized their own. Titus Livius
