Drought


We ended 2005 more than a foot behind on our rainfall. Large portions of TX keep going up in flames. The freeways keep getting shut down due to grass fires along the edges (stupid smokers). The grass didn't just turn brown this winter -- it broke off right at the ground. Yesterday it felt like rain clouds building in the afternoon. We didn't get any actual precipitation but we woke up to a beautiful, cool fog. Here is a picture taken from the window of the car on my way to work. Hidden behind the fog are row upon row of closely packed homes.
