How About This?

Let's try a different subject and see how much hate this one will draw toward me:

We went through a TERRIBLE drought this year here in North East Texas and a BIG chunk of this part of the country. We are still WAY behind on rainfall with the lakes and ponds dreadfully and scarily low.

We have gotten a few inches of rain in the last weeks which has at least greened things up some. It appears that we will be lucky to have normal rainfall this Winter and Spring.

I'm sure that some of you are not happy to hear of my good fortune, but, there it is.

Larry,

Hope that you had a decent holiday. Why not take a break from here for a few days?

That's the essence of your problem Larry, you're always feeling rained-on, and seem to like it.

Very GOOD! I knew that the cream would rise to the top! Yeah, us nasty, unjust folks have to get it for our just neighbors to get it.

I knew someone could nail me over something as simple as rainfall.

I thought you would appreciate the biblical reference. Interesting that you classify yourself as the unjust.

We have had a record year for rain up here. It is raining right now and will continue through tomorrow. Wish we could send some of it your way. Drought is rough on crops, livestock and the folks who make their living in some way from them. Sorry ya'll are having a bad year.

Yes indeed it's rough on the ag folks, which in our ag based county, it hurts most everyone.

It does always seem to either be too much or too little.

Hope you don't get to a flooding stage!

If THIS is not a classic example of trolling, I cannot imagine what *IS*.
