Yep, another rainy day Monday. This is not the same weather we’ll be getting later when Tropical Storm Nicholas promises to dump significant water on us. We’re watching the property to make sure everything’s draining, so when the heavier rains come, they have a quicker path to the bayou. Instead of the bayou finding a quick path back to us. If that seems likely, we start moving things upward from floor level inside the house.
How can I improve my Monday mood? Simple.

If you ever saw him or the band perform, if there were no drumsticks in his hands, or his hands weren’t busy on a keyboard, and a mic was in front of him, the hand against the ear is one of the most familiar sights of your memories. The hair length and color might change. The beard might come and go. The clothes changed over the decades. But the hand on the ear: That was forever.
I still can’t get my head around there being rain in Texas.
We are coastal. Texas is so large it has several climates.
I think I read somewhere that the British Isles will fit into Texas five times.
That’s mind blowing. Sometimes I look at countries in Europe and think how they are about the same size as states I’ve lived in. But Texas is a monster!
