Just Unbelievable - more rain here in Buda - In the past 72 hours we've gotten 4.6 more inches of rain. This means we are now at 33 inches for the year. We are 110 percent of normal and the strong Nino is only just starting to clear its throat. Just wait til autumnal frontal structures start interacting with tropical features in Sept/Oct. With the jet so far south, we'll get so much rain we will need arks.

West of us near Hondo they have been getting much more than us, three nights in a row, more than 10 inches some nights! That place is Waterworld!

Lawn mower is getting workouts on the regular, in a place where we usually have 103 degrees, hot sun and dust and brown grasses.

Not this year. I am gonnabe weeding that dreaded front flowerbed til my fingers fall off. HUGE water puddles are everywhere! Onion Creek has so much water! In July!

July has been the wettest month of the year for the eastern 1/2 of country since 2017.

Both Spain and Argentina are the most obnoxious Spanish speaking countries on the planet - but they are both pretty awesome places to visit.  It's tough.  BA is an incredible, incredible city.  Patagonia, Mendoza, the wine, the Andes mountains.  But in Spain you have Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, just tons of beautiful cities.  The food in both places is so so good.  Both populations think they are they are God's gift to the world.  It's a tough call.
