Yeah, Tom, it is big. In fact, Amarillo is closer to Denver than I am
(San Antonio) to Houston. We got 18 inches of rain in one friggin day
last October after one of the worst droughts ever. Since then it has
hardly rained at all. Feb - .01 inches. Jan - .08 inches. California
Dusters are pretty popular.
It was 89 beautiful degrees yesterday and 78 today. The neatest part was
the 15% humidity today. The Dak dries real fast in that weather!
Wouldn't rather be anywhere else, tho. God blessed Texas!
