P.S. Our Central Texas drought is over. 1/2 inch of rain earlier this week and already this morning another 1 1/2 inches and 80% chance of rain rest of the day. Thank the Lord. Nobody outside our area knows, but we've had our share of range fires also. Two golf courses burned, because some idiot golfer threw their cigarette on the fairway grass, ( no green grass around hers), and one lady was mowing her 10 acre yard when sparks from her lawnmower caught the yard on fire and burned the whole 10 acres, not her house and barn though. Then the 50+ mph winds we had last week blew a power line down just southeast of me and the resultant sparks from the line breaking, burned 400 acres. As I drove down to the ranch yesterday to feed Calico, every few miles I saw where cigaretts had again caused fires along I-35. Most were contained in the median or put out before they reached the service roads, but some made it through and into ranch pastures.
Hopefully, this will help fill our lakes and streams and fishing can get back to normal.
