Sheesh...  We've had -one- thunderstorm for the month of April, and May has 
been dry thus far.  When I hit San Antonio three years ago, you could watch 
the wall of water from mid-May/early June thunderstorms walk across the 
highways and hit the building I was working in then.  Daily, if not four 
times in a day.  News reports included the fool who tried to drive through a 
low water crossing, had to be rescued by the city emergency folk, and took 
off running when they tried to hand him the $400 Rescue Billing.  Turns out 
he'd jumped probation and didn't want to be identified...

If you can't find a goat, try a sheep. (Grin)
 SD> We've been doing a water-cycle unit study.  This unusually wet weather
 SD> has enhanced the studies.  (You've GOT to look at the positive.  The
It has also encouraged sitting indoors, making teaching easier.  How's 
"Spring Fever" there?
 SD> next unit study planned is Indians.  We won't practice the Indian rain
 SD> dances!)
Plan your family vacation for this part of the SouthWest...  Practice your 
rain dances down here!! (chuckle)  We'll take all the help we can get -- 
stage three, mandatory water conservation...
