[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1615386, member: 4319"] Yeah, I saw some of those videos and pictures. I think it was worse than any fire footage from the mountain states I've seen. Totally surreal. YouTube Bastrop Fires for anyone that hasn't seen it. [media=youtube]vhJeDYQVtdQ[/media] Yeah, and Irene coverage 24/7. Yeah, I guess it's something people don't notice if they are not outdoorspeople or in agriculture. Lord knows if we get snow on the ground for 3 days people act as if the world is coming to an end. Saw a convoy of semi trucks loaded down with round bales heading southbound towards Texas on 75 the other day. Must have been two dozen trucks. Most of my complaints about it are petty and selfish, but I'm a petty, selfish person. I sat around in the A/C on all the 9,000 degree days thinking "when September gets here, I can do things!" Now it's here, and it has cooled off, but the lack of water is still bumming me out. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode called [I]"Time Enough at Last"[/I] where a bookworm survives a nuclear war and finds himself with all the time he never had to read all the books he ever wanted, then he breaks his glasses and can't read any of them. Might be cool enough to do my favorite things, but no water to do them. Yeah, the further south and west you go the worse it gets. But I've never seen Arkansas like this; the locals I've talked to are saying you have to go back 30 years to get close. Wild to think they had record flooding this spring and now hardly hardly a trickle on anything but tailwaters. La Nina is a *****, man. When you're used to getting a good amount of rain it really seems weird when it stops.
