Hot Again

So another hot one in the forecast for today. Maybe as high as 110° What the h***l!! Jiminee yikes gee whiz. Enough already. We were woken by the fire siren at 6:45 AM. I pray it wasn't for a fire. Pretty bad when you pray for an ambulance run, not a fire run.

Did anyone see this news blurb? A sandstorm in Utah caused a multivehicle crash. They say there were 51 MPH winds associated with this storm.

A dry year so far this year in Musselshell County where I live - only 4.5 inches of any kind of moisture since January 1, 2021 per the National Weather Service. Many areas get that in a good rain storm.

Everything is dry; the grass, the trees, the air. I feel that if God lit a match in the sky and dropped it over us, the entire county would explode in a giant fireball.

But perhaps maybe possibly we will get some rain come Wednesday night. But I'm not betting the house on it.
