Volume 12 - Day 230/136, 2020 - Monday

...and the giant cat, the undisputed King of all he surveys, walks effortlessly from the cover of the savanna to the only depression for miles around that still holds water in the months long drought that has overtaken the land. All the other wildlife has given uncontested passage to this formidable beast, and all turns to deafening quiet as he partakes of the life giving liquid that is so scarce in these times. Or, maybe it is just Barney that came to get a drink out of the water dish on the patio. Yeah, that's probably it. The rain chances in central Texas turned out to be ZERO chances of rain here on the Edge of Nowhere. It is not a surprise by any means, and I have no idea when the next chance of rain might be. The 'cold front' that came through last night did cool things off a little bit, but we still broke 100 degrees here and a little warmer in Austin. It was a little bit cloudy today as well, so that helped things out, too. Otherwise, just a typical Monday.
