Volume 18 - Day 197/168, 2026 - Thursday

Since the rain started on Tuesday, we have recorded just a little over 3 inches of rain at the Curious House. I expect many of you have heard of the flooding to the west of us, and they are getting more rain as we speak. We are expecting a little bit more rain overnight, but, while we are happy with the rain, there has been a lot of property damage to our west, and I believe two people have lost teir lives. We will all start drying out tomorrow, and hopefully it won't be too long before we have more rain, but a little rain at a time is the best here. I was up very early (4AM) this morning and took my neighbor James to the airport for his 7:30 flight. The drive was not bad at all, and when I got home, I piled up in the big chair with the dogs and took a nap. Later in the morning, I put on some pants and went to HEB. I was in the '15 Items of Fewer' line, and the woman in front of me spent $324 on groceries, and I believe she was over the limit. I said nothing, but I'm telling you. That was about all I did today, and I can't think of anything I didn't do, so that is just fine. I may drive in to Austin tomorrow, it is still too early to make decisions like that, and I will know more tomorrow.
