Volume 18 - Day 198/167, 2026 - Friday

Well, the rain is over, and in three days this week, we received 3.09" of rain at the Curious House. Some places in Texas received almost 20 inches of rain, and rivers west of us (the Llano River in particular) are still rising. There is no rain in the forecast for at least the next ten days, which will put us right back in to a normal Texas summer. Hopefully, we will not just dry up totally between now and the next rain, fingers crossed. I had an appointment in Austin this afternoon, and Oliver went in with me, and on the way home, we just kind of took a tour through Austin, showing him this and that that he may not have been aware of. We also made a stop at Upper Crust, and I have sweet things in the refrigerator that will last me a week or ten days. Tonight, VPO and I went to Dahlia's for dinner, starting off with onion rings, and I brought half of my turkey and avocado sandwich home with me. We had meant to take a photo while we were at dinner, but we are forgetting that detail more and more. On the ride home, the photo accompanying this entry popped up on my feed, so I thought I would share it. About three or four years ago, in Playa, my first or second scuba lesson. HOODATHUNKIT?
