I understand the relief, Gary, but after a few years, once all the 
bugs are worked out, you should get used to the fact that they really 
do become reliable.  ;-)

This has been a most unusual spring/summer. Unlike last year, spring 
seemed at least a month late in getting here. Most of our green stuff 
seemed puzzled as to why it was taking so long to warm up, and then 
it started to rain, as if we had suddenly been transported to 
Seattle. For the last 6 weeks it seems like it has rained at least 
every other day, and each time it's been a real downpour.

For the last week or so we've had an average of one big thunderstorm 
per day, sometimes two, and they're not just nice soft rains. We've 
gotten deluged with an inch or more per day, which is not such a big 
deal when it happens occasionally, but when it happens over and over 
again it's HUGE.

I hope Gary and Bev don't get washed away in one of these.
