In the D/FW metroplex, my lawn is still green, I'm still running my sprinkler system, using the central a/c, set a new high yesterday of 83 degrees vs normal temp of 61 and a 20% chance of showers in East Texas later in the week.

2012 is the 2nd hottest year on record and the 5th driest. Rain hasn't exactly been plentiful or rainy for the past 4 or 5 years.

The wheat that I planted for the deer to make it through winter is just about gone.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
