Mr. Willy:

Drove from home (Columbus Junction) to Panora Saturday for family get-together. Drove 195 miles, through horrendous downpours on I-80 nearly all the way. Figured we hadda been getting some substantial rain at home.

Got home Sunday...0.15 inches. Wife gets pretty tired of hearing me gripe. I can't help getting discouraged. Never made it back to last year's starting point (and that was 3 feet from full) before it starting going down. No runnoff yet this year and already losing about 1/2" a day.


In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times. My wife figures I'm due to die any day now...
