It's Raining!

To most of you, this probably seems banal.  To those of us in Texas who lived through 2011, that rain is a beautiful sound.  We had a fairly wet spring and most of the summer, but we were so far behind in rainfall that we are still in a world of hurt.  We are still seeing trees die as a result of 2011.  The kicker to this is that Perry cut the Forestry Service's budget by 75% in the middle of the worst summer we have ever seen.  All but two counties were on fire in Texas last year when he made those cuts.  We saw so much destruction because of those fires.  There is nothing more frightening than fire.  It is a great equalizer.  It does not matter if you are rich or poor, if you are in the path, you will burn.  We did.  And Perry and his merry band of thieves just kept on stealing from the Texas taxpayer and are still going strong.
