Default So how long is a cubit?

Might need to start working on our ark.

Average rainfall total for June here is around 5 inches. So far this month we are over 21" with more than 6" just today.



I know most of you out west are putting up with dangerous heat and some of you may even be threatened by all those wild fires. Wish we could send some of this rain your way.

Yeah, Emil. The combination of St.Augustine, Johnson grass, dollar weed and clover, and possibly some other type of grass has really taken to all the rain.

Getting around was a chore yesterday evening. Today all the streets have drained. Advantage of being close to the coast...good storm drainage. Also the reason most of us locals don't swim in the Mississippi Sound. We go out to the barrier islands where the sand is sugar and the water looks like Destin or even the Bahamas depending on weather in the Gulf.

Hey, Joe. It was a rhetorical question.

And no wonder your BB 03 died in just over a year. From your sig gif it looks like you let it run around without a driver way too much.

You, sir, know your bible. Having been raised Catholic, I was more familiar with the Baltimore Catechism.
