WPA (Works Progress Administration) workers load a truck with flood debris in Louisville, KY in 1937. It sure looks a muddy mess, but since we haven’t seen a drop of rain since May,  I’d take a muddy mess right now.

  1. I remember many years ago reading about a proposed project to divert fresh water that eventually runs off into the ocean to areas that suffer from drought. Obviously it never happened;but I still think about that when I read about devastation from flood and drought.

    1. I saw in one of your posts that it had been raining and I got very envious. Our yard looks like we could make a dozen scarecrow heads with yellow straw. I’ll trade you a week of scorching sun for your rain.

    1. Yes, my fingers are crossed! Rain will come one day. But I just hate watching the trees and grass dying. The fig tree only makes withered little things now. And that dry thunder is such a tease, Paul. Isn’t that heat unusually hot for you?
