After fretting over not enough rain for the past few years I never thought I would say that, but we've had enough for now. Another 1.75 inches on top of the 3.5 inches we got two days ago - and more in the forecast, along with the possibility of strong winds. With saturated soil already, that is sure to bring down some trees. Ugh. There was something on the news about how much these heavy rains are costing the city of Minneapolis as they have caused so many problems with the (deteriorating) roadways. Keeping up with current damage is preventing them from working on major projects that were planned for this year. Am sure this is a major problem in Iowa this year, both locally and statewide.
You may not believe in Global Warming, but anyone who watches the news has got to wonder about Climate Change, whatever the cause(s). Me, I've been a believer for a long time. Thank you, Paul Douglas.
Supposed to go to Albert Lea for dog shows this weekend. One day with a judge who ignored Argus in the group the only time she's ever seen him, and the other with a good breed judge and a group judge we've never shown to. Our competition is Pauli this weekend. The show always has a small entry, but this is record small I think. Some of the other Dals we might normally show against are in Ohio for the Specialty this weekend. Because we are doing Colorado next week, we had to skip Ohio. The Ohio club puts on excellent shows, but the judging panel was less appealing that Colorado's and perhaps the humidity will be lower in Greeley! Assuming the roads in Iowa are not washed out and we can actually get to Colorado.
