Fool In The Rain

I walked five miles in the rain this morning. I didn’t see another soul. Even the parking area near my turn-around point was empty this morning. There are usually one or two cars parked there when I walk by around 6:15 a.m. I was the only fool out walking in the dark, in the rain. We have now received 0.51 inches of rain this month.

The Rio Grande at 7:30 p.m. this evening. !Milgro! There’s water!

The Conservancy released water from Abiquie Reservoir. Why now? I have no idea. It’s past the growing season, and most of the cottonwoods in the bosque are suffering or bare, possibly dead. The release of water might be due with the agreements between Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. But it’s too little, too late for the farmers and the trees.

Pilot Light

Dawn

On my way to light a pilot, I saw a pilot light a balloon.

Spunk: “Hey Paparazzo! Hold your stupid camera level! I’m feeling The Moody Blues trying to hold on to this post!”

Paparazzo: “Oh! Are you feeling like ‘Ride My See-Saw’?”

A wall of rain that never reached us

Lighting was getting close

Loki: “Impresive lightning, Paparazzo. Where’s the storm? Where’s the rain?”

Paparazzo: The storm and rain seems to have Petered out before it got to us.

Loki: “That Peter god, or whoever he is, needs to ‘Man Up’ and start peeing on us!”

Paparazzo: “I love your cat logic, Loki!’

Spunk Awareness

Glenda: “Why are we supposed to be aware of Spunk?”

Silver: “Listen clueless, pathetic paprazzo. We should ‘Beware’ of Spunk!”

We Care! To be Aware of Spunk.
