Wake up and get in touch with the real world. <br /><br />We are in the middle of an extremely devastating drought. Our farm and rangelands have dried up to the point that in some areas it looks like West Texas or New Mexico. Creeks and ponds are going dry. We desperately need several inches of rain to get those water levels up and to initiate the growth of green grass before the fall frosts come. Ranchers are already feeding hay and grain due to the grass shortage. If we can get some heavy rains, the grass will start growing and they can get a reprieve for a couple of months before they have to start winter feeding. <br /><br />Do we want tornados? No. Do we want flooding? No. However, when we need things and ask for them, we should be thankful and take the good with the bad. Things are not always naded to us exactly the way we think they should be. <br /><br />Don't worry, there will be plenty of other football games for you hog fanatics, there may not be another opportunity like this to put a real ding in the ravages of the drought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
