Some aren't blessing it too much because it often causes floods but the house is on relatively high ground so flooding up here is not likely until it's a Biblical deluge so the blessed rain is wonderful.
Yevette had to come out there as well as probably no-one gets more fed-up with the Hell Sun more than they. It showed its nasty face yesterday but to the great joy of many the rain is back today. If that river down the sidewalk doesn't scream for a kid with a toy boat, what else ever would.
You may hear talk of Texas drought again sometime but it definitely won't be this year.
Yevette was a little frosted or more than a little in observing how all the concrete channels the water to the street while the ground is absorbing everything it can. The drought isn't so unlikely when such incredible volumes of water are wasted with almost all of it going down sewers when they finally catch up and the water starts draining away.
The water system in Fort Worth obviously doesn't have the capacity to handle the volume but far be it from a Texas governor to fix anything. See why, below.
Insofar as the DFW complex is one of the largest water consumers in the state, the egregious and reckless wastefulness with water serves Texas straight into Nestle's hands which steals it from somewhere else and sells it at great profit anywhere else they can hustle it.
Why Texas does nothing about the problem:
Texas has more private for-pay prisons than almost every other state in the country. All or most of them are used as brutal concentration camps for people who illegally crossed the border.
The government in Austin has more money to spend on torturing Mexicans than it could be bothered to spend on any public works projects. They're the first in line to talk of fiscal responsibility and how they manage to speak without dropping their pants remains unclear since it's not their mouths doing the talking.
Hat tip to Texas Republicans on that. There's irony in it as Austin is probably the left wing center, as much as anything is left wing in America today (i.e. not much), and it's somewhat amusing both should be in the same place.
