Rain, rain, go away . . .
You hate to say that when you live in Lubbock, the land of the perpetual drought.
But seriously.
We are apparently getting to the 8 inch mark (in one day!), and all public & private local schools have been cancelled tomorrow due to the dangerous--and sometimes impassible--roads and streets.
Of course, LCU has not cancelled its classes. It's not ok for the children of Lubbock to put themselves in harm's way, but apparently our potential drowning is of little concern. Hmmmm . . .
None of this compares to the problems faced on the coast in the next few days, or to the problems in Cuba and other hurricane-ravaged places to the south. While it is inconvenient here, it is deadly there.
Pray for the rain to cease, the roads to clear, and for safe driving conditions tomorrow. (Anybody have any great "rainy-day" activities for kids? I think we're going to be inside for a while . . . !)

They did eventually call off LCU. And we ended up with 7.8" officially for the day.
Did you float away? Permian played in Lubbock last night and we thought about coming but decided not to because of the weather.
If you didn't already get a chance to go puddle jumping, it's a great post-rainy day activity. Put on your flip flops and swimsuits and see how many puddles are in your neighborhood. (I find this to be a particularly good father/son/daughter event.)

I wish you would have come--we would love to get you to Lubbock, rain or not!
A big, big "No" on the "putting on your swimsuit" and jumping in puddles. Puddles, yes. Swimsuit--I don't think so. Not in this lifetime. I'll be sure to pass on your idea to Rob. :-)
Love you, friend!

Oh--no, I didn't mean YOU had to put on a swimsuit! I would never recommend a 40-year old woman put on a swimsuit and run through the streets, and certainly not my dear friends who has a strong aversion to such! No, that wasn't what I meant at all!!! Kids with their cute little bodies, yes. Rob, sure, why not? You, go along and take pictures so you have an excuse to avoid splashing.
