I haven't even had two inches of rain this week. It must be why all my plants are stunted.

Phew, clouds have come back. That's far more like it.

.70 today and the .17 yesterday brings up over 8 inches on the month. 8.78 so far in August after 15.08 in July and 8.46 in June. (32.32 in less than 3 months) With 23.86 since the start of July, it means I have averaged 1/2 inch per day for 6 weeks now.

Wow the sun is actually out!

August 7.28 July 15.08 June 8.46 May 3.12 (stein!) April 5.55

2.25 at home in past hour or so. 7.28 in August and over 30 inches since June started. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTNORWI24

To think I only had 5 inches of rain in May. The 27 inches since June 1st have wiped away that abnormal dryness.

This Mendon station shows 4.31 so far https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTRUTLA25 This one east of Clarendon is next highest I have found in that area at 2.44 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTCUTTI1 2.49 at the one by my house.

Up over 2 inches at the house now, 1.72 hr/rate https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTNORWI24

Close call for Amtrak in VT last night: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTNORWI24

46 here

Use your Illusion.

13.48 for July to date here after 8.46 in June 21.94 in 7 weeks. On the plus side was last night's rainbow: Yes Hyde Park Vermont is hopping at 7:30 on a Friday night. (I stood and lingered in the middle of the road to look)

This was invaluable up here of late. I don't know if it as thorough down in Mass. https://newengland511.org/

Plus they live in Arizona and its the summer.

I missed them. They finished up (at least their original run) before I got old enough to go to shows.

They were the band I always wanted to see live when I was young but never was able. My only complaint about current country music that I run across on the radio is the amount of autotuning is odd to me for that genre in particular.

I'll take ""Rejected TV pilot shows" for 100 Alex

I manged to make it home, some light rain now. 2.41 so far. No issues around the house.

Big Country was better
