It is a swamp in Tucson, with the storms once again missing our part of town except for a couple sprinkles last night that amounted to only .05. I have never seen a more humid ,but dry, rain wise summer here, at least for me. 50 % chance today. We shall see.

It's nice, but sad to know I'm not the only one that has that problem Linda. Always very muggy and sweaty in this part of Chandler, but never a drop of rain. The east side of Chandler tends to get mroe of the rain than we do. That huge storm last night, literally just missed me by two to five miles....sigh!

Oh Linda, that is terrible that you keep missing the rain....Maybe today!

It has been so humid up here in Phoenix too...for a lot of the summer.

There's got to be some rain out there with your name on it, Linda!

Alan, too!

I think I need to change my name, maybe, susie ! I can sure relate, Alan, this area gets missed over and over but never missed by the humidity. Loving all these badges ! How about a 'rain always misses me ' badge.

:rofl:Maybe "rainyard", Linda I used to say that if I went on vacation, it would rain!

I love rain so much...I really hope we ALL get a bunch tonight!

A friend of mine lives in Tulsa. Says the drought is horrid and the outlying farm area crumbly and dusty like the "Dust Bowl". I told him to bury a toad fetish next to a dried up pond. That or rain dance. He's considering both at this point.

Lets all rain dance!

Alan and Linda... have you washed your cars lately?

hahaha yeah, that's it!

Would you consider going on vacation, soon ??? Rainyard a good thought.

Yes we did wash both vechicles. My car is still clean, but the truck got rained on because it always rains across town where our church is.

This has been the first year in the going on 7 that we have lived in this house that we have hada lot of rain. I have gotten some with all 3 storms and the one last night made my house shake!!

Rainyard, I would love to go on a little vacation but, alas, I have no $$ to do it. I'm truly living vicariously through everyone's facebook vaca trips.

Marie, I'm glad...happy! You needed the rain too.

Wow, major rain envy here, Marie.
