Drought Miserable heat but Summer Sipping 2000 Graham's LBV

Here in North Texas we are two feet down as in 24 inches for rain since January 2005. An exceptional drought on the official scale. It has been 100 degrees here every day for forever, the hottest average temp for any year on record.
Trees are dying form the heat. Grass is burned up and brown. Wells are going dry. Water shortages through out the area. Wildfires rampant.
The Breezaire has not turned off for months. My electricity bill is an all time record $844.

So tonight I am sipping a Graham's LBV 2000. To heck with complex TN's. Any port in a storm, any port in a miserable drought.

In contrast, on the east coast we are getting rain almost everyday. Its just crazy, I think we have had two times normal rain drops average. Not good for my tan but good to drink port inside the house

As of 8-25-06, we have had 24 of 25 days at 100 degrees or above. 103 on 8-25. It is getting very old and depressing.

Richard,

Don't be depressed, just open another bottled of chilled VP and watch a DVD of Ice Age

Good idea Derek. I am not sure if I am delusional but the current forecast is 80 per cent chance of rain for tomorrow :o

Can it be true?
I will open the port and pray.

Finally a couple of inches of rain and cooler weather. I am not sure the drought is over but any reilef is welcome. I will open a bottle of some VP tonight to celebrate.
