Dudleys Diary

down in the Texas Hill Country. They are experiencing a drought down there right now that rivals the great drought of the 1950's. The rivers and creeks and lakes are drying up. The first two photos show the way this area normally looks when there is water in the river. The last three show the way the river looks now. They need some rain bad down that way and on into South Texas. Hopefully a tropical depression will come this month or next and bring some much needed rain. Dudley has been on a lot of great deer hunting trips down that way in the past and both of Dudley's kids have gone to summer camps in that area of the state. Dudley saw on the news the other day that Lake Travis right outside Austin is 44 feet low! Did I mention they need some rain down there in the Texas Hill Country? Not much going on today, am going to watch the Texas Rangers play the Angels in a couple of hours. The Rangers got beat yesterday in a one run game. They had the opportunity to win but did not come through. Frank went over and ran some errands this morning for his grandmother. After he did that he went over to his Aunt's house and took her SUV to the car wash for her. He came by the house for a few minutes to get his golf clubs and he is on the way for his annual golf outing with one of his buddies. Dudley has got to go, the dog is scratching at the back door, she wants in NOW!
