That's more like it!

Currently 37. High of 48 predicted.

40% chance of rain tonight!

In the crockpot:

1 baking potato, peeled & diced
1 yellow squash
2 stalks celery
1 carrot
1 cucumber
1 pound ground beef, browned
1 quart water
Random spices to taste (only the green ones)

On high for...til I wake up, then served with crackers. Mmm!

Oh yeah.

Light mist of rain on the windshield, turning the street lights into stained-glass lumiéres.

Not enough to quench the thirsty land, but it's a start.
