Still no pain. Really quite remarkable as this has never happened before.

I am of two minds, we desperately (really desperately) need that rain ... but I am quite happy not having the pain.

I hope by the time it gets here it is just a really good tropical storm that will fill the cisterns and give all the plants and trees a much needed watering. All my plants are seriously stressed due to lack of water. Lots have died or are in the process of dying.

So bring on the rain ... but not too much too quickly. Don't need the mudslides or flooding.
