I should have told you this before but the summer heat has given me a bad case of lassitude. But here it is. The monsoon has arrived. As I have written before, that means a change in the direction of the wind. And that brings us rain from, of all places, the Gulf of Mexico. Up here the sky begins to darken and look something like this.
If we're lucky - - and I say lucky because our state has been dealing with a drought for years and years - - we may get some rain. Here it's been relatively light so far. Actually a long light rain would be the best because when it comes down really hard and severely it just tends to run off, cause flooding and actually doesn't do the land a lot of good.
So it's the good and the bad. Or maybe we might stretch things a bit and call it the devil or the angel.
Incidentally, Bobby Vee (Robert Velline) was a young man from Fargo, North Dakota, and the first entertainer I ever saw "up close and personal" right before he became a star.
