I have never been to the Pacific Northwest. And even if I did, I am sure I'd have to live there for months, years before I could say I understood it. So maybe when I imagine I know what I am talking about, I know nothing. I am from a place where it rains a lot. We need to find a map and see whether it rains more in Oregon or Louisiana. I am familiar with life underwater. Yes, it gets hot in Louisiana, and evaporates yesterday's rain so that it accumulates in the sky, and rains down again, every day, every day, every day. God said, "never again will I make it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. Except in Louisiana." But my family moved to Louisiana in 1760. Laurent Vignes, the first of my family to come to America, was born in 1740 at Lourdes, France, and died in Pointe Coupe Parish in 1780. He fought with Galvez in the American Revolution, not too many people learn in school about those battles, Kahokia and Kaskaskia (sp?), but I am eligible to join the real DAR. That's almost 240 years of Vignes in Louisiana, and we've got webs between our toes.

It just doesn't seem fair. We need rain so desperately. Everything is dead. We are starting to find dead mice and birds in the pool; they drown trying to get to water. Gaugs, I am very worried about Tesh. He's acting really really weird. Something's wrong with his eye, but the weird part is that if you go near him he flinches--- like this tic almost. It's hard to explain. He ate fine, he's just hiding and weird. He;ll let me pet him. It's just when I walk by he acts as if I were going to slap him.
