We too are on the Northeast side of Dallas and have seen enough rain to 
drown the frogs!  My neighbor had snakes swimming in his driveway.   To 
avoid the sucking mud the horses are huddling on the dry spots in the 
pasture--yuck.

I'm considering conditioning/riding on the "side" of the roads around my 
house again.  (something I haven't done in a couple of years).   The county 
has raised the road elevation making the footing messy but "okay" which 
isn't great.   All things considered-- it beats the alternative.

Providing I work up the guts to do this-- make it to [tiny] Westminster 
(with the horse) and back alive, it will be over 5 miles.  If this plan 
fails, you may hear about us on Channel 8.

Westminster has a new "biker bar/hangout" who said they will water my horse 
if I ride up there...maybe I should wait until 4:30 or 5:00p to get a few 
margaritas before the trip back home??

Whoever is praying for rain can STOP NOW.
