The tease

Drove the family submarine home from Long Island yesterday.  Nine inches of rain at Kennedy airport and up to 11 inches in some south shore locations.  Meanwhile, when we reached Ulster county the rain had tapered to drizzle and when we checked the forecast for the North Country, it was sunny and warm.  Oh well, they are promising up to an inch of rain later today and tonight, so we will see.  It has been a cruel July and August so far. On the bright side, I did pick some tomatoes last night, and the skunks and raccoons shared a few ears of corn with me.
