That is what has to be described as a "brief shower"!! The patio was damp, not wet and in 30 minutes the patio surface was "bone dry." Oh, for some more of the wet stuff. . . . . . Bettye True, I can believe it. Our lake Merideth is slowly shrinking. If we don't get enough water to start filling it up. a lot of places like Amarillo, Lubbock, and Plainview will have to find alternate sources of water, not to mention this little town of Fritch will be in real trouble. grandma
