Tuesday: A day to: pray for rain.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we
can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

I am so sick of the word and reality of drought. Or, as we put it here in NorCal: Drought. We have had a very dry “rainy” season so far. We did have a bit (like .15”) overnight on Friday last, but we are way behind in seasonal totals.
More rain is forecast for this week and I am praying as fast as I can for a healthy amount to fall on the region.
The local newspapers have been covering the possibility of water rationing ahead for us. I’ve lived through that, too--several times in my life here in the Bay Area. I sure don’t want a repeat, but fear there will be.
And, of course, drought and our other nemesis, wildfires, are strongly linked.
So, I want to see more of this
and a bit less of what many people, even here, still call “good weather.” That is, sunny, warm, and dry. Balance, please! We need more heavenly moisture.
How’s your weather situation?
Meanwhile, I should just chill out. . .
