Rain in the desert

Just to make us feel at home, it rained today. It was in the low 70's just before the rain, and it dropped about 20 degrees during the rain storm. Everything is so dry here that the water runs off. They have detention ponds along the roadways to keep from flooding the streets.
We were going to hit a few balls at the driving range this afternoon with Wayne and Tary. We all went to lunch, and while there the deluge began. We stopped off at the driving range after lunch thinking that maybe it would stop, but it just came down harder. We will try again tomorrow. So now Joyce and I are back at the motorhome. I was hoping that the Washington / Arizona basketball game would be on one of the local TV stations, but no such luck.
Joyce is doing laundry and reading a book, and I think I will have a rum and coke and bide my time until hand and foot (card game) starts in about an hour and a half. I would have taken some rain pictures to post here, but most of you have seen it before. Stay dry!

Sun is out bright and beautiful here, but cold! Still expecting rain/snow mix this coming week. Regarding your ribs - a new way to cook them? In the round??
