For us in north Texas our weather has been pretty normal. Of course it's miserably hot, but rains earlier in the year topped off our lakes, and I'm hopeful we can get through the rest of the year without any water shortages. In fact, I looked out my apartment window a few minutes ago and saw this:
Normally we don't get these kinds of clouds build up until the heat of the afternoon. Maybe the rains currently one county west will slide this way. I'm ready for a rainy day. I think much of the country is ready for a rainy day/week.

I saw on the bidness news that Sandy Weill, the man who assembled all the parts that made Citi into the first megabank, now agrees with me that our big banks need to be broken up. (He obviously reads my blog. ;) He says "our banking system has been hijacked", and that banks that take deposits should be separated from those that take huge speculative risks. Amen Brother Sandy! But since he probably doesn't have any Congressmen in his back pocket like the banks do, I don't think it will ever happen. At least not until after the next worldwide economic catastrophe. (Ahem....back to that "end of time" theme?)
