Bloglines has been having a problem for a long time.  Some blogs just weren't updating at all.  Yesterday someone at Bloglines must have applied the cyber Ex-Lax.  Hooray.  Mr. Volk's feed is working again for the first time in about three months.

I was raised to be thankful for every drop of rain we can get, but I am now officially tired of rain.  I could go without another drop for, oh, at least two weeks.  The rain gauge was full when I went outside to feed the dogs a little while ago.  It had 2 1/2 inches in it yesterday, and that was the accumulation of about a week.  So that means it rained at least 3 1/2 inches here today alone.  Maybe more, I can't tell since the gauge was full to the brim.  Several of the small farm roads around here have flooded, but none of the roads we need to use, so we're still mobile.  In the flood of '98 we were stuck at home for three days before the roads opened.
