Now, when you live in a regular house, in a regular town, with paved streets and driveways and grass you do not think too much about the rain. Yes it does affect your daily commute to work and spoils you plan to mow the lawn or do some outside work. But it is liveable. There is no mud.
When you are here in south Texas gate guarding off of the main roads and the only thing around you are caliche roads and blackthorn bushes and the only way to get anywhere is on the caliche and it rains and you have to go out in the rain and walk in the mud and check drivers in and/or out and the mud is sticking to your shoes and trying to pull them off and you are getting wet from the rain and it is dark and you are feeling miserable and you are alone and there is no one to complain to and besides no one is going to care.....than my friends....than the rain and the mud are a pain in the ass!
As I sit here writing this all I see is wet, goey mud in all directions. As soon as it is a little lighter I will take a few pictures for you. The rain started about 10pm last night and is still going at 7am.
Mud straight in front of us....no, I am not going to turn off the lights!!!
Mud to the right of us for 3 1/2 miles to the wells! One tanker driver coming out at midnight told Linda that he would not recommend any one driveing back to the wells as he barely got out. The road is pretty hilly and slick.
So there you have it. And that is why we dislike it when it rains. And do not like the caliche.
Have a great day today....
And stay out of the mud!
Love to all of ya bums
Jim and Linda

Hey...Have you tried getting some wooden pallets and putting those down to walk on?
