Lived in Lubbock, TX for 5 years (that's west Texas). Glad I moved, my friends that are there said it has been a miserable summer.

No one expected it was coming?



When do Republicans ever concede?

Can't catch a break this year.

ansius: AdolfOliverPanties: This cannot be true.

Rick Perry and a bunch of people prayed.

Things are looking up for the economy then:

And a good thing, too, because clearly it worked wonders.

What an ass. What a flagrant slap in the face to the Constitution, and that coont is still governor. Boggles my mind.

AdolfOliverPanties: This cannot be true.

Rick Perry and a bunch of people prayed.

Hmmmmm...

nunpunter: Jixa: Our entire yard is dead, the plants in the greenhouse are crispy and none of our trees even flowered this year. We couldn't afford to keep everything watered as much as it needed. Even our pepper plants didn't bear anything. That itself doesn't bother me. What scares me is that the soil from our lawn looks like it has absolutely no nutrients in it at all. I'm afraid the soil is barren and we'll never have grass in our yard again.

Who would have thought growing plants in the desert would be expensive/difficult?

Jixa lives in Austin. Which is not anywhere near a desert.

We got a little rule back home: if it's brown, drink it down; f it's black, send it back.

jvl: Here in California, we refer to that phenomena as "Summer". Somehow we and our massive, multiyear reservoirs of water manage to last until the rain returns in November. It must be because God loves us more.

Or that you're getting your water from Colorado.

Have you no pity for the few Farkers stuck here? It's just as bad for us too. We've run out of water, I hope we don't run out of beer next...

God is mad at them for electing Rick Perry. He wanted them to elect Katie Perry but the message got jumbled on the way down.

Kar98: Or that you're getting your water from Colorado.

Is that how you spell desalinization?

Indolent: It's so bad here in Texas that when I drive over a bridge I don't even bother to see if the river I'm driving over has any water in it.

AdolfOliverPanties: This cannot be true.

Rick Perry and a bunch of people prayed.

Individuals are encouraged also to sticky-tape stuffed toys to walls, spend the day in their pajamas, refuse to swallow or blink, collect and catalog roadkill, perform a seance to call upon the ghost of Sam Houston and invest in magic beans. All such actions are equally as effective as prayer in addressing the problems affecting the state of Texas.

I just went outside and checked the temperature: 62 degrees Fahrenheit at 7pm. Sun hasn't set yet.

NEDM: Fellow Americans openly mocking and taking pleasure in their countrymen suffering from (one of) the worst drought(s) in the state's history.

George Washington would be real proud of you guys.

Like I care what that dope smoking racist would have thought.

Secession: stfu and do it already.

Gee, if only the government spent the stimulus money on the American infrastructure instead of bailing out the banks and auto industry. And this would really be a shovel ready job.

Di Atribe: basemetal: Yeah, it's real serious in this area. Worst heat and drought I've seen here, worse than any of the old timers have seen.

You're in Oklahoma, right? Have you gotten any rain at all? I don't think we've seen a rain cloud since May.

I just wanted to drop in and let you guys know that California has been 5-10 degrees below normal for two years now, and that we got 300% of normal rainfall this year...perfectly spread out so we had no flooding.

But God hates us cuz we got queers, legal pot and Gov Jerry Brown.

It is now.

Come on now. I thought Texans were all tough and boot-strappy and stuff.

I say helping them would be socialism. They bought their tickets, they knew the risks!

I got MY water from MY well. I don't want the gubment redistributing the hydration!!!!

/Plus Texas attitude is freakin annoying

I told you they were praying to the WRONG god.

I guess now we can look forward to all those religious 'tards admitting their invisible sky wizard doesn't exist or doesn't give a crap. Right? guys? right?!?

Pave it. PAVE IT ALL!!!

Agreed! Hehe

Texas should just be a big slab of concrete for airport hubs. It is like a big retard sink-hole.

I'm not taking any pleasure in the suffering of my Fella 'Muricans. But I am taking pleasure in 70 degree weather with a refreshing ocean breeze...

Thanks for that. It was the first thing to pop in to my head too.

Here in Connecticut it is 71 degrees and it rained a tons yesterday.


I guess god prefers east coast liberuhl elitists after all.

I'm contemplating replacing my backyard with 9 holes of miniature golf.

Sounds cool. Make sure you include a working windmill and giant clown-head with gaping mouth. :)

Sure as hell feels like a frikking desert, tho.

Took this picture from my car last Friday at 5pm on southbound Mopac. It's the AAFES building on Camp Mabry.


The news said the high temperature for that day was 106F, they're lying to make everyone feel better, I guess.

We've had a couple of water main breaks in Austin in the last week, as well. And August is just starting...

/there's a reason the tribes that frequented this region were nomadic.

Like so?

Dear God,

We Prayed™ and you've missed the mark by making it rain several hundred miles north. Since your aim in infallible, this must mean that we've not said enough Prayers™. Please forgive us (except the gays) and let our next wave of Prayers™ move your ever-loving, forever-correct heart.

Yours forever (but not in a gay way),
Gov. Rick Perry

P.S. On a personal note, God, should I run for the President of Texa... I mean, the United States of America?

Not sure how big your lawn is, but one thing you may want to consider is to take some compost to spread over your lawn in autumn. Where I live it's about $1.50 for a 25lb bag I think, and I'd say you could get by with a bag ber square yard.
Not a horticulturist or anything, but when we moved into our new place, the lawn was weedy hardpacked dirt. Got ourselves an aerator, compost, seed and straw, and it really helped. We only had to spend about $100 bucks total.
Of course, I'm in Illinois, and we've had no shortage of rain, but as far as re-nurturing your lawn, the compost will help a bunch.

They just need to pray to Baby Jesus some more and atone for their sinful lifestyles.

They must have sinned mightily for the Lord to punish them so greatly.

No taxes. No services. What do you expect?

I used to live in Kemp, TX so I'm really getting a kick...

No Sam Kinison jokes about moving to where there's water?

It's really an amazing development, a drought in Texas, which consists of plains and desert. What's next, Floridians start doing strange and wacky things?

jake_lex: SpaceyCat: Yes, no wonder things are falling apart when they haven't been upgraded in 80 YEARS. WTF?!?! Put some money into your cities and areas! But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, taxes are the devil!

If Rick Perry got his wish and Texas did become an independent nation, it would be a third world hellhole in no time at all.

Oh, there'd be a few rich places, like Dallas, Houston, and (maybe) Austin. But it would also have slums that people from Rio would be shocked by.

I'm thoroughly convinced that, should a teabagger like Bachmann or Palin or Perry be elected as President, within two years of inauguration people living along the US-Mexican border, in places like Texas and Arizona and California, will be living in poverty worse than that of Mexico. And the Mexicans will laugh and laugh and laugh when they deport desperate Americans back to their hellholes in the USA.

Wait, you mean infrastructure has to be maintained?

Republicans don't believe in science. So what's the point of even posting that?

mainer3578: It's really an amazing development, a drought in Texas, which consists of plains and desert.

It doesn't. Not normally anyway. Where the fark did you go to school?

It's been miserably muggy here in SW TN. We had three good thunderstorms that dropped a good amount of rain. I thought it would help cool things down, but it did only the opposite.

My water was out for about 6 hours last week to fix a water main. I got a notice on my door the water will be out for a while tomorrow as they fix another one.
