The Hole
-------------------------

The boss ordered one of his men to dig a hole eight feet deep. After
the job was completed the boss returned and explained an error had
been made and the hole wouldn't be needed. "Fill 'er up," he ordered.

The worker did as he'd been told. But he ran into a problem. He
couldn't get all the dirt packed back into the hole without leaving a
mound on top. He went to the office and explained his problem.

The boss snorted. "Honestly! The kind of help you get these days! There's obviously only
one thing to do. You'll have to dig that hole deeper!"

Good morning Native.

You have to teach your fellow Texans about asking for the rain and asking for it to stop because you just might get what you asked for.

Honestly I don't think this area could have made it through the summer without significant rains.  We were very close to running out of water so have to take the bad with the good.
