We are not being clobbered by that cold blast of late; not penetrating so far south, but the drought goes on. So far in 2014 no rainfall at all, and no prospects. Last year, we were way below the 18" average for this area. Even in a normal year it does not rain much here. The drought extends now through a wide swath of the Texas Panhandle.
My wife read yesterday that the average amount spent on a wedding today runs to about $26,000. Is that stupid or what? What does money have to do with it? What is the point of such ostentation? In what way does flushing money down a toilet ensure the sanctity or longevity of a marriage? Is the spending done to impress friends, family, the general public? It impresses me. It gives me the impression that the people doing it are stupid. And they almost certainly are. Worse luck to them.
