@Spurt    Albuquerque has had .8" of rain this whole yrar; nothing for 65 days.  I've had less at my house since I'm further from the mountains.  I don't hold much hope for monsoon season.

@Kachina624  I was just saying the same thing to DH about the monsoons. We haven't had a decent season for a few years now...DW

I wish I could send you some of ours.  

We had that much last week.

@Kachina624 I couldn't remember the original post where we discussed the missing wild horses, so I tagged you here. We saw some of them today. They were in a smaller group than normal. A local friend told me they had scattered because of the drought and were all over the place looking for something to eat and for water. That is a relief! I just hope they find the nourishment they need. The ones we saw today looked healthy.

@On It    Do you suppose it's possible people are feeding the horses?  There are wild horses here in the community of Placitas near the Sandia Pueblo.  The Placitas residents sort of "take care" of them when times get rough.  Not much to eat where they're !ocated.

@Kachina624 It is a possibility. I am just not in the "know" whether the village is making exceptions to the ordinance prohibiting feeding wildlife. They strictly enforce it under normal circumstances. I did feel good about the horses we saw today. Their coats were shiny, and they looked well-nourished.

We had a chemical plant fire here Monday, close to our downtown area. Fortunately I didn't hear about any workers there on the holiday. They evacuated a few square miles of homes in that area.

We live about 20 miles north of that area so we didn't see anything like your picture here. From roof TV Cameras, it too was a big ball of flames. Glad it happened on a holiday when no workers were in the building. Haven't seen any news updates, so I am thinking nobody was injured.
