My abode in the clear for now. And, the city is providing sandbags! But, we're expecting another six inches (15 cm) of rain within the next week.

Here's an example of my very sane programming. It's the sequence used in this track. (Which I'm still working on.)

Thanks! Yeah, we had a "recommendation to evacuate" yesterday. Even every major news network was in town. The bastards didn't even help fill sandbags. But, the expected rainfall dissipated. Making this track helped calm me down. We'll be fine, thank you.

Just figured this would be interesting.

I used to work in a factory behind the water park, know people that work at the car wash, and have family that live at that lake. The drought was so bad that, at the beginning of May, we were down to 21% water levels. Now, at the end or May, we are at 99%. It's not been that high since 1993. Without the drought, and without a doubt, my house would be underwater. Everything cycles.

I found a 25 x 15 cm chocolate brown puffball mushroom. The bottom 2/3 had the consistency of chocolate cake. The top part puffed green when, even slightly, touched and was darker brown with big white spots. I can't find that one either. My Facebook page, now, has a photo folder devoted to the badass pictures I've been taking.

There's some freaky shit growing around here right now!

I'd no clue boletus rubellus grew here. But, I found eight monster ones under one oak tree. Panaleous cintculus abound. But, I'm resisting.

Finally, two weeks after finding them, figured out what the big self-peeling mushroom is! Agaricus deserticola is native to primarily west Texas and is adapted to dry weather. I've been infatuated by mushrooms since I was a small child. So, to me, they're all fun. It just hadn't rained this much in so damn long. Our lakes are now at 100% capacity and have not been so since 1993. This is cattle country. So, there's lots of psychedelic ones. Both psylocybe and panaleous abound. I'm not into those, anymore. If you can't tell by my music; I really don't need any help.

Water is definitely a necessity & comodity. All in this town know. But, I literally freak out when thirsty. After having c. diff. for thirty days; it went septic. I woke up with an incomprehensible thirst, was too weak to move, and hurting as though every joint in my body had the flu. I had seven litres of saline & one of adrenaline, all hand squeezed into my arms, before being taken to icu. That's how my immune system got messed up. The current water treatment leaves too many residual antibiotics for me to consume. California has been using the same process for a while. But, only 20-25% of waste water to fresh. We've gone from 50 to almost 80%. All of our grocery stores, and wholesalers, carry more water than sodas. The past year has been so exhausting for me. It's probably why most of my songs have an underlying darkness. We were in a stage 5 drought catastrophe for about a year. The city never planned for ANYTHING past stage 3. So, restrictions were severe and punishments harsh. $200 fine for any outdoor watering other than hand watering container plants. Second offense is $500. Third offense...the city turns your water off. Most well water is twice the salinity of the red sea. Today, however, the government completely removed us from being in a drought. Our lakes are at 100% capacity...and, dammit! It's about to rain again. It's gonna be a turd floater. Gotta move my car.

At least another inch of rain in the past hour. My Fiat would've been flooded and moved. Five houses down is, not only downhill, a drainage ditch. Roads are rivers...for the next five minutes. Then, the next wave of rain. Everything spoken about Texas weather us true. It was over eighty degrees at noon and, within the past hour, it's dropped twenty. Thirty-five years here and still not used to it. *shrugs*

Back to re-editing Cruise Control.

Thanks. I'm trying to stay safe. This shit is exhaustive. Flood watch, flood warning, flash flood watch, flash flood warning, severe thunderstorm watch, severe thunderstorm warning, tornado watch, and/or tornado warning every day for a month. The sirens have gone off twice. Never, in thirty-five years, have I heard them used other than monthly testing. The last tornado we had was 1.5 mile wide F5. (April 10, 1979) Notice the difference between the ogg version & final version of this track. Well, it's time to drive to Dallas. I just hope the roads are open. They had five inches of rain, and us almost three, last night. Having the security of water is quickly being washed asunder.

Stay high & dry, people!

Dallas is 240 km away and almost saturated as Wichita Falls. Houston is 560 km away from WF. Even our tow trucks are going down there, to fish out vehicles, for free. A dam broke, in Bastrop, and washed away 400 homes. They're still searching for families.

Thanks, Jason. The final version is/uses Out There. :)
