It has rained so much these past weeks in Texas that many counties including Val Verde have almost erased their severe drought status. These have brought other related problems including HUGE mosquitos, fire ants, and high levels of humidity.
I do not know if you recall that I bought several heavy-duty containers last year when Home Depot had a sale. I started using a couple of them to capture rainwater as my 32-gallon trash cans tops took a beating when we had that severe hail storm that damaged dad's old car. I decided to use most of them as they have heavy-duty tops to seal off and protect my liquid gold from mosquitos trying to lay their eggs and also serve as a place for the cats to take naps.
It has been incredibly hot lately and the high humidity levels make it being outside almost unbearable. Notwithstanding I had errands to run yesterday and had to bite the bullet. Last week I went to mail some payments at the post office where we have our P.O. Box. It was around 1:30 p.m. and when I pulled the handle to drop my mail it was so packed another envelope would not have been able to fit. Had no choice but to drive to the north part of town to the other post office where at least my mail has not been lost "yet".
I swear that Louis DeJoy thanks to the disgraced, twice impeached, one-term former liar-in-chief that appointed him last year as Post Master General with the finality of delaying and sabotaging the mail-in ballots for the 2020 election has caused severe damage to our mail service that will not be easy to reverse. I am still waiting on a credit card that was supposed to have arrived last week. Most people unless they are daily watchers of The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC would probably not be aware of this as she is the only one that has covered this topic extensively.

A gallon of regular gasoline is going for $2.629
