   Went out to run errands yesterday, shirtsleeve weather, but   
   waht we've sure had is the gusty winds, no moisture   
   traveling with them though it seems, and that's going to   
   hurt all the agriculture around here.  I haven't walked up   
   to the local hospital to check out their ham radio comms   
   setup lately, but usually when I do my gauge of how we're   
   doing for moisture is a small stream I cross on a bridge.   
   I'll bet you that stream's pretty low.   
   I've sort of studied that stream there near the highway   
   rather carefully anyway, because one of our exercises for   
   those of us who are volunteer hospital communicators was   
   surveying our routes to/from our assignments with an eye   
   toward not going over, or under a bridge.  Natch, becauseof   
   New Madrid our main concern there is quakes.   
      
   I figured that unless that stream is rather swollen I could   
   probably ford it on foot.   
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
