No need to water my lawn today.

As much as I like a nice spring day, I find myself liking rainy days more. The lack of rain this year has had me dragging my sprinkler around my yard every other day or so. I'm not doing to water the lawn so much as I am trying to stop the dirt from drying out and blowing around like an Oklahoma dust storm.

Based on what we got today and what is predicted for the rest of the week, I probably won't have to worry about dampening my dirt until next week or so.

The Red Sox are now ten games behind .500. This means that if they happen to win the next 10 games, they will be tied for last place with the Baltimore Orioles.

So hey, at least they got that going for them....
