Catch Up Time!

Been a busy summer so have not spent lots of time staying current here.

Few catchup issues....first is RAIN (or lack of it.) We are located just a few miles west of the North entrance to the Mariposa Ranch and I stay up with rainfall amounts on their wonderful website. It's a large ranch and they show total rainfall in a number of areas, but it is a grim average for 2009. We are, as of the end of July,16 inches below the annual average by this time, 29.20 inch.

Question from a reader about how to contact John Dearman. He was, and I assume still is, represented by Collectors Covey. His consignment work is available through Luis Briones -- luis@friendswood.com or 281 482-2202. Hope that helps.
