I LOVE a big hard rain during monsoons! I am missing the monsoon, wish some of it could come up here and help out the Montanans with these crazy fires. I found the chocolate, and packed it in various boxes we had sent to us on the route. So, we enjoyed one already, and more will come! That's so great that you could remember the exact source of that ribbon! --Michelle Marcelle,

I just realized why you lost your chocolate! I wrapped it in red tape--literally. That red cotton ribbon was something I got from Tina Ayers at the herbarium--she uses it all the time--and it's the original red tape that they used to tie up bundles of documents with. I should have known better! We had a big hard rain here at Bilby Monday--maybe unique? We were in the conference room with our new (interim) boss, Lee Drickamer, having a staff meeting. We could hear the rain roaring on the roof, but it reached a threshold of sound and we had to go look. It was raining HARD almost horizontally, and hailing A LOT. Pretty soon there was a river of rain/hail in front of the building, and hail had built up to about 8 inches off the eaves. Then it started coming in under the front door! It was cool! Happy Trails!
