RAIN AND A BEAR


Based on the weather forecast, I knew we were going to be driving into a lot of rain. Around Panama City, it started, and it kept raining most of the day. Coincidentally, it was just past Panama City, that a black bear came across the road in front of us. This type of animal sighting was almost a daily thing in Alaska, but Florida? I tried to get a picture, but didn't have quite enough time. We drove west to Pensacola on Hwy 98, then west on I10 to Pascagula, MS, where we stopped for the night at a Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, all of this moisture in the air, has once again raised the humidity to very uncomfortable levels. We tried to leave a window open last night, but at times, the rain was coming down so hard, I had to get up and close it. It's about 6:30 am, and the rain continues to fall. The latest forecast is for lots more, all the way west across most of Texas. Our latest plan is to check out an area along the Texas gulf coast, near Corpus Christi. We probably won't make it there today, but should be there sometime tomorrow.
