Hi all
I imagine you all saw the rescue of the woman whose car went into a 
raging river in San Luis Obispo? Well that raging river used to be our 
pasture until we moved from that ranch almost two years ago. We moved 
our horses from the pasture at midnight 4 or 5 years ago there as the 
rain just kept coming --- and the next morning when we went down to 
feed, we saw the white water river flowing where our pasture had been. I 
was sooo blessed to have a husband who went down in the middle of the 
night in the pouring rain because of a foreboding feeling. We had NO 
idea our pasture was in the 50 year flood zone and this was our year! 
That was enough close call for me and I am sooo thankful that we moved 
to higher ground or that would have been me trying to get to the other 
pasture.
Hope we continue to get a little more rain and that it is spread out a 
little -- we still need to catch up from our four year drought. Perhaps 
hay can drop then from the $10+/bale price it is now-- and that is for 
alfalfa-- forage and grass is far more expensive. Fortunately I'm 
getting a tittle grass now to supplement as I hate feeding straight 
alfalfa but who can afford more?

PS The doctor on TV who was "Pantsed" during his rescue is also a local 
and my friend's eye doctor-- needless to say, business has picked up :-)
