That&#8217;s a bad thing.  A very bad thing.  The state is severely behind in water.  I heard a stat along the lines of under 5 inches of rain since February.  I can believe it.  Everything smells dry and dead.  The entire landscape is brown.  And the smell of smoke blowing in from central Texas is unnerving.  It&#8217;s so bad that our family evacuation plan involves going <i>to<\/i> New Orleans.  Think about that for a second.  Running to New Orleans to escape a natural disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the destruction and mayhem, a project that is very important to me is moving forward at a pretty good clip.  I don&#8217;t want to say too much about it to the six of you who read this blog with any regularity, but it&#8217;s going to be good.  So good.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing to note right now is that my manifesto has hit a bit of a snag.  One of the major points I&#8217;m trying to make isn&#8217;t resonating like it once did.  That&#8217;s probably a good sign that I&#8217;m finally giving the right amount of attention to my process and The Work.  I wish I&#8217;d done this exercise twenty years ago, but everything is handled in its time.  They&#8217;ll be more thinking out loud around here as that changes.<\/p>\n<p>And while I&#8217;m at it, the weather has cooled off!  It hasn&#8217;t been in the triple digits for almost a week!  That means that I can get that OM guitar finished up and maybe start that solid body electric that I&#8217;ve been itching to build.  I&#8217;m almost ready to order the bits and pieces.  This weekend will involve cleaning up the garage and getting what passes for my shop ready for business!
