Spray & Tides

Mixed up a batch of volck horticultural oil spray and sprayed the 
medjool date palms. They have scale. As soon as I finished spraying, 
however, it started to rain again. Oh well... spray them again if the 
rain ever stops. In the last 5 days we have had more rain than we 
normally get during the whole month of June. And it's still coming. 
It's kind of scary [not to mention tedious] to look at the Gulf of 
Mexico satellite--big storms streaming out of the western Caribbean, 
across the Caymans and Cuba, and aiming right at us.

Also thinking about going to the beach in the morning, weather 
permitting. We wanted to be sure we went as at close to low tide as we 
could, so I had to find a site that posted tide time tables. Google 
found this University of South Carolina site that is really 
cool--http://tinyurl.com/asodd
