    Hey, it’s that DRY in most of Texas…and HOT!

    TX (KCBD) - One Lubbock man has found a way to keep his sense of humor in this dreadful heat wave. His creation is called Drought Man. Albert Angel and his neighbor, Sheri Lewis, have a friendly rivalry when it comes to yard decor. It was actually Lewis who tipped off KCBD News Channel 11 with a picture of Drought Man in Angel's yard on the 4900 block of 16th Street . Drought Man is a skeleton clad in dry torn up clothes. Angel moves it each day a little close to a decorative water fountain. Lewis says, "It started out in the middle of the yard and every day he would crawl a little farther. A different arm would be extended. His leg would be father out until he made it to the fountain." "People have stopped and asked me, 'Can we take picture for Facebook ?' As long as I'm not in the picture," Angel says. "That could be me one day. I don't know!" Copyright 2011. KCBD NewsChannel 11.

    Very clever! Along the same lines, last holloween We had a guy make a dummy out of his clothes. He hung the dummy dangling from the dummy hands from his gutter on the second floor. Laid a ladder on the lawn and an empty paint can. Made all the papers. People were slaming on the brakes and running over propping the ladder up under the dummies feet!

    Reminds me of that song - Cool Water:
    All day I face the barren waste with the taste of water . . . cool water . . .
    Old Dan and I with throats burnt dry and souls that cry . . . for water . . .
    Cool . . . clear . . . water . . .
