Friday Kerfuffle?

Always ready to go

99 days without rain.  Things are extremely dry.  We're nine parched days away from tying the all-time record for rainless days.  Parts of southeastern New Mexico and West Texas are in even more dire straits.

The last photo here (hard to make out) is of an off-road vehicle's tire tracks.  Some brainless toad (disservice to toads) decided to drive his SUV along a single-track hiking trail.  There are no words to describe this type of stupidity.
