Ryder News for Sept. 12, 2019 


I hope everyone is all safely aboard their arks when you read this on Thursday. We’ve been having quite a bit of rain this past week. My rain gauge showed .90 for the all-day rain on Saturday. So far today, Monday, my rain gauge is showing .60 and this is supposed to be an all-day rain too. Yikes! I’m getting sick of rain but then, I am so glad that it isn't a week’s worth of snow!!
