No significant changes in this week's drought conditions, though recent rains should bring more improvement to next week's map. The latest drought map is available at https://t.co/wUU7dlnCiM #TXWater #TXDrought https://t.co/OtNd7CHZG7

I grew up with Mac and Borg, who never hit double digits for slams. Then came Pistol Pete, then Fed (who remains my fave). But this type of consistency for championships is amazing. I read his book and admire the guy. Congrats, Djoker. Amazing!
