OK. Enough is enough. The weather forecast is hot, humid, and no rain. This has gone on for months. Yesterday 101. Today 102. Nothing below the high nineties for the last 4 or 5 weeks. All the grass is brown. Towns around here have put in mandatory water restrictions, and the crops are failing. Got some sweet corn the other day and it was $.40 an ear and the kernels were not filled in and very shallow. Tasted like cardboard. Oh well butter and salt helped.
The lake is dropping like a stone. They are even talking about lake II again. That has only been on the drawing board since the 50's. I remember the drought of the 50's when the lake dropped so low that there was one spot where you could walk from one side to the other. The lake had divided into two ponds. There were lots of dead trees on the bottom that had not rotted from when the blasted them to build the lake in the '30s.
Oh well all things pass. Climate is what you expect and weather is what you get.
We have been staying in and moving from one A/C to another. Can't wait for the power bill.
