I believe the drought is coming to end here. The last couple of days have been dry, but, it has rained here in the desert recently. In fact we here in Fresno set a record for rainfall on July 1st of .07 of an inch and followed that up with .04 the next day with trace amounts on the 3rd. Fortunately the 4th was not washed out by a storm of those magnitudes.

Further proof that the drought is coming to an end is the fact that the last time that there was measurable rainfall here on July 1st was in 1916. Things are definitely looking up.

Pretty damn hot and dry up here too. And getting smoky.
From the wildfires ... not the legal weed.

Fire officials are expecting a catastrophic fire anytime now. Millions and millions of dead and dying trees in the Sierra. Ruined camping this year. No fires allowed in lots of campgrounds.

We average twelve 90 degree days a year. We've had 16 and it's only July 10.

Very mild and very wet here in eastern Iowa. We seem to keep getting rain several times a week, and the low point of my yard has been spongy wet all year. My grass has been growing like crazy, and I've already mowed more times this year than the last 2 years combined. 2008 was wetter in June and we had a ton of flooding, but this year may end up wetter overall with the rain more evenly spread out. Forecast is more rain over the next several days too.

We have a lot of mosquitos in my neighborhood which is unusual. Most years my neighborhood doesn't get many, but there's been a lot more standing water for them to breed. We also are having a wasp breakout. The things are everywhere this year, and I've had to take down 13 newly built nests from under my deck already this summer. Each time I take one down, it seems like 2 more get build the next day. The mild wet weather must be very conducive for them. The neighbors are battling the wasps too which are building nests all over the place.

We turned on our air conditioner today for just the second time this summer. And we probably could have waited another day, but since we've run it so little it seemed like the thing to do.

Everything is super green and lush and we haven't had to put our lawn sprinklers out once. We water the crops (some veggies and flowers in pots) periodically. Really one of the most pleasant summers in a long time - at least since last summer when we only turned the A/C four days.

I've been running an air conditioner in my L/R and a sweet ass commercial like one in my bedroom - since May. I might have turned them off twice this whole time.

It has been somewhat milder here. Only a couple of blistering days around 95 degree with intolerable humidty, but I have no tolerance to being warm or dealing with humidity any more.

Air conditioning is the single greatest invention ever.

You can keep the mosquitos and wasps. We already have some, but, if you could send some of that excess water my way that would be much appreciated. In contrast to your lawn, mine is almost dead. We aren't allowed to water enough to keep them alive, so, I'm watching mine die a slow torturous death. Less watering, less mowing. I guess there's that.

What is this green and lush that you speak of? I don't remember anything like that.
Out here we have monstrous A/C units that get angry if they aren't allowed to run all day and at least half the night. My A/C eats A/C's like yours as a snack before breakfast.

How high can you get Art? No, not legal weed high, but, elevation wise and how long does it take to get there? I'm jealous because we can't camp this year and that makes me crazy. I've made a few day trips to see where I can't camp and where there used to be creeks that I can't fish in. Seeing all the dead trees breaks my heart. Hasn't been this bad since the early 90's. Now I know that it's all Todd Mallet's fault. Bastard.

I noticed that you kept yourself off the banner. Was that done in penance since you missed TGS's birthday?

Hope you have a swell day.
