Summer's only halfway over, but it's been a TERRIBLE summer thusfar.
According to the news yesterday, we broke all kinds of records...
1. We broke the record for the hottest June in two decades.
2. We broke our average for number of days with 90 or + degree weather (so far 34, the average is 31... last year we only had 11). Really, that's not even the worst part, as we've had days where the heat index had gotten up to 110.
3. Okay, we haven't broken this record, but remember back in 2007 when we had that severe drought that the entire state was declared a disaster? Well, we're having another pretty bad drought this summer... I swear, you watch the doplar radar on the weather, and you can see these lines of thunderstorms head our way, split around around us, then cluster up again afterwards... like whenever Bugs Bunny burrows with his ears through the surface, and you can see his ears split around obstacles like rocks and trees. And one of our rivers STILL hasn't recovered from the drought of 2007... it's gotten so shallow, people are standing right in the middle of it, and the water's only waist high.
I CANNOT wait for October!
