   Our area hasn’t gotten any rain, so we are still in a drought and down 4.5 inches from normal. (Posted from the impending state of North Colorado) The Sidney weather station is the closest to me, which is why I reference it.

     You must be unlucky, because Nebraska has had lots of rain during the past week

   Earlier last year here in N. Fla, we had Exceptional drought (Georgia’s was worse). Then we had Tropical Storm Debby last June, and that started a wet cycle continuing thru this year. It’s normal for climate to ebb and flow all the time, everywhere.

   Indeed. The other day I was driving in a rain storm while a commercial by the Bernalillo county water authority was playing on the radio, with some nice lady exclaiming “it’s not just dry, it’s a drought!” and saying we don’t know how long extreme dry conditions will last, so we need severe water use restrictions. Welcome to Oceana. Some poor fellow in Albuquerque was fined $700 for giving his trees too much water just 3 weeks ago. It’s amazing how bureaucratic hacks have the power to impose such punitive fines on the population. Who gave them that kind of power? We talk a lot about Obama but people need to start fighting socialism at the local level.
