I hope spiders will excuse our (Oz that is) talk about the weather, but the drought is of constant worry to us here, with many on tight water restrictions and dams at all time lows.
We understand. Oregon has had low rainfall for several years. Everything is very dry. Fire danger is high. Fire fighters are worried because, in the past, we relied on the National Guard to supply labor to fight fires. Many of the Oregon Guard are in Iraq this summer, and not available. If fires start, they may just end up burning until fall rains come. That happened a year or two ago with one fire. If it happens, I just hope no towns are in the way.
Alice in Oregon -- still recovering after 6 days at the fairgrounds and 42 hours of demo. (Though I admit to taking some breaks.)
