Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, we feel for you. At least we get some rain here and there. Try to stay cool.:)
Thanks for the sympathy! Yes, we are sweltering in this heat. Our humidity starts out "high" in the morning, but drops off to single digits by 3:00 pm. High for us is 40% - 70%. There has been a bit or rain in the area, but none at our place.
In 15 days, we will be celebrating the 1st anniversary of our last day with rain!!!!! Yup, August 4, 2010 was the last time it rained here. Drove by a golf course that looked more like an abandoned field than a golf course. Totally brown & dusty. Our main water source is the Ogalalla Aquifer & it is being used up. Don't know how many years/decades are left in it.
