Quote: Yup, recommended him for it the day the announcement was made. I'd say he's definitely one of the more interesting characters on this site.

I should track rain.. I think we had rain twice this month... probably about the same last month. We're in a drought.. again. It took years for the previous one to be resolved, water table was low for several years.

AL stands for Alabama doesn't it? I didn't realise you would get drought conditions there.
I always think it would be sort of sub-tropical. lol

Temps here right now are 92-99F during the day. 80% humidity. Warmest month of the year for us. It's going to start tapering off soon.

We usually have more rain, but there's this polar vortex thing going on and the weather is all sorts of wonky. Parts of the US are flooding right now, tornadoes in places that usually don't have them. We had lots of snow this year for much longer than usual, all over the country. This winter our area was suprised by snow, we had people stranded in their vehicles on the interstate for 24+ hours. Up North they had snow up to May, which is crazy. This fall is going to be a doozy for tornadoes in AL.. glad we installed a storm cellar.
