This Heat has got right out of hand

[cyrano]

I'm in Idaho. The flat dusty potatoey part where people live who can't afford the foresty mountainy part. Temperatures are in the nineties, there's no rain, and everybody's lawn is a lush and rolling verdant carpet. The water situation isn't as dire here as, say, Phoenix, but everybody's complaining about all the downstream states 'stealing their water' and this entire town runs on private wells that are not refreshing as quickly as people are pulling it out. And it makes me crazy and I just needed to vent.

Ugh. Sympathies.

After four years of living in southern Arizona, there was more than a little culture shock when we moved here and saw all the green lawns and parks, and had to remind ourselves that we're literally right next to a multi-quadrillion-gallon freshwater reservoir.
