OT-CHAT: weather

It's hard to stay enthusiastic about our favorite flower this year...some of us are all sitting around having heat stroke and dehydrating, & others are nearly drowning...
it finally rained about 2 tenths of an inch Friday evening here, dropping the temperature from ~100oF to 85! I think that's the first rain here since.... can't even remember. The heatwave is supposed to finally ease up by the end of the week. Hottest August on record, driest year on record (records go back to late 1800s).
Shift in this stubborn high pressure system should help out those of you who've been getting washed away too.
