Hotter'n Hell
Hell is seeming a bit chilly now compared to where I am. All you people out in the west complaining about your hot temps should come spend a week where I am. Heck, here it's 99 degrees
and we've got to deal with the humidity on top of all those degrees. Gag.
So now that the temps are skyrocketing, we have this other problem to deal with as well. Apparently this entire area where I live has been having a severe drought for the past 4 years. Now me coming from Oklahoma, where drought is a normal, if not expected thing, I didn't think too much of said drought.
But as of today, my town (and many towns nearby) are now on mandatory water restrictions.
What does that mean?
- Well, that means that we can no longer use a sprinkler on the grass.
Heck, the lawns been brownish-green for the past couple of years. Who cares, right?
- It also means that we can no longer fill our swimming pool.
What swimming pool?
- No more washing the car.
Hmm, never thought I could put something off so long that it wouldn't be allowed by the time I got around to doing it. . . oh well.
- There are various other restrictions, but I don't want to bore you too much. You can check out the article here.
