Drought








We've been having a very dry and very hot July.  I haven't had to mow the yard this month, and I'm not complaining.  It was 105 degrees in Des Moines today, which is a record.  It's super dry out there, so the humidity is low, the grass is dry, and there are no mosquitos.  The downside is the damage it's doing to the crops.  They're not doing well from what I hear.  A poor corn harvest will result in higher food prices, higher fuel prices, an on and on.  We need rain.

Lots of Birthday's in July around here:  Happy Birthday to my Mother, my Father, my Father-in-law, my Niece, my Nephew, and three of my fellow Troutslayers.  I probably forgot a few too.

Peace-
Matt
