But now we're back around 100.<br /><br />So Ritergal, what is this "SHIFT" you are referring to?<br /><br />By the way, I have tossed all of your names into the hat for Monday's drawing!Hill Country Hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723660054417859671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736158478689457949.post-17913742935188934222009-07-31T04:46:17.674-07:002009-07-31T04:46:17.674-07:00I'll send you some of our rain from Pittsburgh...I'll send you some of our rain from Pittsburgh. I can't remember a wetter summer, or a cooler one. We have not had the AC on since May, and only twice then. The good news is that we are saving $$$ on power bills. <br /><br />My theory is that weather zones are being stabilized. Some Force built invisible fences and walls in the stratosphere that prevents weather from circulating widely as it used to. Maybe they follow state boundaries, but it seems more regional. <br /><br />It's part of SHIFT.

But, in reality, it's just a small piece of time and one year of weird weather doesn't amount to much in the grand scheme of things. But yes, it's been very weird -- we've been running on the low side of temps now since before July 4. Nice, but strange nonetheless.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116903234641971344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736158478689457949.post-40744598580017402662009-07-30T10:54:06.829-07:002009-07-30T10:54:06.829-07:00And look what's happening in Washington and Or...And look what's happening in Washington and Oregon---Whole Foods in Portland is giving out free water!<br /><br />http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/weather/07/29/washington.oregon.heat/<br /><br />P.S. Your tank is **huge**, but the water price was surprisingly lower than I'd have expected. Hopefully all the rain dances going on in our region will mitigate the need for a fillup.<br /><br />Just google "rain dances in central Texas"---it's a whoop!musingegrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000667855500413032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736158478689457949.post-37615246709360982602009-07-30T07:23:17.697-07:002009-07-30T07:23:17.697-07:00Any more jokes like that and I get to start callin...Any more jokes like that and I get to start calling you Tom Junior!Hill Country Hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723660054417859671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736158478689457949.post-47748734560150230972009-07-30T07:01:44.707-07:002009-07-30T07:01:44.707-07:00South Carolina has been going through much the sam...South Carolina has been going through much the same thing. I tend to go batty if we don't get rain for long stretches of time -- thank Indonesia for that. Pretty much from the time we moved here in 2007 until March of this year, we got next to nothing in the way of rainfall. I'd look at the weather map and see upstate NY having the wettest, coolest summers in centuries and wish I was there. It's hard to look at the map and not think "why me?"<br /><br />As for your question, the climate is not so predictable, so cut and dry (har har, weather pun!) as we've been led to believe.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975944325795562366noreply@blogger.com
