We've had drought and near-draught all summer, combined with hot-hot days in the high 80s and some in the low 90s. Needless to say, our rivers have been lower than normal too.

I know it sounds like kid stuff to the Californians, but we're not used to this kind of heat and drought in Pittsburgh, where we normally have more cloudy days than Spokane. For the majority of our summers we've been dealing with too much rain, not too little.

If this is a sign of how things are going to be from now on, it's a very scary thought. I hope it's just a seasonal blip.
