How come no one wants to use this term? The Romeo area has to be more than 6 inches behind on rain. People who haven’t watered their lawn are now experiencing dormancy and people who do water are having to do so nearly daily.
How come no one wants to use the word drought? I’ve not heard it on the news or anywhere. How come Al Gore isn’t marching around telling everyone it’s the result of global warming? How come some idiot isn’t on the God channel telling everyone it’s the result of too many gays in Michigan?
Obviously, this isn’t NorCal and we’re used to getting regular rain showers in the summertime.
Growing up in Indiana I remember the farmers and all locals talking every year about too much rain or too little rain. They were quick to use terms to label the season. But around here, I talked to one farmer who is excited there isn’t much rain. "Less grass to cut" he told me.
Huh.
