Hello from hot, dry North Carolina . Actually we had a couple of afternoon thunderstorms the last few days. Made it muggy as well as hot. It's gotten so bad here that Greensboro,NC has instituted water conservation measures. No car washing, no lawn watering, no serving of water to restaurant patrons (unless it is asked for). They even have a "hot-line" to report abusers of the water restriction codes of which many are gleefully making use of. I hope other parts of this fair country of ours is doing better.
