"Heat streak in jeopardy"

Yes, that is actually a headline on the Charlotte Observer website today. It seems that at 27 days, it's the third longest streak ever of temperatures above 90. And it sounds like they're worried we might not hit 90 today. Worried. Hello?!?! I would love for it to not hit 90 today! I would also love for it to rain after two days of clouds to taunt us. You see, there seems to be only so much rain to go around and while Texas and the mid-west are floating away, we are *parched*. Everything looks so sad and brown, they're closing lakes and handing down water restrictions, and who knows how this'll affect our fall leaves.

On the plus side, we haven't had to worry about events getting rained out this summer and my umbrella doesn't smell musty. That's something to be thankful for :-)
