Phenology: Some People Have Had a Dry Summer

While we've had yet another super-soaked summer, some people have had a drought. This blogger is complaining...

and I'm sooo envious. I'm watching mold form week by week on the cement benches outside the computer center, adjusting to life in a world where you not only can't hang wet laundry outside and expect it to dry but can't leave clean dry things outside and not expect them to be damp and musty by sundown, noting days when I can breathe while walking outdoors as distinct from days when I feel that breathing outdoors requires gills...does anybody remember the concept of clean, clear, dry mountain air? And somewhere in this favored land, people are actually worried about not getting enough rain. Somewhere, that still seems to be possible.

How I wish we, the waterlogged people of Virginia, could pack up all this moisture in our atmosphere and ship it to the people who worry about droughts. We have so much water vapor to share, if only we could.
