Allan

You're in Virginia and it's that dry? I know the west has been dry for years. The OK/TX/KS region is almost like dustbowl days. We had our worst drought in a long time in northern Illinois last year and we have not recharged the subsoil yet this year. Kind of ominous.

Hey, Dave - How's the rain THIS spring? We are at .3 for this month
and I think 3.5 at this time in March is normal. There was a FOREST
FIRE near us over the weekend. I have to admit: I'm a little worried
about how dry things have become. It's mid-March (sort of) and THE
PIGS WERE MAKING DUST CLOUDS TODAY!! -Allan in Sunny West Virginia
