    We had 4" of rain last weekend to go with the 5" we had the weekend before and this weekend we get the remnants of Irene... Yes it seems like august will make up for a dry June/July.

    An hour and a half of vacuuming and the basement is dry. Ish.
    60 Gallons of water, give or take.

    Now for the funny angle:
    My neighbors down the street spent much of the afternoon cleaning their driveways and the gutter and streets in front of their property.
    I didn't get around to that, due to the time needed for emptying my basement. An hour or so, in a rare display of civic duty, the county workers came and thoroughly cleaned the street I sure was glad I hadn't spent the time yet to do so myself.
    Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

    Apparently county "workers" the world over are all alike. LOL

    Having the opposite problem in Texas. It hasn't rained here since May and it's been over 100 degrees every day for over a month. Everything green has turned brown or turned to dust. It's starting to look like a scene out of the Grapes of Wrath. Please send your clouds this way!
