It's downright hot around here.  It hit 100 several days running; but
only got in the low nineties today, because a *cold* spell moved through
here.   The True South Jersey, where I live, is also now in drought
conditions.  We had *no* snow this winter (although we did have snow in
April); and we've had very little rain.  Agricultural reports are
advising farmers to irrigate.  We are also being advised to limit our
*unnecessary* water useage, but no water quotas have yet been
instituted.  North Jersey (and Central Jersey) are also dry, but not as
dry as South Jersey.  It's beginning to resemble two years ago, when we
had the worst drought ever recorded in this area.

Do take care of yourself.
We don't have air conditioning in our house, so we're just sort of
adapting, and sweating a lot.
