    South Jersey is having it's worst drought in 120 years.  It hasn't rained here since August.  Consequently there are brush fires everywhere.  This morning at 5:30 when I got up the smoke was thick.  It was worse than the smoke from the Canadian wildfires.  Fortunately it has lifted some, at least for now.  I'm tempted to do a Rain Dance.  Those of you  who remember my story of the last time I did one know why I'm reluctant to do so.  Anyway, we desperately need some significant rain.

I missed that or don't remember it.  Do you have a link to the post, or a quick recap?

And yeah, it's really bad in some places.  I know there's all kinds of camp fire bans going on now.  I was just on a short camping trip with some friends, and we weren't sure if we were going to be able to have a fire or not.  We were able to as it turned out (thankfully).  I believe because we were on private land and not state owned.

Climates are so interesting. It hasn't rained since April here, and that is quite normal and isn't at all considered a drought.

And yes, please share the rain dance link.
