Weird and Wacky Summer Weather

Tis been a "Weird and Wacky Summer" me thinks... Up is down and down is up. Casey Anthony was found not guilty, Tiger Woods isn't playing golf, and Charlie Sheen is probably still "winning" somewhere, but at least his has gone underground for a while...thanks Chuck. We have seen the end of some very distinct eras, with the last space shuttle mission and the last installment of Harry Potter. But even with all the change, at least the Summer weather is predictable, right? Mmmm...perhaps not. There have been parts of the Western US that has thus been colder and rainier than usual, and parts of the Mid-West and South that have been so hot, people have been seeing chickens lay fried eggs! Here on the farm where we grow our oranges, the weather has been so odd, it has left us with a smaller than normal crop for the upcoming fall and winter. I still remember reading the headline on The Fourth of July, that people were still skiing in Utah and at Tahoe! The cotton crops in the South are failing due to drought, Oklahoma City was 100.f for more than 30 days in a row, and parts of the Southwest are still smoldering from fire. All of this on top of the Tsunami and tornadoes from the Spring! Now I am not saying that the Mayan calendar is right, but maybe, just maybe, we should add to our "Summer To-Do List", somewhere between; clean out garage and paint fence...build ark (just in case).

Cheers!
