Charlie,

I'm only 36 but the older I get the worse I hate the heat and humidity.  By the time I'm 50 I may have to move to the north pole. In fact, between the smoke, heat, humidity, watching crops burn up, etc.  I am just about ready to move now.  This makes 4 years in a row it has flat refused to rain during the growing season. If you remember the bad tornadoes that came thru in April and affected Jacksonville:  It rained so little here then you could play connect the dots with the drops on the ground. But I bet statistically we will not have had a drought by the end of the year because we'll get 15-20 inches of rain in a 7 day period in September or October.  Hope I'm wrong but that's how it's shaping up.  Double crop beans behind the wheat are impossible right now. Ground is so dry they will just cook if we plant them.

 Based on the forecast Saturday the only reason I am going is to meet a friend from TN to swap some parts.  I don't go every year but I have been one time when it was cloudy and overcast, with temps maybe in the low 80's. That was NICE.

We have had smoke intermittently, the worst was last Thursday for a few hours late in the evening.  It started clouding up like it was going to rain (it didn't--storm bypassed us like every other one this spring) and the smoke drifted in. It hung low to the ground and made you think you were in a dense fog.
