It's Hot!!! And Dry!!

We have been going a long time with out rain. I was told today that our rain quota is the same as it was a few years ago when everything caught on fire. We are all hopping that we can get some significant rain before the forth so we don't end up with fire work restrictions. Some counties have already banned them and I heard one county even banned sparklers. What's the Forth of July with out fireworks? Oh sure you can go to those city displays but it's just not the same thrill as potentially setting your self, your house or your children on fire. We all want those home fire works. We need to blow stuff up. Even if it's our hands. So please let it rain, rain, rain.
Plus this year we are going to have out of state visitors who've never experienced a Florida Forth of July. The way the rockets red glare lights up the lakes as they fly at you from a barge parked in the center of the lake. You just don't get that in other states. The way that bottle rocket possibly sets the spanish moss hanging in the old oak to sparkling. Yes... We need rain!
It's been so dry the cat tails all popped and are sending fuzzy seeds everywhere.
