Drought issues abound across the nation

As I woke up this morning to a fresh rainfall (apparently Atlanta is getting a more steady dose than Athens as well), we need to recognize that there are people a lot worse off than we are when it comes to drought conditions. Wildfires continue to rage in Southern California, which now seems to be a yearly occurrence.


At this point, it seems like a luxury only to have poor urban planning and simply having to conserve water, as opposed to fighting monstrously destructive fires on an annual basis. Good luck to the folks and firefighters out in So. Cal. Let's hope our issues here in Georgia don't ascend to this level.
