So, this drought thing is getting pretty serious

As the local weather has improved greatly, it's been difficult to care as much about our lack of rain. This summer, as temperatures remained above 100 for more than three consecutive weeks, the lack of precipitation was much more noticeable.

However, as we are all aware, and as the AJC reported yesterday, Atlanta and the surrounding areas (I'm pretty sure Athens is in worse shape, actually) will have to take drastic measures — and possibly SERIOUSLY drastic measures — if we don't get some real rainfall soon.

It's very difficult to curb our consumption of anything, especially water, and I know I have done very little to conserve despite the fact that it's on my mind every time I turn on a faucet. Sometime soon, we might not have much of a choice.
