@SpinnaOregon isn't super warm, but we're getting a lot less rain than a few years back. We're starting fall soon, so at least we'll have our precious rain back.
Also, another perk of living in Oregon (Or, well, Portland, because the portland metro area is more than half of the state's population, even if we don't include the few towns north of the river in Washington) is that we have fantastic tap water. Comes straight from a protected watershed. Apparently most other places aren't so lucky. Especially since California is in a bit of a sticky, or, well, dry situation. How is that going, by the way? Haven't been to Cali in almost a year.
