the shitty part is because we're the only area left with 4 seasons of non-severe weather, water, plants, etc. is that everyone and their momma is moving here (which is why rents have gone up here faster than anywhere else in the USA in the last year).

but fear not, we'll be fucked in 5 years. this summer hasn't been hot (in fact i'd say we had more "hot" days in May/June and have had none since) but it's been way more humid than normal. humidity is my personal hell, so....fuck this summer.
