Water woes
An update from the local government on our water status ...
Bear Creek Reservoir is currently 13.1 ft below full pool. The precipitation deficit for Athens this year (through September 26, 2007) is approximately 15.2 inches. Unfortunately, there is no anticipated precipitation for at least the next 5 days.
As an aside, it's going to consistently be in the low 80s for the next 10 days. Remember how it used to be, you know, cool during fall? And the leaves would actually change color rather than dry up and fall off?

I remember 1925, when the September high for Athens was recorded at 108. And October '54, when we hit 98.
If you remember 1925, then you must have been born no later than 1920, which makes you at least 87. It's possible... but I suspect you're good at surfing the web for climate data.
For the record, Georgia had it's hottest August on record (113 years of data). The data for September isn't final, but it appears that it will be the third hottest on record, after '54 and '25.
