The Wet and the Dry

The midsection of the country is suffering with flooding, relentless rain and no relief in sight.  Crops are not being planted and those that were before the deluge are probably suffocating in the ground.   Meanwhile, both coasts are dry.  Much of New York and New England are classed as in a moderate drought situation.  California is suffering the 4th year of extreme drought.  Of course, to climate change deniers this is just business as usual.  I have a feeling the price of most foodstuffs will be going up as a result of the latest weather gyrations.  Let's see what the common wisdom says when that happens.  Surely at some point, the deviations from normal will even wake up the crew at Faux News to the dangers of ignoring the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.  I would laugh out loud, but at this point it would be more appropriate to CQ (cry quietly).
