The southeast U.S. is in the midst of an historic drought. How dry is
it? Well, we had two weeks of continuous glider flying at Cordele, GA,
including a Regional contest and a Nationals, AND Frank Paynter was
there, and it DID NOT RAIN!


Well I think Frank left all the rain up here in north :-(

Another solid week of rain forecast here in WI.

Oh, well. It's snowing above 8000' here in Colorado. The plains are
verdant green and the mountains are white. The snow pack is 4x normal
for this time of year. Very beautiful - but not too good for OLC
flights. We're celebrating the first day of Summer by turning on the
furnace and breaking out ski jackets. Yesterday it was 87F. All is
normal.
