Cliff Mass says no rain was detected at SeaTac (despite a few drops in Seattle yesterday), and so we've moved into contention for the "longest dry run in May-June" in recorded history. Truly these are days of miracle and wonder. On the downside, transplanted Californians will be feeling edgy and anxious, as their instinctual "fire-danger" response is tingling after so many dry spring days. And in fact, Mass has a fuel moisture map that indicates this summer could be a smoky one.

It feels good to know we listen to NPR at the same time. It's like looking up at the moon and wondering if my real parents are looking at the same moon.
