I'd kill for rain.
(I'm in California, where it doesn't rain in the summer... or in a drought 
)
But green year 'round, right?
I've heard stories about NY in the summer-- my parents lived in Ithaca and said it was unbelievably uncomfortable.
No offense!! It's dry as a bone out west, particularly in summer. Fire danger is always lurking.
Some wacko started a fire near where I live-- it did a lot of damage, though no homes were destroyed. Such a strange fixation. 
Except, perhaps, the repukes, who have always sought the opposite of what normal, sane people want.
By the way, what does the humidity in NY run? It was 70% indoors the last few days and it was so heavy... I mean the air, literally. I know it's good for plants, good for the skin, lungs, and all that, but terribly hard to bear.
My mom said she could take a shower and be dripping wet with perspiration half an hour later. Yikes!!
Right now it's 57 degrees and very nice.
we're still utterly helpless as to something as basic as rain. And the weather in general.
Scary
