Last year was sort of wet in the spring, and this year may end up being one of the driest Marches in history.

Usually in October, you have more sunshine and it's one of the driest months of the year in the eastern U.S.. So all of this is unusual for this time of year.

The total last year was about 15 inches, and that puts it down as the 15th driest year on record. So with that dry last year combined with what we were experiencing so far this year, it really does not portend very well for the future.

Now spring returns; but not to me returns The vernal joy my better years have known; Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns, And all the joys of life with health have flown.

I think the navy was trying to get one up on us and trying to get us as wet as possible; we were going straight into the waves. But it's a nice enough day that it's going to dry out.

I'm dying to be a great dad one day, whenever that day comes.
