My apologies for posting on an irregular basis.
     Today marks 7 weeks without significant precipitation.  The outlook, from the Division of Water Resources, is for the driest year in recorded history.  The previous driest year was only 24 years ago in 2002.  This century has been constant drought!
     The daily recordings lend credence to that forecast.  Ranchers are selling at least portions of their herds because there will not be enough to graze this summer.  Farmers are planning to dry up land that would normally be irrigated.
     The agricultural economy of 10% of Colorado's counties is n the brink of collapse!  If it does, There will be difficult to maintain any other individual economy.
     I could go on with the description of this drought but it is pointless and very depressing.
