It wasn't until people started saying "Because you've neglected it for so long, if you don't work to solve this now, you are fucked."

Trouble coming even if it rained here for two months straight through, but yes!
I am hoping El Nino helps soon. I have been through some droughts,but nothing like you are experiencing out there now.
Was listening to the radio this morning and heard some expert say that El Nino isn't really going to help that much, but at least its something.
