Drought

You may not know it since the mainstream media doesn't report things like this, but for the past year the U.S. has been experiencing its worst drought since the dust bowl and it's likely to continue through next year. There is a nice blog article from Jeff Master documenting the extent of it at http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2297

So if food prices seem a little higher than usual you know why, and I'd encourage you this Thanksgiving to be extra thankful for our farmers who have been having a rough time of it.
