Hotter than a witch’s . . .

We here in Southern California are embroiled (pun intended) in not only a record setting drought but a heat wave that is nearly indescribable. Yesterday was most likely the hottest day ever recorded for the day/date/area.
I have captured a picture of the thermostat from my car. The day before my thermometer read 118 degrees.

Our water district has restricted the days and times that we are allowed to have our irrigation systems on. We are limited to three days a week, never on a Sunday as well as the specific times that the systems can be used.

My landscaping is fairly drought tolerant but under these constraints it is languishing and looking pretty unsightly.

I also have a pool and the heat is creating such evaporation that it has to be filled frequently.
The following lyrics are from a Bruno Mars song, “It Will Rain.” I am asking for the good of the order and for the well being of our planet, would someone jettison their relationship so that we can have rain? I’d offer to take one for the team but alas, I don’t have a significant other!

So I’m asking for those of you who do, would you please dump them for the rest of us and our climate challenged communities? You can always get another one but we cannot heal our world as quickly if what Bruno Mars has sung about would come to pass!

“‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain!“

And if someone has a better idea, please share. Whatever it takes. We have to get rid of this heat and get lots and lots of precipitation.
Again, I’d fall on the sword but I am not in a relationship.
