Since the last report two weeks ago, there has been only one day with any measurable rainfall, and that was a scant quarter of an inch. The result is that conditions are now severely dry, with high fire danger, lawns once again yellowing and many vegetables and ornamentals needing regular watering to avoid burn out. Animal activity remains high, and water in the local reservoir continues to be ample. Business at local shops continues to be brisk. There have been no reports of widespread illness.
