What I think will be the worst is rising prices on everything at the store. Grocery shopping will be more and more difficult.

As I mentioned, when I moved to Austin from Nashville, Nashville was in the 2nd year of the some of the worst flooding recorded, so much so to say that it was in a 2 year run of 100 year flooding. Then to Austin, which was in the worst drought since the dust bowl days, much less setting summer heat records 2 years in a row. Even in Wichita this past summer, many heat records were broken and the past to winters, so far, have been a shadow of winters past. It makes you wonder if this pattern will continue to grow and expand.

The last few years have been bad, this year the worse and i think it has rained almost every single day (wettest summer in 100 years this year). It may sound good in your situation but all crops ect.. here were flooded , lack of sunshine meant stuff could not grow and caused a lot of issues . Going out was hard as every where was muddy and awful...<br /><br />In an ideal world we could just swap you know?Laura McIntyrehttp://synchronizationofus.com/noreply@blogger.com
