Do you like wet or dry? In general, the east is wet. Then you go over the hump to western slope of the Rockies and it's dry. The last few years it's been REALLY dry. We haven't had more than an inch of rain at the same time for a couple years. The dry lasts until you cross the Cascades where you get rain and liberals - think Seattle and Portland.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
