Yeah.  My new boss is in Denver, but went to school here in Seattle - and 
said that this spring/summer has felt like she was back here.

It's almost like we've become an extension of California from a water 
level standpoint, and people here aren't really aware of water usage 
(because, well, 135 days of rain per year on average).

My wife and I, having lived in Utah for 20/30 years (the former for me, 
the latter for her) are well-versed in water restrictions.  The locals 
here - not so much.
