    not denying that, upper Midwest might be in a drought but lower Midwest is certainly not.

    Yeah I was wondering that myself .Where I live in Iowa I tell anybody that asks about the weather ...
    We are 2 days away from a drought and 2 hrs away from a flood ..every single day of the year..I've seen it rain 6" and 5 days later we have cracks in the ground big enough to loose a log chain in point being it takes alot of water to sustain this area .. and my neighbors west of me in Nebraska need even more water .
    Nobody in the midwest has any water to spare for the desert rats on the other side of the Rockies

    All these years, I thought Chinatown was a name you just
    Used for whatever reason.
    I had no idea you were from China

    I'm not from China; my wife is. I'm a hillbilly from Tennessee.
    I do enjoy my time in China though. It's not at all like the news portrays it or like people that have never been there portray it.
    One time when I was renewing my visa, while over there, I asked how many Americans were living there at that particular time. The lady said somewhere around 100,000. That included the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau.

    It begs the question, what were they doing 1200 years ago that caused a massive drought because we all know only humans can change the climate per the climate alarmists?

    Your wife owns 3 properties in China....a foreigner can only own 1 residential property and cannot be a landlord.

    Yeah, I know. She's a Chinese citizen, so we make it work.
    My buddy from Texas ran into the same, and made it work.

    I'm going on what the lady told me. One person told me there's 175,000 Americans living in China. Guess no one knows for sure.
