According to today's US Drought Monitor map, our southeast Michigan area finally moved from Moderate Drought to Abnormally Dry. Due to rain we had in the past week.

Other areas in the Midwest, Minnesota and Missouri, didn't fare as well.

In Cheboygan, Michigan, there are no local journalists to report news.

Local residents are turning to Facebook for local news. (Personal note: argh, Facebook isn't a reliable or trustworthy resource to learn what's happening in your community.)
