Hmm that's neat, from the article “We conclude that Betelgeuse is in the late stage of core carbon burning, and a good candidate for the next Galactic supernova,”

That would be wild to witness a supernova.

Hopefully that didn't discourage you. This year has been much more forgiving, at least in my area. I know last year was the 2nd longest period without noticeable precipitation for 67 days. Went from June to August with nothing. I was so angry. This year I made sure to put at minimum 7 inches of mulch in every bed >:(

Last year was AWFUL omg!
