Your explanation should solid. The only caution, is that east of the Rockies, the weather has been and continues to be very dry. I have hear a number of statements about very significan drought and near "dust bowl" conditions. I don't see that being a problem in your case, but in some western states hydro could be in short supply depending on the drainage basin.

Davis is Mr. Roger's evil twin.
