but no one ever does anything about it. Here, the rains have been unrelenting for, uh, days now. It's not like we're having dangerous floods or anything. (Other than the flash variety, which are not to be sneezed at, but neither are they Johnstown.) It isn't the rains per se, it's just that it's irritating that we get them when the rest of the country is in an historic drought. If this keeps up, we might have to plant actual crops. (This state mainly grows sod for golf courses these days, and pine trees for paper.)
Mind you, we probably can't take over for the corn-growing regions. I'm pretty sure we get too much rain for corn. We're actually coming out of a very long drought ourselves; these rains are just a return to what used to be normal. Anyway, so much for that Atacama Desert post from earlier this year. I'm going to end this rain right now; I'm going out to get an umbrella!
