Wet wet wet
Though 32 days and 32 nights short of Biblical proportions, it has nevertheless been seriously wet around here. It rained every day from last Tuesday through this Tuesday, and although the sun was out earlier today, it’s clouding over now.
Apparently there’s been only one death attributed to the rains and flooding, but I have to believe that depression has been on the rise. If this was the fundamental climate of the planet, would human life have evolved? Or would we simply have said “Fuggedaboudit” and collectively checked out as soon as we achieved sufficient consciousness to realize that everything was going to be damp and moldy forever?
