Collateral
The fringe of tropical storm Ivan collided with Boston today.
It brought with it winds gusting up to 15 or 20 miles per hour, and roadway puddles nigh on ankle deep.
While the denizens of the Gulf Coast began piecing together their fractured lives, my left foot, stupidly shod in a mesh trainer was getting hopelessly soaked.
Mother Nature's ruinous course continues . . .
And now, pour la digestion, allow me to offer you a cigarette.

I miss really big storms. There were a couple pretty great ones (Firestorm! Ice storm!) when I lived in Spokane, but there wasn't shit in Oregon or here in Los Angeles. I think I've seen maybe five torrential downpours since I left for college and almost no snow. Weak sauce.

They're uncommon at best in Seattle as well. The move back to Spokane might roughly coincide with the end of a big summer storm season. I'm hoping to have a lightning strike on my parent's property.
That's always a lark.
Speaking of LA and storms, did you hear the reports of dendochronological reports that suggest that the past 100+ years of rainfall in the west weren't normal, but in fact a very wet period, meaning that this savage drought you guys are in might not be a unfortunate exception, but the rule?
HA HA, you're going to die of thirst
