We're in ... probably not quite a drought but we've gotten about 3 cm. of rain in the last month. ETA: OH, NO, that's a drought. Turns out we went 29 days with 0 rain. And then it rained an inch. Two weeks ago.

And meanwhile, North Carolina's flooded by Hurricane Helene, and most of Britain is under flood watches, with more rain expected.

"Celebrity West Oxfordshire farmer Jeremy Clarkson summed up the frustration by posting a string of five expletives followed by the word 'rain'."

Weather: 60 degrees, rain, gale-force winds.** In short, a Nor'Easter...except that (a) it's come up from the southwest, like a very late hurricane, and (b) it's 30 degrees too warm.

Fuck global warming.

** As in, We've just lost power for a fraction of a second twice in a row here.***

ETA: Weather: Numerous downed trees in Belmont made my trip home (via the slash pile where the Lions Club had been selling Christmas trees), umm, interesting; but nothing had fallen on my house when I got home, so.
Party: I should have remembered to just bring Tupperware.

Writing my Congressional delegation about climate change. Here the text, if anyone wants to copy it.

Okay, now imma make banana bread. Some day I will get around to looking for more apartments...
