The Whole Wide World

Over the weekend, it rained here in California. That may not be big news for you, but for us, it is celebration time. Our drought has gone past frustrating to worrisome to damn scary, so any precipitation is welcome.

Meanwhile, there was a massive earthquake in Nepal, and a volcanic eruption in Chile. Basically, the earth hates us, and humanity will continue to find our home an indifferent, even hostile place.

But the good news is… well, I don't have any good news on this front. Many scientists believe that we are in a sweet zone between ice ages, or that climate change will devastate civilization. When looked at this way, it can be argued that right now is as good as it gets.

So live it up and enjoy nature… I mean, before it kills all of us, I mean.

In the meantime, send any water you're not using out here to us. We appreciate it.
