Where is the rain?
 
Hey,I don't want to spoil the party but what happened to rain in the
Fall?
It's already October and there still isn't any real rainfall in the
Mid-Willamette Valley of OR.
Is this global warming's effect?
I don't know about you but I'm gettin' sick of looking at ozone
blue haze.
What goes????

Well, I cant comment on the US weather, but over here in the UK, things are pretty much the same.
We had the hottest summer in history...which of course we complained about (always more of a social thing with us brits) Followed by huge thunderstorms..but not were I am, we've only had two or three storms this year, and all of them have been rubbish, just a couple of flashes of sheet lightening, and a few drops of heavy rain..then nothing.
We have rain now, but it doesn't seem to be lasting the several days at a time we are used to. Now we seem to get a really heavy downpour all at once rather than days of grey drizzle, which means our rainfall is still average over the month even though it is falling noticeably different.
In fact, its become more noticeable in the last 10 years, our summers are hotter and dryer, and our winters are much wetter. The Autumn we are going through now, its considerably colder and dryer than any I remember in previous years. I also bet we don't get much snow again this year, but we will probably have flooding in Jan/Feb.

Ahh, there goes my morning rant. Its actually a nice but cold and sunny autumn day today. :)

Maybe it's my new Hummer H2 or my 5 2-stroke jet-ski's... BTW, the Hummer
gets a bit more power if you modify the engine management system to bypass
all that BS environmental stuff.

Welcome to Oregon, it's usually dry in September and most of October.

Aren't you the same wack job warning about the same thing during the Reagan
Adminisration?



Adam Ross October 1st 03 04:27 PM

It's because all of the rain has been centered in the eastern half of the
nation, at least, since LAST October, but i think the pattern is changing my
friend. We're due for much drier conditions here in the East, so your rain
will come, just a little late, I'm sure, but maybe not as much as you WANT.

Funny how there were no homeless people during the 1990s. And health
insurance wasn't a problem either.

In the US we get into a tub of cool water and soak to cool off. 15,000

out to their families. Peace

Well I find Americans funny, why is it you have to be either Republican or Democrat? Why cant you NOT support either?

As for the homeless joke..why does it matter when homeless folk first appeared on the streets? The point is what are they still doing there?

As for the imminent ice age or global warming..the fact is OUR environment is changing, and we need to do our best, as intelligent beings, to see if we can change this.

" I would rather die than take a bath!"

Not only are you sick, but you also seem to be forgetting that a higher number of people also died in the UK, Spain and Italy from this summers heatwave...and in case you have forgotten, these ARE your allies!

And it's still Silverado-with-a-different-body-and-higher-pricetag piece of
**** calculated to sell to the most mindless and clueless of urban and
suburban yuppie idiots. I suppose a few folks bought 'em 'cause they
couldn't afford real Hummers, but those appear to be the exception to the
rule.

The H2 is kinda like the rich-man's version of those cheesy ass Honda CRXs
with the spoilers and coffee can mufflers. All look (deliberately ugly, I
suppose) and no substance. Except for stats like this:
"The H2 is said to be capable of tackling 6 inches of standing water without
slowing below 40 mph,"

Now...what numbnutted non-drunken-redneck would want to do that in the first
place? There are very few places in any ORV area anywhere where you can go
40mph, let alone 40mph through six inches of water. And if you go through
6 inches of water at 40 mph anywhere where there's traffic, not only are you
a complete asshole but you're also a horrible driver. So, my question is,
what kind of dumbass spent all that extra cash to be able to do stuff like
go through six inches of water at ridiculous speeds?

The "real" Hummer is an actual badass in the hands of somebody who knows how
to operate it.
