Well, in the swampy bog hole I live in, it actually stopped raining and the sun came out for a couple of hours today, long enough to actually run the mower over part of the waist high grass... before it started raining again. Of course, it's not raining now, but the mower doesn't have headlights, and the neighbors might complain anyway about mowing in the dark ...

5 States are flooded over substantial parts, and in the parts that are not, we have swarms of locusts. 9 major river systems are flooded, looks like water will reach Lake Eyre again. Looks like we don't have many bushfires so far this year, would be a bloody miracle if water burned, I suppose....
