Here comes the rain again...

Unless this guy was planning on planting rice, he's not happy.
Above is a view of brand-new Lake Kokomo taken last Saturday, looking west out the window of a southbound Subie on US 31.

It's still raining outside, and has been since yesterday afternoon. More than another inch, they're saying, landing on already-waterlogged fields.

    I've said this before...

    The thing about Indiana is this: It's FLAT. Water has no incentive to go anyplace, so it just lays there.

    There's so many ways that thought can be expanded upon....

    But aren't we supposed to be having a climate similar to Arrakis by now?

    That's what Algore told us.

    I know that strip of highway.

    Way back when I carried on a long distance relationship with a girl from a little town just East of Kokomo.

    We met on bitnet chat in 1990 when the internet was but a wee infant.

    Just another reason why I don't miss farming...

    According to yesterday's farm report, less than 1% of Indiana's corn is in the ground. Iowa is at zero percent.

    OH crikey. That looks like my front yard after a typical August thunderstorm. You guys need better Civil Engineers up there.

    Scott J: Pfaw. In 1990 the internet was almost old enough to drink.

    Tam: Dang. Looks like you guys got... well, just about our average yearly rainfall. In like, a week. (9.5 inches a year, here in Albuquerque.)

    I got to enjoy some of the displayed aircraft at K.I. Sawyer now that the facility has gotten a bit more civilian. I think I'll have to try and visit Gus's namesake airbase sometime.

    If you are interested, you can also get up close and personal with his Gemini capsule at Spring Mill State Park. Not to climb in, but much closer than you'd get at a NASA exhibit.

    Kokomo, that so many people thought to be in California or on Hawaii, thanks to the Beach Boys.
