Another glum day in paradise

  1. Two weeks.

    It has rained for two weeks straight without letting up once. The Caribbean is under a baguada. A baguada is prolonged heavy, heavy rain. Some might argue that it is the monsoon, but the technical definition of monsoon leaves the Caribbean out for reasons so trifling I couldn't be payed to care. The end result is the same. Rain on top of rain with a side dish of rain after a main course of rain and before a wonderfully ample rain dessert. And after dessert? A hot cup of rain to wash everything down.

    This is the satellite image I just pulled from NOAA. It gets updated every fifteen minutes, but it hasn't changed in two weeks.

    So am I suppose to feel bad for you because you have rain? It's nearly been a hundred degrees where I am, not to mention we've had abnormally high humidity. Oh, did I mention the spiders? Yeah, wolf spiders. They're the size of dogs and they smoke cigars. Oddly enough, if you can tie a leash around their head you can tame it, but they keep you up all night with their damned barking.

    Does the Caribbean have spiders? Wait, no, I don't want to know. Best of luck with your rain, Wrey :D

    We are also having strangely cold weather here on the Aegean at the moment--down to 26 degrees yesterday, and two huge thunderstorms.

    It's great!

    Next week they say it will be back to the usual 35+ :(

    Hate going to work in the summer. And the (one) aircon unit at home has finally decided to pack it in. Can't afford to buy a new system right now.

    *sigh*
