Today, right on cue, it started raining. I think it always rains over our thee-day Victoria Day weekends. I always feel sorry for families who choose to go camping. Well, at least the weather was excellent on Saturday and Sunday. If those outdoors folks waited for today, they packed up in the rain though.
I don't often blog about the weather; however, it is an integral part of one's existence. This was especially made obvious on our recent trip. So many people live in the Soutwest Desert. Large mountain ranges rob the land east of them of needed rain. People, however, enjoy living in places where the sun aways shines. Farmers also look for the same locations. So, cities have developed where neither man nor beast has any right to live. Rivers can be harnessed for the production of electricity to cool enormous volumnes of inside air, and they can be diverted to quench the thirst of both crops and cities.
