Revisiting some old haunts and I came across this.

I guess I'm an old timer. I recognized the URL and ,
thankfully did not open it.

Having a bad week Taddy?

Actually, yes, Scotty. There are going to be some very unhappy clients
tomorrow, and I'm also looking at a summer in drought in the middle of
the desert every two weeks with the temperatures in the low 50s

Yeah, but it's a DRY heat!


'fraid not. 'tis the season of thunderstorms. This area is far enough
north (Lat 27 S to Lat 28 30 S) to get regular tropical incursions,
which create roving thunderstorms, so when they're around, the 1% RH
goes up to 70%. That means you can get appallingly bogged in fine fine
loose dusty sand and stuck there to be hit by a local thunderstorm which
makes the sand driveable but wipes out all movement on the clay
flats...or one gets stuck by floods coming in from the northeast. Makes
for interesting times.
