Abundance is a disaster

There's a rainstorm outside. It is a first downpour today but the heavy rains come everyday now. In the South there's already been some local flooding and it'll probably getting worse now. I, luckily, live in a flood free zone but I'm hoping for all those people in the mountains it'll stop raining before the streams and rivers there overflow. The floods are most common and devastating natural disasters in Poland (although we lately also have tornadoes). This is how we pay for Global Warming.

It been raining heavily for more then an hour, maybe two. I'm not sure because I lost consciousness when I come back home and when I woke up about an hour ago it was already raining. It's been very humid last few days, which makes the mid 20o temperatures seem much hotter. The air is hard to breathe and I'm sleepy and tired all the time. This made me even more convinced I was right to avoid Galveston. All the accounts say this is normal weather there. Just hotter. If I was to live on Venus... I would rather move to Mars.

I only force myself to do the poster but I wasn't up to updating. The humidity is so great all the metal and ceramic surfaces (they are usually colder) are crying. The water condensates on them and everything is wet. This was especially evident on Tuesday before the first rain. In the cold room everything was wet. Good thing we have air condition in the lab. I wouldn't be able to do any serious work otherwise.

And I forgot - just to show once again that the world is more crazy then any conspiracy theories - in Australia crop circles are caused by the wallabies running in circles while being high on poppies. They probably think it's funny, man.

And last moment update - the things SF/fantasy writers do in their free time  - they start insult battles on Twitter. I wonder how long will it take for Scalzi to respond. I'll watch unfold safely on my friend's page.
