Well, the old satellite dish isn’t getting much of anything right now–zero on the reception scale, with 12 or so being necessary for a signal and 25 or so being the average on a clear day. Fortunately, I don’t have anything to record till tomorrow, maybe Sunday if I catch stuff on reruns. Good thing, too–nothing but a blank screen would show up.

The reason? It’s pouring out there. Big raindrops, and lots of ’em. Thunder and lightning. The works. I wouldn’t be surprised if flash floods were predicted in some parts (not for me, I’m on top of a hill). I certainly would not want to be one of those homeless people with a tarp-and-wood shack on the usually-dry main riverbed of the Tama right now. One guy out there has lots of dogs. I hope he and they get to safety, if the water rises enough to be a threat. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow, too.

And here I thought rainy season had ended. One thing’s for sure, we aren’t in danger of having a drought this year. And the weather radar from an hour ago (I use TBS, they’re in English and have pretty good data) doesn’t seem to show much rain at all in the local area. Strange.

But wet.
