some much needed rain




With very little rainfall during this first month of the year 1387, the skies finally opened up the last couple days, delivering some much needed rain. And there were some pretty good downpours between last night and this morning with more rain forecasted for Sunday and Monday. There was of course some minor "flooding" and I almost felt like I could be of some use as a Naval officer, alas the water was not deep enough for a submarine. The Italians were also rejoicing as they could almost use their gondolas to navigate around their end of the camp, and they were looking forward to charging Americans 50 EUR for a gondola ride. It must be a Venice thing I guess.
