Never seen anything quite like this...it has been raining...no, its been POURING since about 12 noon yesterday (Friday afternoon our time)....its now nearly noon on Saturday and neither the wind nor the rain has let up one iota...The winds are "Chicago-style" and its a good thing dachshunds are built low to the ground, because whenever they venture outside their ears flap so fast it looks like they are preparing for flight. I am not sure our backyard has adequate space for a weiner dog to achieve take-off velocity, but they looked darn close.
Look, it would be one thing if the rain let up every once-in-a-while, but I haven't seen rain dump out of the sky like this for so long and in such tremendous amounts...I half expect to see a little Japanese Noah out building a wooden ship in one of the rice we pass on the way to base...
No wonder all the faucets here in Misawa jet water out like their connected directly to fire hydrants. I think Japan could improve relations with China by exporting some of this water to the parched Chinese.
As of course the weather if playing hell with the satellite, so its look like a Battlestar Galactica on DVD Saturday....
THe good news: the rain should be gone by Monday morning, and AFN is showing both NFC East games this week...so it'll be "up at 0130" for me again...
