Here (Fortaleza, Brasil) we had some 5 years without rain - at all. When it came, young kids would run in fear, of that unknown water falling from the sky... and I never saw so many car crashes in my life. Looks like people really lose unused habilities...
Not that it was that much rain anyway... but the city just flooded, since some git in the management had not bothered keeping the drainage system working. I did have some problems myself - after 2 years unchecked, my car's wipers just quit the moment I turned them on. Lucky me, I had some orange refrigerant and vodka under the seat, from the night before, and was able to survive with them until the rain stopped (some hour later). Now, if someone would like to buy houses around here, I'm available to help... :-) Luiz Felipe luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:58:01 -0500, Christian <[email protected]> escreveu: > In DC the mantra is "milk, bread, toilet paper!" > > Spit on the pavement and traffic will be grid-locked for days. > > Fun stuff to read, Dave. > -- > > Christian > http://404mohawknotfound.blogspot.com/ > > Bill Owens wrote: > > Hell, here in North Carolina, just the threat of any kind of frozen > > precip causes a run on the grocery stores for milk and bread, even > > though said precip will be gone in less than 24 hours.
