That's the question everyone in Scotland is saying. Why you might ask? Well, let's just say it was above 75 degrees about three times the whole summer. And we never had a week go by without at least 3 days of rain thrown in the mix. This summer was the wettest on record. That's what everyone told me last summer, so I was half hoping that this one would be different. Oh well, that's climate change for you. All of the scientists said that Scotland, and indeed the UK as a will be getting more rain as a result, but it'll come in larger chunks, so we can expect more flooding with a drought or two during the non-rainy season. This country has never had a non-rainy season, so water conservation is absolutely unheard of here. They'll be in for a big surprise when pretty soon Earth's climate really starts taking a turn for the worse. But we don't need to worry about that, because the Republican party will just pray to God for a miracle right? And if the entire country of Bangladesh drowns and dies, then well, I suppose it'll be because they didn't convert to some crazy evangelical form of Christianity and we'll have another minor Noah's flood. I'm sure that'll be mentioned by some nimrod in the next 25 years....
Oh, I'm not even living in North America any more and already I'm livid about this election! I would probably be so angry I'd just spontaneously combust if I were still in Tennessee. It's far too cold and rainy here for that to happen though!
Anywho. Work has been going really well. I am enjoying it, and will be a bit bummed when my very short term contract is up. At the very least it's been good to meet people in the field and get back into the swing of things. Plus Marius is starting to really enjoy nursery, so that's good. Although we can't afford to keep him there if I'm not working... So after my long Californian Christmas, I might have to really kick my job hunting into full swing and actually blast my resume out there. We'll see though.
Marius is totally turning into a British kid! He says Nee-Nar for his emergency vehicle sirens! Here's a video of him saying it. It's too cute! What next I wonder? Hiya instead of Hello? Mum instead of Mom?
