The sun is back in the sky and the clouds have disappeared. Despite this, there are rumours of rain in the near future. The meteorologists have rendered their opinions about the rain, giving us close to 50% chance or better for the next six days. What does that mean? I mean, I know that the scientists can only give us their opinions because the scientific prognostication of the weather is just an educated guess, using the findings of the past. And that is limited, because so many factors enter into the hypothesis: geography, humidity, pressure, the revolution of the earth and the pull of gravity and the ebb and flow of the tides. They all add up to an educated guess.
Still, when you are trying to cast your own activities, it would be nice to get a better handle on what is supposed to happen. I would look forward to several days of serious rain. I don't expect it. September is traditionally a dry month. So we don't have much to give us hope. Other than their opinions.
I don't know why I am writing about this. I guess it just shows the dry desert growing in my mind right now.
