Rain

I think the talking heads said we've had just 3 days this month without rain.

I don't think the temperature has been above 70 degrees, but it sure has been muggy.

There's always a bit of "silver lining" - the ground is so saturated that I can't run the mower. I hate yard work.

In fact, I hate mowing so much that I considered buying a ride on mower - one of those 50 inch wide jobs. Hell, with that I could make two trips over my front yard and I'd be done. Brrrrmmmm! 30 feet, turn around and move to the left. Brrrrmmm! 30 feet, done. It would take, maybe, a minute. The back yard would take about 2 minutes.

Instead, I put an ad on Craig's List. I was amazed! I got about 20 responses. I hired a kid. He showed up - once. The other responses? They were all supposed to call me back, or some other thing. None of them followed through. Pretty simple to see why they're unemployed.
