    We had record rainfall yesterday (125mm in 1 hr) and so there's a bit of cleanup happening around our building. I'm staring, captivated, unable to turn away, as a small digger meticulously, painfully, and disturbingly without any entertainment value at all, works its way across the sodden grass by laying down a piece of marine ply, rolling onto it, turning around and picking up the piece it just rolled off, and picking that piece up and laying it in front of its path. Piece by piece. Turn by turn. Nudge by nudge to ensure they are aligned. I'm hyptnotised. This isn't normal, is it?

        For Canadian entertainment? I'd say yes, decidedly yes, in fact.

              It was the cheapest carwash in town. Hey - the payments on that thing are killing me. I need to save where I can.

                Because 0.000125 km of rain wouldn't make sense.

                But it looks bigger.
