We’ve had over four inches of rain this week and that’s about all anyone around here can talk about. At least that is case with our neighbors. We haven’t left the hood in a while. We took a walk down Hoffman to see how “the fool on the hill” made out with all the rain. He was out in the road at the bottom of his driveway shoveling mud. Why the town ever gave that guy the green light to build on that steep slope is still a mystery.
It’s not not like it has been raining all the time, it has all come in these incredible tropical like downpours accompanied with thunder and lightning. We’ve lost power twice. We woke up to thunder this morning around three and shut the computers down ourselves before they got spiked.
Have you checked out Martin Edic’s global warming blog? There might be something to this.

Thanks for the mention. There’s so many climate change stories out there that I can’t keep up anymore. I’m mostly interested in the habits people are changing because of superspikes like the gas price situation- driving slower, dumping their SUVs or trying to, cutting back on buying stuff, etc. We drove 30 billion less miles in March than the year before. That’s a 4.5% drop. It makes a difference.
Toronto has had so much rain this year that storm sewers don’t work and everyone’s basements are flooding.
More rain…

My favorite new behavior in response to high gas prices is “hypermiling.” I haven’t tried it, don’t even know exactly how its done, but it sure sounds like a modern concept.
