Default A good soaking

Just back from the Saturday library ride with my daughter and we got
soaked. There was this weird water-like substance falling from the sky
that had us stumped. I checked wikipedia and discovered it is called
"rain" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain ). Evidently it is something
that used to happen regularly. We also witnessed other strange things
such as "umbrellas" and "raincoats". A very interesting ride indeed.

The CF server is on the fritz as well? Unrelated? Dunno. Bikesoiler
has dealt with the rain/CF server crisis Adequately, by Disappearing
off to the Shed to fix a Spoke.

(sorry, that Monkey Dust vid has Permuted my Thinking)

didnt really happen, the last 24hrs was a contrived ploy by the BOM to
test their met station equipment across the State of Vic...didnt you
see all the little balloons with those radio controlled release
devices... they all did a self destruct after letting the cargo go,
doubt if you will find any remains...

...by the way contents of said luft balloonry wasn't really rain
contituent, it was actually a new low volatility vodka BOM sourced from
up North, apparently its cheaper than real H20 in some parts of the
world, (down town Mokba & StPtsBg)... um ah...ahic..maybe drank too
much of it
