English Bay, Jan 07
Endless rain in Vancouver. I read a sci-fi story once about the terraforming of Venus, phase I of which is performed by bacteria whose purpose is to transmute the acidulous Venusian atmosphere into air as we know it. The by-product is planet-wide torrential rain for centuries and millenia; a sea-creating, invariant rain that renders the senses defunct. All the characters go mad from the rain and kill each other with sticks. Well, the rain we have now is nowhere near as bad as that, but it is a pain in the arse all the same. Here’s a picture of E heading for Japan on one of the few non-rainy days we’ve had this year:

I WILL wear red gumboots again.

Posted on 24-Mar-07 at 7:36 am | PermalinkLovely pic indeed - but when did E go blonde? I remember her as a dark-haired imp ….
