You know who I feel sorry for right now?
Farmers
Its gotta suck to watch a good crop come up in the field. Nice conditions in the spring and summer to grow a crop. First some rain, to get things going, and then a period of good, warm heat to ripen it and make it ready.
So they go out, like they always do. Cut down the straw and prepare for the harvest.
And then it rains.
A lot.
Inches at a time.
I don't know much about farming, but all those thick swathes that I used to see as I drove along, are awfully damn sad looking now. I hope they can salvage something from this season.

I need to complain about something. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter that much but it still pissed me off.
I'm going home for lunch today. If you take the road that goes in front of my office, you have to stop at Main Street for a stop sign. Main Street is the through-road, so both east and west roads must stop.
I do as instructed. I get to Main Street, and I come to a full and complete stop. I was there well before the idiot blonde in the car that was coming at me from the other side. And as there was no traffic coming in either direction on Main Street, I decided to make my left hand turn.
This twink blonde, in her selfish, indulgent way barely even acknowledges the stop sign, and plows right across the road in front of me. HELLO!?!!?! Turning left here!!!
Is it wrong to arm your vehicle with anti-tank weapons, for just such an occasion as this?
