feb?!?!?!?!?! WTF

Well I thought it not raining here for a couple of months was odd...

Yeah Well. TBC lives in Townsville.

And it doesnt matter whether it rains there or not.

Why? Because it is not an agricultural producing area.

Go north or south of there, and it does matter.

Mackay is the largest Sugar producing region in Australia, and we have not had meaningful rain in 18 mths.

Got maybe half inch yesterday from a thunderstorm and yours truly did the chicken little "the sky is falling" routine, much to the amusement of the family.

Australia is the Dryest Continent on the planet.

At the moment we are doing a one in twenty year drought.

And it is killing people and businesses all over the country.

We are struggling.
