Omg this is definitely not normal for summer the ground is supposed to be dry in the summer lol that's why people can go to the beach and our baseball stadiums don't need to be covered with domes.

Granted summer is over and my heat was on all day today.

100% summer is supposed to be sunny and hot

These people here seem to love rain and as usual the drought talk was easily handled as always..a real drought he had in the 90s

Looks like they removed the rain for tomorrow and except for at night

 

Now Sunday could be beach day afterall

Some peaks try to break through but otherwise a gunky day.

In the wake of yesterday's heavy rain, I went out to Queens to get some photos on a day off. Below are six photos from Alley Pond and Oakland Lake.

I wonder what the animals thought of yesterday's heavy rain.
