Good morning all. Quite a few places in this little country got whacked by thunderstorms yesterday, although for us, despite the forecasters dire warnings of impending doom heading our way, not a flash, boom, rumble or even a single drop of rain. A pity really as I would have appreciated a little help from nature in removing all the white poop that swallows had deposited all over my once black car. I am convinced they use it for target practice.
