I don’t remember the last day it didn't rain? My damn pigs are in water up to there calves it’s practically a swimming pool outback!? You know how bad wet pig manure smells? I can’t even get in there to clean it up the water is so bad and every day more comes! Is it just me or has this been an extra wet rain season?
This thread should've totally been named Wet Pig Manure.
This is why I don't keep animals. My kids want to get me a dog and I tell them only if it cleans up after itself and pays its own vet bills.
The rain wasn't too bad this year until August. The humidity the last couple of weeks has been brutal.
I walked past a herd of sheep recently, and that was the most amazingly bad smell I've ever smelled. Wow.
The smells not bad with pigs if you keep the pen clean but you simply can’t achieve that when its in 3-4 inches of water the rains killing me this year

The fires are like 50% contained now but at least ash has stopped falling from the sky day and night.

Now that the ground cover is burned off, the coming rain will precipitate (no pun intended) the next California natural disaster, landslides. Thus, the cycle continues.
Damn it more rain I’m gonna need a kayak to get down my road soon

Typically the rains in California begin about this time of year. Hopefully you guys get a shift in weather patterns soon.
If you've visited California, you can see why people want to live there. If you've lived there, you can see why people want to leave.
(I made that up but I think it is perhaps true.)

Well done, Marty. A perfect characterization of that strange dichotomy.

Probably somewhat true. But people usually only visit the coastal areas.
But it's also a pretty big place. To me there's 3 california's. There's a big division between coastal Ca and inland (rural) Ca, and also north/south differences - although these are more superficial.
If you stick me in Long Beach (LA) or Knob Hill (SF), I wouldn't have a whole lot in common with either group.
Probably a whole lot like the difference between Jax and Miami now that I think about it.

It's pretty much like that in a lot of states. In NM if you get out of Albuquerque and Santa Fe it's a pretty nice state. In Colorado get out of the Denver area., etc.

Kinda like owning a boat.. The two greatest days of being a boat owner is the day you but the boat.. and the day you sell it.
