Hey Bill,
So that's where all the rain went, your side of the Atlantic. Hasn't seriously rained here for a couple of weeks, just the odd shower or overnight drizzle.

By the way, be thankful to live in the Land of the Free for fuel prices, ours is the equivalent of $8.72 a gallon (US). O_O
One reason why I have a small bike that does 50km per litre, 125mpg (US). And a bicycle, and recumbent trike.

Another reason to kayak as well, no fuel costs. :D
