Crap, it's raining
again.
I'm over it. Way over it. As I've expressed (to the point of tedium) to the few friends who have not tuned me out by now, I wish
El Nino would pack up his variable water temperatures and go home, receding into the deep ocean like Godzilla trudging home to nap after a long day of wrecking Tokyo for shits and grins.
Which is all well and good, except for the faulty underlying premise of
El Nino's culpability. Seems an
oceanographer at JPL
has established that the blame for this winter's wet weather cannot be laid at the feet of the (figurative) baby Jesus.
Fair enough. I'll lay off the kid. But what
is causing this endless deluge?
To paraphrase the
JPL response: "I dunno."
Not exactly satisfying, is it? I mean, what are we paying these people uncompetitive government wages for anyway?
I think I'll just keep flogging away at my Godzilla metaphor until someone can provide me with a more adequate explanation of why L.A. has become
Drizzle City.
Update: If I'm reading this correctly (and that's a big if) the USGS says El Nino is to blame. I guess it all boils down to which guvmint agency with an alphabet-soup moniker you want to believe: JPL or USGS.
