The longest of long-term propositions now.

Finally, the storms are no longer going around us. Of course, they're not normal weather patterns, either; we virtually never get anything from the east-southeast, and yet that's where a lot of our rain has come from the last three days/nights.  We also used to have a well-defined pattern of sun-rain-sun each day, but all bets are off on scheduling now.

It's fine; we're just happy to have rain and not have it all go racing off in flash floods and mudslides (although the burn scars undoubtedly are not faring well right now). But there's still a lot to make up for, and a few days, or even weeks, or monsoonal rains are night going to get us out of this 1,200-year drought. Hell, they won't even make a dent in it.

This is the longest of long-term propositions now.

Meanwhile, I still need to step up the work of making the other kind of rain. By that, I mean sales, which we need to make consistently, always [and especially now that I've just shelled out in cash for all the bills for our second-most expensive month of the year, plus a bunch of costly medical stuff, all to the tune of the medium-high four figures. Yes, cash.]

So links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the other ladder, the Thermacell lanterns [the flies are already out, so the mosquitoes won't be far behind], and the liquid soaps, which we can't get locally but prevent our hands from cracking and bleeding given that we're forced to wash them fifty times a day);
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before the latter half of summer, and the tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's perhaps even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
