And the Big Wet Continues....

Tropical stylin ain't all its cracked up to be. Sure, we got the reef on our doorstep, rainforest just up the road. But the downside to this is the wet season. So called because its, well... wet. Very wet. So much so that during a thunderstorm yesterday (as different to the usual incessant monsoonal downpours), Toontown recorded 44mm in hour. Doesn't seem like much hey, but lets put that in perspective... Historically Brownsville gets an average of 125.7mm rainfall in dec, 268.5mm in jan and 296.6 in feb. So far this year we've had: 178.8mm in dec, 664.0mm in jan, and so far in feb we've had 845.8mm and its only the 17th!! Makes u wonder whether its gettin all biblical on us... maybe we need an ark... or more in keeping with the times (and Longshots love of mass transport - see previous blogs on jets and chinooks), maybe we need to get our hands on one of these little puppies...




that way hobbesy and i can be guarrenteed of making it to the launch!!

  1. Love the hovering plan, but there's nowhere for Stevie and the Rev to jam. Ever see that bad boy that used to hoon around the Gold Coast Broadwater? More along these lines:

    Plenty of room in there to be unaware of Stevie crankin'out Superstition on the Rhodes built into the bar. And probably going cheap too.

  3. I'll get you a hovercraft by this afternoon- with nail polish.

    I actually know someone that had to get a hovercraft from some shady Russians. It had walnut panels and optional missile launcher mounts.

    I'll make a call.
