Hi Iain,

I used to live in a hot and sunny place. Now I live in a very warm and
rainy place,

The drought map of this world changes endlessly. Only silly people
claim knowlege of why ;)

Be thankful for the rain, Al. It may turn out to be a very valuable
commodity. We had some visitors during the summer holidays, fruit
farmers from Oz, who told us that there has not been rain there for
two years. When I expressed surprise they mentioned that some
districts had no rain for seven years!

Finland has plenty of water in 100 000 lakes. Some time ago there
was a plan for Finland to import oil from Saudi Arabia, and
export water. The water was more valuable than the oil. The
idea could not be sustained due to the difficulties in logistics -
the same tankers could not be used for both commodities.

Regards
Iain
