Droughts

We are experiencing another drought in these lands, a regular, once in a decade disaster here.  A desert will unfortunately  remain a desert underneath all those skyscrapers, shopping centers,  highways, palm trees imported from Mexico and eucalyptus trees from Australia.  News media report that good citizens have been squealing on bad citizens to the authorities.   Bad citizens have been observed by good citizens wasting water sprinkling their lawns, and washing their mega SUV vehicles, and they must be punished. Pavlik Morozov lives!

My own private insignificant drought has come to a temporary hiatus when I stumbled on two real-to-life stories, one of them only a conversation, actually, plus new info regarding my long lost mysterious paternal grandmother.  Now all I have to do is write it all down.
