[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Greenhouse effect in Finland: Zero mosquitoes in July. Two mosquitoes in August. Got 'em both, so expecting none in September. So little rain that our lawn escaped, screaming, to the grass blade heaven, and had to be replaced by readymade rolls of happy green industrial-grade grass. Which promptly migrated wherever the original lawn had gone, leaving a brownish-yellow substitute that fooled nobody. Crazy birds that have their third or fourth batch of eggs now when they ought to have one per year. Crazy Finns who travel to Prague just to see what the flood looks like. Only serious news in the telly, stuff that has no place in the dog days. People no longer have the energy to get summer-stupid. The sun saps the strength from the village idiots. Dust everywhere, little tornadoes turning the sky brown, like it is in the early spring when the anti-skid sand of the winter gets airborne. Except that we can only blame ourselves for the spring dust. Summer dust we now blame on Bush and his anti-Kyoto platform. No stars. In the summer, the sky is always so bright that there's no proper night in June or July, but I want to see my stars in August. The dust in the air just blocks everything out, except for the innocent blue glow of a "clear" sky. The dusk and dawn skies are spectacular, though. I could take the current settings all right. But when the knob is turned up one more step, we'll get malaria and legionnaire's and short-sleeved or topless tourists. And the mosquitoes will be back. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
