Rain

An inch of rain in this very dry and windy spring is welcome indeed.  And there may be more coming this weekend.  The lives of all humanity, labs and technology to the contrary notwithstanding, depend upon a few inches of topsoil and the fact that it rains.  This simple fact should produce widespread humility; the fact that it generates no notice at all, let alone humility, in our amnesiac population is indication how far gone we are.
