Comments on: In Other Bad Weather https://whynow.dumka.us/2015/10/04/in-other-bad-weather/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Mon, 05 Oct 2015 16:33:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2015/10/04/in-other-bad-weather/comment-page-1/#comment-79957 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 16:33:15 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=35938#comment-79957 The sand couldn’t care less about a couple of feet of rain as long as there isn’t any wind to push over the pine trees. When you get to real dirt in the North County there are problems and the local rivers flood, but it does affect me.

The problem in both the Riviera and Guatemala are mountains which amplify the problems. The Carolinas suffer from the same problems.

* A musician friend and colleague, an internationally known organ soloist who lived and worked in Dallas two or three decades ago with an early-instruments group I occasionally performed with, often spends summers in her family’s country home in France, the branch of the family that did not emigrate; I can only hope she had returned to the US before this happened.

* And several of my public health colleagues from 30 years ago lived and worked in Guatemala for many years, occasionally returning decades later to follow up on some of their work. Again, all I can do is cross my fingers… pray, if you prefer that term… that all of them are OK.

The earth is no longer a particularly stable place to live, and I doubt its stability is likely to improve in the near future. Bryan, I hope you are managing to avoid the rains on your coast. (Sigh.)
