Those who live the submarine life

[lizblackdog]

Obviously, floods and destruction are not a good thing. Obviously, I wish that part of it weren's happening. Equally, I hate the fact that we're getting more than our share while other places are suffering with drought. I'd fix that if I could.

But still, this weather suits me down to the ground. I normally spend summer miserably dipping myself in cold water, unable to move without turning bright red and flopping over with heat exhaustion and desperately wishing I could peel off my skin as well as my clothes. Not this year. I can walk the dogs in daylight without dying! I love rain!

The only drawback from where I'm sitting is the huge slug and snail population explosion. I do my best not to tread on them, I really do; I dislike killing things I don't want to eat and I find the sensation under my feet nauseating and horrifying. But when it's dark and there are so damn many, it's impossible to miss them all. *shudder*

Listen: T'ain't No Sin - Tom Waits and William S. Burroughs. My usual summer theme song.

They are the grossest things I've ever seen, and they make me want to puke.

I feel much the same. But I still have to take the dogs out after dark; there's no avoiding them.

i bet there are a billion slugs out there now that the sun's gone down. my friend alex is horrified by them. :(

SO AM I. and there are billions every damn night when I walk the dogs before bed, and there have been for weeks, because it hasn't stopped raining for weeeks.

apart from that, I love this weather.

once, we were walking back from the fireworks and it was all sluggy out and scott stepped on a slug and he was wearing sandals and the innards of the slug squirted out of it and managed to get in between his foot and sandal. :(
