all washed up and comin' at ya

People, I swear to you that there has not been a SINGLE day since June 22, when we arrived, that the Mumbai 5-day forecast has been for anything other than "Scattered T-Storms" across the board. The only thing that has changed is that for the past couple of weeks the temps have been about 5-10 degrees lower than before.

Seriously, why do they even bother updating this thing between June and October?

It has been pouring for the last three days; I hope our flight isn't delayed or canceled. Urrrrggggggggh. San Franciscans, we'll see you at the office on Monday! I know y'all just saw me a few weeks ago, but this time Mr. Alex will be with me. Yay.

I haven't seen Casey in well over a month. Not that I care, because he is a jack@ss. Still, I'm just sayin'. Maybe I miss him a little.

headline news

Good to hear that "much of the problem will be solved in 2 years." Uhm, that's not going to help us get to work in the morning.



Last night Alex, Casey, Don, and I went to a restaurant across the street from the hotel for dinner. We had 4 beers, 4 main dishes, an appetizer, a bottle of mineral water, naan, and rice, and the bill came to about $23. Then we went back to the hotel and had a total of 3 alcoholic drinks, one juice drink, and two servings of ice cream, and it came to about $45. I think we're going to be spending more time looking for places to eat and drink outside the hotel.

monsoon fury continues

This weekend there is heavy rain and more flooding. The airport was closed for a lot of the day, and people are being asked not to go outdoors if they can avoid it. So, we're stuck at the hotel and then [HORROR] the internet service was out for most of the afternoon. It is supposed to only get worse tomorrow, because they are forecasting heavy rain for another 24-48 hours. Good times! Good thing I brought lots of sock knitting supplies.

It's hard to capture the rain on video but here are a few seconds I filmed out my hotel window this morning.
