Okay, I've been suffering silently through weeks of unseasonal clouds and sporadic rain -- and the strange spectacle of mid-May snow in a region where the hills are usually long brown by now -- but it's once again time for my annual mental break:

Hail.

June 1.

Hail.

AAAAAAGH

YES. THIS.

If it's any help, today summer just started here! Er, that's the second summer; the first one was uh in March I think, and finished last month, which I guess was autumn? There should have been a winter and spring in between but we appear to have skipped those.

Every time I've seen hail, it's been in June or July . . .

[xiphias]

My point being that hail is a sign of summer! Yay!

Not, mind you, my FAVORITE sign . . .

[baxil]

I kinda look at hail as a weather SEGFAULT. I agree, there's a specific debugging routine left in somewhere inside of summer() that often generates it, but this year we're getting all-around program instability. We've had several crashes that haven't gone anywhere near the summer code. And the Prime Debugger seems to be falling down on the job. :(

[xiphias]

Now, now. This is actually part of the program. It's not the Programmer's problem that we're feeding crazy data as inputs. GIGO, after all.

... And meanwhile, over here, we're seeing completely unseasonable heat and a country-wide drought. :/

[baxil]

Trade you?

Actually, wait, on second thought: You give that back! :-p This year just broke California's decade-long drought. I want my unreasonable, ridiculous heat back! I need it for my stupid ectothermic blood.

[balinares]

Yeah, we'd need to trade half of our respective weathers. Balance in all things. Which is something the world seems stubbornly determined not to provide, for some reason. :|

Heh! Welcome to Washington . . . even though you are not in Washington.

[baxil]

I put in my time in Washington. I know from Washington. And this ...

.. okay, you're right, it's Washington actually.
