My 1000th post!

Thanks for caring.

Luckily, it isn't causing me any real problems; here in the inner city of Vienna, it's mostly annoying, depressing and reducing social life...

At least not major problems, that is: My head hurts a bit from the constant sound of the rain (which hasn't really stopped at any time since saturday or sunday ) and taking a walk to enjoy the summer has become pretty much impossible.
Also, my best pal around here got caught in a rainstorm on monday that wrecked his umbrella and so really got him - and then he had to wait, drenched to the skin, at around 11 PM, for the bus - for half an hour. He's ill now - which also meant that we couldn't game today like we had planned to do.

If the rain doesn't stop soon, though, we'll get some slightly more serious problems: At least one highway on the outskirts of the city already had to be closed temporarily - but if it keeps raining, one part of the subway will be flooded so severely that they'll have to shut it down.
Still, unless God unleashes a new Flood to start anew with humanity thereafter, I'll be okay.

Gah. Even more than normally, I'm really glad now that I don't live in the outskirts of the city - much less somewhere in the countryside: There are constantly pictures in the news of rural villages (up to and including small cities) that are experiencing severe problems with flooding - and storms of hail, too, in some cases - in August!

Indeed, it's terrible to see the news of what's happening in not-so-sunny Austria, the Land Up Top. And in places nearby like Prague, too.

Here, by contrast, we're in a drought. Such extreme weather conditions are a way of life for us Austrians everywhere.

Think that's bad?

I've seen it snow in every single month of the year except Aug. (No I don't live in Alaska Just the coldest state in the Union!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Doubt it...

Wicht has been slackening off lately (maybe YB! isn't as popular as it once was?). I used to be much further behind him than that. Kreynolds, by contrast, is making up for lost time.

I think YB would need an epic-level handbook now; the most dedicated characters have reached the highest possible level already (or are only slightly below it) and since they stand little to gain now, yet could slip to the level before the highest if they lose, they don't fight all that much any more.

Their players, though, have created new characters. *shrug* Hmm... Maybe something completely new would be good for YB...
