Hooray! It arrived!

Yeah–monsoon isn’t just a matter of “oh, it’s raining.” It’s a very specific pattern of rain, where the weather can go from clear skies to thunderstorms and back again within hours. These two photos were taken about 18 hours apart. This year the rain is happening mostly afternoon and evening, giving the farmers plenty of time to work.

It’s a bit wet then, is it? (d&r….)

Shower curtain and a plastic or rubber shield across the base?

Actually, in this case, you don’t block the bottom of the gate at all. Most Indian style houses have cement floors, and the floor is slightly canted towards a drain hole. It’s not visible in the pictures, but the gate is equipped with drain holes so water can flow back out to the balcony from the veranda. Two hours after the storm, the water had drained and the floor was practically dry.

Did you guys get enough wet over the long haul to make a difference? I hope so!

What is customjuju?

Customjuju is a concept. Customjuju is a mode of thinking. Customjuju is a way of life. It is the belief that magic is as useful a tool as a RJ45 crimper or a Hitachi Magic Wand. That floating in a tank is as productive as sitting behind a desk. That the global village really is right next door.
