The 6-month mark – we’re a quarter done our posting in the Solomons.
Rain again has been significant. One night about ten days ago, there was a raging mini-river, with rapids, in our yard ... from under the next-door shack, gushing through our flowers, and on down the valley. It cut itself channels, and down at the bus-stop, the main road had a huge build-up of silt and coral gravel, spilling across it in a virtual drift. It had rained all day, and then at suppertime it came down in sheets and kept coming throughout the night. We’ve never seen such a quantity.
