Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

It’s been rain, rain, and more rain in Singapore again.  I can’t believe my load of laundry from 2 days ago is still not dry.  The dog is stinking up a storm too because she smells like, well, a wet dog!

 When I looked out my window and saw the rushing brown water rising in the canal, I wondered how many more days of rain before Noah like flooding will happen and we’ll have to get into a boat.  I’ll have to find my dog a mate- oh wait, she’s spayed already so that won’t do any good.

I miss the sun.

I’ve overturned many a chessboard and have never had any end up as neatly as this :)

Cherry Shrimp in my Fish Tank

Date August 4, 2008

I have Sakura (Japanese for Cherry) Shrimp in my fish tank and they are really cute.  I’ve got the red striped ones, brown striped ones, and purely bright red shrimp.  Sadly though, in a recent massive pruning of the vegetation to make space, some shrimp couldn’t handle the overhaul.  I might have lost some of my lamp-eye tetra as well.  I don’t know because in the recent births, I’ve lost count of how many there are actually in the tank.  Some are still really tiny while others are almost half the size of the mature ones.
