With enough infrastructure, all droughts are shallow?

Monsoon forecast

The Barelas (aka “Little Ditch”) was running when I rode up to its heading this morning. Hardly ever see that. It’s a favorite. Guy walking his dog told me the Farmers Almanac says we’re gonna have a wet summer. Epistemologically solid.

Trespassing

A lady weeding in her front yard explained that I should just ignore the ginormous “PRIVATE PROPERTY” sign at the end of the street to cut through to get to the Duranes Lateral. Just be sure to close the gate, she said. Local norms FTW.

Mariachi

Technically not on the ride, but on the drive home, past the cemetery on Edith with the windows rolled down on a lovely spring morning, heard a mariachi band playing at a funeral. Local norms FTW.
