Well, to be honest Parker, Garreth's comment didn't really seem to be one that would elicit response. Sort of a statement of fact more than anything else. But if you want a response, I'll type up a short one.
On a completely unrelated note, if any of you happens to be a geomage, conjure up some f*cking rain over Iowa will you? Rivers aren't supposed to consist of nothing but dry, caked dirt. I suppose that's what happens when your entire state has fallen short of its spring/summer rain average by over six inches. Even our damn grass is dead. EVERYONE'S. The crops are dead too btw, so all of you get ready for increased food prices. The nation's "breadbasket" is a f*cking dust bowl this year. Mother nature's being an over-heated b*tch.
