rant

The media has been flooded with politics regarded flooding. The new Prime Minister has been flying around in a helicopter and taking tours of the flooded areas - inflicting her whims on the local elected representatives as she sees fit to the chagrin of just about anyone who wants to be chagrined. The rains come, Acts of God as any Insurance company would have in their legal documents, but I'll note that there doesn't seem to be a large proportion of people going to their respective places of worship and discussing rain with their Creator.

It drives me nuts. When I was abroad, I got used to being able to go to a bank during normal business hours. It doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for me to think that banks around the world would do something similar - but in Guyana I encountered the same thing. Clearly I lack the intellectual capital to comprehend that a business that holds my money and uses it for its profit would be available for me during regular business hours.

Clearly.
