First rain of the winter today.
I could smell the ozone even at my desk in a building full of windows that don't open. I thought I imagined it, until I went to the lab. I passed the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the hills and I saw the wet pavement in the parking lot.

I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.

Yes, it's been nice to have the door open with the cool breeze and the smell of ozone mixed with wet earth and sawdust. I love what I do.
