Other attractions may win out when it comes to glamour and glitz, but don’t forget too that they usually come with a price.
The water cycle is free.
Or else lure you in with the promise of big prizes.
But isn’t it the case that a day or week or so after winning them we’re back to feeling same (and wanting more)?
What the water cycle delivers is equally reliable and unpredictable all in the same.
Season after season and year after year, it’s there for you like an old friend with a rhythm you know by heart but with subtleties that never cease to surprise.
It’s around you everywhere you look.
Even better still:
The water cycle never leaves town.
Compare that to this “fly by night” carnival:
Here for one weekend, gone for the next fifty one.
Not to worry (although a long time to wait):
Same time next year it’ll be back.
Until then maybe hop a ride on the water cycle ...
It’s here all fifty two!

Hi Bob:
Here are comments on several of your recent posts:
1. Sunrises on the EAST coast of Florida are better than the sunsets on the west coast. I do not know how to attach examples to may comment.
2. The water cycle is indeed 24/7/365/eons. In the context of ecosystem services of wetlands evapo-transpiration is critical to the south Florida water cycle. It is likely that rainfall away from the east coast has declined with drin9ng of the Everglades. Sadly some folks still argue that Aquifer Storage and Recovery saves 'wasted' water.
this is 'beyond science' i.e. BS
Cheers, Dr. Tom
Interesting Tom, I don't doubt it about the east coast sunrises. (But aren't your sunsets sort of a dud in comparison?). You're right about the ET. There was a really good article on that a couple years back relative to ASR.
