Day 713: it’s raining, it’s pouring

Sometimes you need a project that’s just for, y’know, goofing around. This is the ongoing saga of my Minecraft character. For lack of a better title, we’re going with “One Among the Dead”. 

Day 713: It’s raining

I was out clearing brush from nearby when the skies opened up. Got some digging to the east done, found another seam of granite in the area I’m clearing.

I’m still fascinated by the fact that it can rain here for days and the lakes and rivers don’t rise in the least. On the other hand, we’ve had stretches of nice weather for days at a time and the water levels don’t fall either.

I guess I should be glad though. Caving is dangerous business when the water levels are fluid (hah see what I did there?) and I’ve already gotten dunked a few times digging into the river as it is.

The thunder started late in the evening, and once again I could hear it a few levels down in my current mining shaft. It’s a bit creepy, and the kind of thing I would have drown out with music when I was groundbound… which I am again.
