September 23rd: One way of knowing if it has been raining really hard lately is whether there are snails on the trees. Snails don't like drowning, so when a downpour comes, they head for higher ground, even if it means hauling themselves straight up. Fortunately, there's lots to eat, such as mould and dry dead matter on a tree's surface. When the ground is dry, they will head back down, where they come out mostly at night to eat rotting leaves, just doing their part to keep the planet tidy.
