The short voyage of the USS Notepaper

It rained so hard the street was streaming, and as always, when the street gets like that, I want to send a boat down it. So today I turned to the internet, refreshed my memory on how to make a paper boat (I think last tried when I was a kid and reading Curious George), and sailed it down the street.

Here is the street



And here is the boat, prior to launch



And here is her 20-second maiden voyage!



Alas, she took on water. . .

Good heavens! That right there is more rain than we have had this entire year!

It rained like that down here, too, most of the morning. We just got back from an Ingress wander, and it's still very humid.

Your rainfall looks similar to what arrived on the farm yesterday.
Nice boat

That's some rain! I wonder if Liem knows how to fold a paper boat yet...

I wonder if S would like to float a paper boat...

We've been having enough rain to do so. :P

ETA: Icon fix. Because if ever there was a perfect time for this one, tis now!
