It's been turning very tropical here in Holland over the last two years. We normally didn't get such humid heat for such a long time. Scratches are turning into nasty infections that last for weeks (I had one of those recently, and a few friends said it happened to them, too.)

Yesterday, an angler pulled a piranha out of the Groningen city canal. He took a picture of it and put it back.

Yay for Dubya and his refusal to sign the Kyoto treaty!
