Re: current weather
SBL, it was me. In fact, since the drought is continuing, we're still on electricity rationing across the country. (This may sound like a non-sequitur, but Ecuador is 100% hydroelectric) This is going to end in tears - the highland farmers were unable to get the potato, corn, barley, quinoa, and "cool weather" vegetable crops in, and the coastal farmers lost the year's second cycle of rice. About the only thing doing well cropwise this year is Amazon bananas and fruits. The price of staple foods is already going up.
