Every Day We Have Some Weather, and — Breaking News! — Yesterday Was No Exception
Apparently it's been raining a lot. We had no idea, until the Times told us:

The figure of the walker on the walk-don't-walk sign would be wearing waders if it were down where the real walkers are, not high and dry on a lamppost. Roofs have taken a beating. Yesterday, the United Nations General Assembly abandoned its chamber because of a leak overhead.
Good thing our world-class newspaper took 900 words — and four reporters — to tell us. These are the things we'd never learn if we lived in a Gannett town.
