Here comes the rain again

It’s raining. No, it’s pouring cars and dogs. Actually in Poland we would say that it’s throwing frogs. But the phrase is irrelevant, the intensity is. I’ve been waiting for this rain like salvation, in a way. I thing I have bloged enough about the weather over the summer – had to write about something when I couldn’t write about my internship – but it was all about heat and humidity, not about rain. Sure it rained in between now and then, but that was just a drizzle.

More important should be the reason why I was waiting so impatiently. You might think that when you have high humidity you don’t have a drought. Apparently one does not exclude the other. So yes, rain is good.

On a side note, British Air announced earlier today that they will split the replacement of their aging 747’s between Boeing 787 Dreamliner (24 planes) and Airbus A380 (12 planes). I just finished a case last week contemplating the feasibility of A380 R&D and trying to value the NPV of the project without knowing demand. One thing I can say is that product conversion rates sure make a difference. I’m still not convinced and question whether I want to get into a double decker and fly long haul.
