"The country’s #stormwater #drain system was designed for the #climate we used to have – 50 or more years ago. What we need is a stormwater system designed for the climate we have now, and the one we’ll have in 50 years from now. Another part of the response can be a “softening” of the urban environment. Tar-seal and #concrete surfaces force water to stay at the surface, to pool and flow."

I taught the computer to classify an area into:

1. #Impervious surfaces

2. Live grass/turf/landscaping

3. Live #tree foliage

4. Bare earth/#soil / vegetation that might live if you #water it

#Waterproof #Boots and #Shoes:

1 pound boiled #Linseed oil
2 oz of #Wax
2 oz of #Turpentine
1 oz burgundy #Pitch

Melt over a slow fire.

With this, [rub onto] new Shoes & Boots in the #Sun with a #Sponge [until] dry.
[Repeat] until fully #Saturated.

Then the #Leather is #Impervious to wet.
The shoes and boots last longer, acquire softness and #Pliability & are the most effective against #Cold.
