Have we completely ruled out the possibility that kotsy controls the weather?

I haven't been quite as ingrained in the development industry here as I had been in TO, and the scale of development is way way smaller, especially now because NZ is in yet another bad recession manufactured by its own sh*tty conservative government. We've definitely had our own share of...
