Denis Lehane: We Irish farmers are world-renowned experts on rain

We see it every day. We have rain in the blood. So, before I left the Hungarian farmer, his baler was churning out bales faster than you could pike dung.
I was in Hungary last week at a Karate event.
I didn't compete myself, for there would be fear amongst experts in the field, that I might kill someone. I can kick like a donkey when backed into a corner.
