I love rain, too. Kinda bored with it by now due to short attention span, also leak is directly over BF's chair, which is the only comfortable place for him when his back is out like it is now. I foresee furniture moving in my future.

I LOVE RAIN.

Ah, but yes ...

Except for when I realise half way to the 'store' that I left my wallet at home and therefore have to get twice as wet and twice as cold.

The LA Rain is the better rain, methinks.

I like rain if I don't have to go anywhere (see: work) so it's been alright. I went grocery shopping last night in the rain and it was actually kinda fun, since I don't have to do it, like, ever. I don't think I could take it long-term, though.

(Also, the one letter tag thing was to spell out "welcome back, P-C!!")

LA rain is comedy rain, as native Californians are afraid of Water Falling From the Sky and this causes them to freak out which is amusing to transplanted east Coasters.

It sort of freaks me out, Robin. It's not so much that I am afraid to drive in it, as i am afraid of the other people driving in it.

Plus, I have little autopilot routes the way I did on the East Coast that just let you sort of groove through any weather. I drove through the snow and icy roads when I was home and it didn't take but a minute to remember how to drive on the slippery.

Here, I panic from the other drivers whom I am convinced are driving too fast to maneuver.

We drove around the neighborhood this morning after chicken fried steak at Bob's Big Boy to see the relative effectiveness of the storm drains around here. Lankershim has a few good storm drains, but most of the street is entirely screwed and the outer lanes are under 8" of water at least. Our side street has bad flow patterns so it's got a good 5-8' wide river along the curb, but our main street and alley are doing fine.

I still have a shitload of work to do today, but fortunately my dialup hasn't crapped out on me yet, and my other team members are also currently online, too.

They either drive too fast or too slow with jamming on the brakes every five seconds. No, it's most funny when I am sitting home watching on TV (especially the hysterical coverage on local news), actually on the roads--not so hilarious.

Yeah, here it's the other drivers who scare me.

So sorry about the leaky roof, Robin! And I hope BF's back is improving despite that.

Yeah, it's crazy out there. I am very glad I only have to drive a mile to work tomorrow.

I am bummed that I haven't had time to get new shoes for my car yet. Maybe Monday afternoon, after my charts are due. Or maybe I'll drive Hank. Hank is FUN to drive in the rain!
