Rain… Yea, I don’t have to wash my car

Aside from the freeways being a mess, the rain is good and we need it.

I woke up to the sound of rain on the roof and thought, “Nice!” 

It’s been coming in waves which is a good thing up on the mountain. The pauses give the water time to soak in.

Later in the day there’s supposed to be snow, but I’ll be slugging my way toward San Diego when that starts.

The rain will clean the dust out of the air and off the leaves. It will also strip the last of the Autumn color from the forest leaving only the green of the pine trees.

So while many people say they hate the rain I’m one of those that likes it and appreciates the break from, “It’s 78 degrees and sunny,” weather forecasts day in and day out.

I’m also amused by the traffic and weather people gushing about water accumulating on the street, oh my goodness! Whatever will we do? To hear the local newspeople, it seems like everyone should be building an Ark.

Enjoy your day, the free carwash, and drive carefully. No, I don’t mean 20mph on the freeway in the fast lane. Just move at some speed less than 90mph and for god’s sake stay off each others bumpers. Allow a little space, try a little courtesy and everyone will get where they need to be safe and sound

Happy Thanksgiving

For any of you who may BE turkeys… RUN!

Hoping that everyone has a safe and happy thanksgiving.
