PUHLEEEEEZ!………a little rain?
Okay…you know that if I’m asking for rain, I don’t live in California. Aren’t they getting just a little selfish with all the rain they’ve been getting? Levees breaking, the grapes are drowning, highways flooded and closed, surf’s up. It kinda reminds of living in Washington state during the rainy season which compared to having huge buckets of water poured on your head for days with no end. Sometimes you just can’t wind. Yes, I mean wind. Remember, not too far back when I did not rain for a long period out there on the “left coast” and fires were popping up all over the place. Santa Ana winds + no rain= more fires than you can shake a hose at. Fast forward back to the present and about eighteen hundred miles east and you’d be close by, where we’re getting more than our share of fires to contend with. In California they’re saying “Damn rain!” and over here we’re saying, “Damn,RAIN, pleeeez!” Hey, we’ll even take some snow and ice but wouldn’t you know it…….beginning of the year when it’s supposed to be really cold and we’re looking at 60’s and 70’s outside, no snow, ice, OR rain, but lot’s of marshmallow and hotdog roasting activity going on. Oh,well…

I know what you mean! Reminds me of the days when it used to rain cats and dogs, we used to play in the front yard…flooded front yard…getting kakeeohs (?) on our leg, scratching our mosquito bites and dad or mom telling us we were playing the guitar. Remember?
