Here comes the rain again
Nov. 9th, 2002 02:07 amAnd now I'm on vacation again. I could get used to this -;) Although I don't feel like I'm on vacation yet; I'm still very much in task mode.
Like others, I was thrilled when it started to rain again, though that reaction surprised me. When I first moved out here (17 years ago now!), I couldn't understand why anyone could get excited by rain. I didn't realize that the first rain out here was a similar event to the first snow in the Midwest. It transforms the world. It provides an anniversary of sorts. And doing battle (however mild) with the elements brings us out of ourselves.
It's all good except for the power failures.
