A quick shot with the Blackberry of Victoria Gardens in the rain(Though it was an afterthought from the car: Fail)
We got a little rain today, actually it was a light to moderate rain that was steady most of the day. It was awesome. I love the rain. I miss the rain. It rains very little in Southern California, it is a desert after all. What surprises me still is how much the average Southern Californian hates the rain. If we get an inch in a day you would have thought it was killing their favorite dog or at least robbing them of their birthday. People mope and complain and stressfully wish for "some relief" as they put it. Yes it can go for 7 months without any rain, wildfires will devastate entire neighborhoods and when we get ONE day of rain people down here act like it is the worst day EVER. Actually if its not exactly 77 degrees people complain.
Not I. It was great today. I went for a walk around Victoria Gardens (a great mall we have) and just walked in the rain with my coffee. I was soaked. I noticed while I was there that all the trees and plants, flowers and even the birds loved the rain. All of the things that had life were happy in the rain, the Southern Californians were not. That says it all to me. -NC
