StormWatch!
Ok - its raining.
Now, I recognize that for much of the world, this doesn't quite rate as "news." But, please understand - I live in Southern California, geographically, a "desert" (don't let those golf courses fool you). So, at the point where the ambient water vapor reaches the point of ...oh, I don't know.. a hot shower... the media goes absolutely buggy with "STORMWATCH 2006!!!!!" and other equally silly proclamations of precipitation of biblical proportions.
Of course, the corollary to this media panic, is the fear on the roadways. Put simply, because it rains so little here - people drive like idiots when their precious sleds get moist. Its like the rain coming down washes away every atom of common sense and driving is suddenly the halftime show at the demolition derby and motocross event.
Of course - even with the idiots - its still better than living other places... like Oregon...

Rain? ahahahahaaaaaa....
You call THAT rain???
You were kicked out of Oregon and banned to California for fucking annoying fat chicks. Sure, there are no fat chicks in California, but there are plenty of annoying ones - so it works out well for both of us. Oregonians consider California to be like Elba for Napoleon - which, considering you think you are king and you are short, is appropriate.
Vancouver, Washington on the other hand. Now that's a nice place.
Actually, my reasons for being kicked out of Oregon have...well... the restraining order restricts my ability to comment.
Washington IS lovely, in a 38 straight days of rain, wishing for the sweet release of access to a rusty razor blade sort of way....
