Row, Row, Row Your Boat

BREAKING NEWS: It's raining. Again.

It has rained daily for the past 4 years here. Well, ok -- not 4 years. But it certainly seems that way. A vast majority of June was soaked in water, and July is looking to be that way as well. I mentioned in a previous blog entry that one of the only reasons Texas is bearable during the summer is because of the crazy storms we get here. Everything is all dark and dramatic -- lots of thunder and lightning. I love that.

Except when I'm in the middle of driving home of work.

As it is, it usually takes me an hour to get home from work. Add in a little water (even a slight sprinkle) and everyone thinks they're gonna fly off the roads, so they drive 15mph. And then it takes me twice as long to get home. IT'S PAINFUL. Well, painful until it turns scary, sitting on the middle of the freeway when giant hails start to fall.

Then I'm sad. (My poor car has endured a lot over this past year.)

And looking at the forecast, we're scheduled to have rain for at least the next five days. See:

It makes me want to build a boat and learn to fish. Well, ok. Not really. Maybe I can hire someone to do it for me.
