Yeah, this is the first rain we've had in something like 3 or 4 months. It was drizzling here all day long and I was getting pissed.

I'm one of those people who wants it sunny 24/7, but if it's going to rain, I want it to POUR and STORM, the drizzle that just ruins everyone's day but isn't exciting is just a pain in the ass.

Last night though, at about 2:30AM on my way home from Sausalito it just opened up and dumped TONS of water all over the place and on the road. Now what's it doing? Damn drizzle again.

it rained pretty hard here in Alameda earlier. I enjoyed it and I don't really mind it. I actually like driving in the rain. However I don't like the morons that can't drive in the rain. Oh well we need it to rain.

we've felt the effects from several hurricanes, it's nice to have a dry spell. It's
supposed to end tomorrow though.

He hit a puddle like 8-10 inches deep...splashed water covered my car and I couldn't see anything, I was driving blind. Let off the gas, stayed straight and held on for dear life. Came out of the water and saw him spinning out to the center divide and almost hit me, and the guy that was behind him cut across the freeway and almost hit me in the process.

We've kinda needed it. I like rain, it's cleansing and the air smells good after a good downpour (lightning storms are more fun to watch and smell better too-ionic breeze yo :thumbup: ). Even so, I stay off the road as much as possible for the first couple of days of rainy season because it seems like a bunch of idiots have forgotten how to drive in wet weather and cause accidents. It's like a seasonal learning curve every damn year .
