Spring weather

The weather has been insane lately. Eburg is getting uncharacteristic amounts of rain, and when it rains here, it pours. Not like Seattle where it's always dreary and like 'oh I think I'll rain, oh no, just kidding.' Where else in the world do you have like 50 different words to describe the kind of rain we get there? Seattle (hell, all of the Pacific Northwest) rain is nothing but a tease and an irritation.

Last week there were record highs all week long which was making the snow in the mountains melt too fast, causing flooding in some places. It was 90 and over everyday. In contrast to last monday, yesterday was about 25 degrees cooler and raining.

It poured yesterday soaking things that are normally well sheltered. It was crazy. It rained just as hard friday, except friday was warm. It was so nice... I went out and stood it it. I love the rain when it's warm. When Seattle gets rain like that, it usually only lasts for a few minutes tops, but it practically monsooned for twenty minutes. I even went outside and scrubbed off the bug guts that had been baking on my windshield all week. It was grand. I haven't run around in rain that nice and warm since I was 18.

I'm now excited for monsoon season in Japan next spring. I'm sure it will grow old after about three days, but hey, I can be happy about the warm buckets falling from the sky for those three days, right?

Well, pouring yet again. I'm glad my last class was cancelled today. Saved me from having to bike home in this stuff.

PS: Lookit at what Maurice did. It's so cute!! Pretty good, ne?
