Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day

I think there are a few others that would agree the fact that it has rained a bit too much here lately. Last year at this time, there was a ban on fireworks due to the lack of rain. There will not be a ban this year, I guarantee it!

On the way to work this morning, it seemed every street was gridlocked. I couldn’t find a good way to get to work, at all. I thought people just didn’t know how to drive in rain. The problem was on the corner of Westshore and Cypress – my exact route to work. This would be the reason why I couldn’t seem to find one single route to work! It was underwater, about 3 feet under water. Geniuses thought they could float their car across or something. Tow trucks were making bank today. I saw a lady in a pants skirt walking through our parking lot with no shoes on and a flipped inside-out pink umbrella on a cell phone today. Where oh where was my camera!

There were people trying to do U-turns but there was a median holding these low-to-the-ground cars from completing this turn. Their wheels were getting buried in the mud and the concrete barriers were blocking the wheels from moving.

I actually drained my pool down to the “normal” level because I thought I would be able to swim tonight! All to have the entire day soaked with rain. At least give us the weekend without rain…please?
