we're having some weather
11 o'clock news in los angeles.
and the top story of the evening? it's hot, humid and raining. there have been eight weather-related accidents over just three hours. forget hurricane ivan--it's balmy and raining in los angeles!
i'm more than a little embarrassed that i am beginning relate to this state of mind. when i first moved to la, i used to laugh and point at angeleans that panicked at the first sign of moisture then subsequently lost their ability to safely navigate the roadways.
but i've been in los angeles for a couple of years now. and i have to admit that not too long ago i was driving along on the freeway, and some foreign "object" splatted against my windshield. startled, i gasped, looked around and then up to the sky thinking to myself, "what in the sam hell was that?"
erm, it was a raindrop.
it doesn't take long my friends. not long at all.
