NOT. But I know it's good for the environment so why do I complain? The answer is quite simple really. Soggy socks. If my socks could stay waterproof in the rain with me not having to dig through storage for rain boots I would love the rain, in fact the rain and I would be BFF's.

Now we all know its been raining like hell for the past couple of weeks, as much as I dislike the rain, it's a nice change of pace and its beneficial to us during our time of drought...mmm not really. According to this article the weeks of rain barely did anything to help improve the water situation we are in, the article notes that California is certain to go through mandatory summer-time water rationing. This is not only for all the struggling farmers around San Jose or the Bay Area, but all of California, according to the article it's the worst we've ever had it. The article then goes on to mention the plight of farmers and our condition, statistics and comparisons to past droughts. Why does this interest me so much? Well even though I'm not the biggest fan of rain I do take interest into anything that can help our city, area, and state during this water crisis. Heck, if I'm making sure I turn the water faucet off when brushing my teeth and rain (outside) is filling our reservoirs, I guess i can safely say the rain and I are on the same team. It's important to know about California's water situation. It's time we start doing something for everyone and start saving some H20.

I agree with you, while it isnt always a great feel of being wet as one walks around outside, it is needed. The rain makes it feel as if we will have as much water as we need but your right, we wont. What will happen to people with swimming pools, lawns and parks like Raging Waters. This kind of drought isn't going to solve anything on its own but while there are some people that read, or are forced to read(hehe), the news paper and are aware of this crisis. But i didnt know that with all this rain it didnt make much of a difference. Good choice, very interesting.
