Rain, Rain, Go Away.....

Day 3 of the deluge. There's panic in the streets, people are huddled under umbrellas, flip flops are floating by in the wash, news crews are out covering the devastation, and every 5 minutes the local TV stations break into the programming to give us updates with STORMWATCH 2010. Dahn da daaaaaaa..... Are you kidding me? This is just a normal day in Ketchikan, AK.

So, yep, there is this strange liquid falling from the skies that has the locals here in Palm Springs in a tizzy. And I do mean TIZZY with a capital "T". Their hair is getting wet, makeup is running and there are these ugly splotches all over their cute little golf outfits.

But, worst of all, the golf courses are under water. Such a shame, especially since the Bob Hope Classic was in full, um, swing (sorry, bad pun) until this nasty, horrible water started falling and ruined everyone's fun.

When will it end everyone asks? Plans have to be changed, they can't go outside, roads are closed and the local street fairs and farmers markets refuse to open. It's like ARMAGEDDON for godssakes!

As for us, heck, after doing 5 months in Ketchikan, this is nuthin'! I just pulled out my Xtra Tufs, popped some Vitamin D, and the dogs and I went looking for rainbows.....
