Rain again???

I recognize that we are spoiled here in California (where the sun always shines). When it does rain, people here tend to get, well, whiny. I used to make fun of those people, being that I come from the land of 4 seasons and frigid, bone-chilling winters. Now, I have become one of them. It has been raining since last Thursday, with only about a day and a half of nice weather between the storms. And this is not just a light drizzle. This is a drenching, streets-getting-flooded, puddles-past-your-ankles, pounding, blowing rain. I guess this is winter in California.
