6. Rain sucks.
I figure we're paying tons of money in rent/mortgages for the privilege of living somewhere sunny and warm. I want a rent break for the past few weeks. x(

7. I think we had more rain in '98
because we had a lot of flooding. But I don't remember having rain nearly every day for such a long time like this.

It's fucking depressing, man.

8. In San Diego, we had an unusually dry, sunny winter. Only March was wet.
We are way below the normal rainfall for the winter season.

I. Am. So. Sick. Of. Rain.

My garden is more like a small lake right now, and I need to be out there digging in the dirt. Every freakin' day, more rain.

15. We'd be happy to ship you some
We've been trying to send it to Texas, but that hasn't worked. Maybe a shorter distance would work.

19. Yep. 25 out of 31 days in March we got rain.
Every day so far in April we've had rain.

And it's not letting up for at least two more weeks. Come up to Santa Rosa; we've got more rain than we know what to do with!
