Freak Storm

The HB and I are doing the bachelor thing through Saturday as my wife hopped on a flight to Chicago yesterday morning. After I picked him up from school, he did his homework, etc., and then we went to local event. The event was partially a "taste of" with lots of great food and partially an expo of local businesses and non-profits. Some of the exhibits were indoors, other outdoors. Then, something bizarre happened....

It RAINED.

OK, those of you who read this who don't live in SoCal are thinking, "Umb, yeah, that does happen, y'know." What you don't understand is that it almost NEVER rains here between April 15 and October 15. It's just the the law. The fact that it was a late afternoon sun shower made it even weirder. The storm lasted about 20 minutes and wasn't that big of a deal (though, it led to mudslides in recently burned areas).

Tonight, the HB and I will indulge ourselves in seafood stir-fry and the Laker game. I cannot wait.
