Up early on a Sunday 'cause I'm bout to shoot some family photos outdoors this morning, and its raining!?!
I'm fairly sure it will stop, and dry up in the next few minutes and be like 100°f today but WTF July?

Where was the real rain when we needed it?

Don't feel bad, I just looked in the back yard and saw that the storm took out a good portion of our block wall in the back yard.  Whoever built the wall, didn't put any rebar in it, so the wall just fell over.

I thought NOW is when you need rain.. in Calif, and everywhere that feeds the Colorado River.

You need every drop you get.

Well we got like 5 drops.
I didn't even have to use my windshield wipers.
There's a big gray cloud, and the rest is blue sky.
Nice breeze.... Sitting here in Dublin waiting for my clients to show up.

I think it usually rains like a couple weeks in Dec.
Then maybe once in Feb and everyone complains that its still "winter".
Then a day or two in April.
This is California, we only have one season: AWESOME!

Of course, your city seems to hog all the rain, so it's a big deal when he gets rain.

We don't get that big of a quantity of rain, we just tell that to people who don't live here so they will stay the hell away.

There are already too many people here, we don't need more (unless they are models).

since other personal topics people recently shared included; teaching themselves how to use a camera setting, and getting glasses.
i figured a weather update was equally exciting.

then the flaw in your plan is that you should stop telling people there is rain and start telling people that theres a large number of modeling agencies signing 5'2 models. tongue

My best friend lives in L.A. and he absolutely hates it. He says he misses "real" weather. The only thing he likes about living there is when he can feel an earthquake. He's been working out of state and has missed the last 2. Yeah, he is a bit weird.

I am betting he already has. He has lived in Japan as well. I am guessing tremors make some people feel alive.
